When To Get 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL550, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your SL550 jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL550 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your SL550 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your SL550 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 SL550 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL550 suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 SL550 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Mercedes-Benz SL550 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your SL550’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2015 SL550 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my SL550's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mercedes-Benz SL550? 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.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz SL550 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your SL550’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz SL550 bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your SL550 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my SL550's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your SL550's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz SL550 need replacing? Worn SL550 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your SL550 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your SL550 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
