When To Get 2018 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2018 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your S65 AMG bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2018 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your S65 AMG steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2018 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your S65 AMG’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2018 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2018 S65 AMG Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • When does Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your S65 AMG’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your S65 AMG goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my S65 AMG tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your S65 AMG combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG shocks? Worn S65 AMG shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
