Is It Time For 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your SL65 AMG feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2008 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.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 your Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your SL65 AMG’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators 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. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my SL65 AMG's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 SL65 AMG? 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 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 optimally.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your SL65 AMG goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my SL65 AMG's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your SL65 AMG when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG are bad? Worn SL65 AMG shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your SL65 AMG might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your SL65 AMG shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
