Does Your 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your SL65 AMG bounces, 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 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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 a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mercedes-Benz up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth 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 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.

2009 SL65 AMG Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • When should I have my Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your SL65 AMG is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG bouncing excessively? 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 front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG need replacing? 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.
