Does Your 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK250, 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. Maybe your SLK250 jolts, pulls 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 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK250, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your SLK250 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Mercedes-Benz SLK250 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, 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 SLK250

Your 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK250’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. 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 SLK250’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Mercedes-Benz SLK250 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your SLK250’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.

Questions About 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 Steering & Suspension

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your 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 SLK250? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz SLK250 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your SLK250’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Mercedes-Benz service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz SLK250 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your SLK250 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my SLK250 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your SLK250 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 do I know if I have worn Mercedes-Benz SLK250 shocks? Worn SLK250 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your SLK250 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your SLK250 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
