What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercedes-Benz's suspension?

Keeping your tires properly inflated 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 SLC300?

Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

Does my Mercedes-Benz SLC300 power steering fluid need to be checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your SLC300’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 SLC300 bouncing so much?

Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.

Why does my SLC300 tilt forward when I hit the brakes?

When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.

How can I tell if the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz SLC300 are bad?

Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your SLC300 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your SLC300 travels over minor bumps.

Is It Time For 2020 Mercedes-Benz SLC300 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2020 Mercedes-Benz SLC300, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your SLC300 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2020 Mercedes-Benz SLC300 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your SLC300 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mercedes-Benz SLC300 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2020 Mercedes-Benz SLC300’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2020 Mercedes-Benz SLC300’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Mercedes-Benz SLC300 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your SLC300’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.
