Does Your 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your SL65 AMG feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your SL65 AMG suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your SL65 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 SL65 AMG Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG’s shocks and struts replaced 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 signs of worn Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your SL65 AMG’s 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.

2006 SL65 AMG Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my SL65 AMG's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new 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 SL65 AMG? 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 SL65 AMG power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your SL65 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 SL65 AMG bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my SL65 AMG to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your SL65 AMG'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 SL65 AMG need replacing? If your SL65 AMG shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your SL65 AMG might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
