Does Your 2019 Mercedes-Benz SL450 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2019 Mercedes-Benz SL450, 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 SL450 jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2019 Mercedes-Benz SL450, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 SL450 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 SL450 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2019 Mercedes-Benz SL450’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mercedes-Benz up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2019 Mercedes-Benz SL450 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 back and forth could all be signs of worn Mercedes-Benz SL450 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2019 Mercedes-Benz SL450 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2019 Mercedes-Benz SL450 Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mercedes-Benz SL450? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • When does Mercedes-Benz SL450 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 SL450 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Mercedes-Benz SL450 to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Mercedes-Benz SL450 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my SL450 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your SL450 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz SL450 need replacing? Worn SL450 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.
