Is It Time For 2018 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2018 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your SL63 AMG feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2018 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your SL63 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 SL63 AMG Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2018 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG’s suspension. 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 SL63 AMG’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2018 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG suspension 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.

2018 SL63 AMG Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my SL63 AMG's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 should I have my Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my SL63 AMG to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your SL63 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your SL63 AMG feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your SL63 AMG travels over minor bumps.
