Does Your 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL400 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL400, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your SL400 bounces, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL400 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Mercedes-Benz SL400 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mercedes-Benz SL400

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL400 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. But there's no set schedule for 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL400 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Mercedes-Benz SL400 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL400 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2015 SL400 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my SL400's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mercedes-Benz SL400? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Mercedes-Benz SL400 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your SL400’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Mercedes-Benz SL400 to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your SL400 to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my SL400 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What do worn Mercedes-Benz SL400 shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your SL400 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your SL400 travels over minor bumps.
