Is It Time For 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK250, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your SLK250 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 in for suspension and steering service. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub 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 what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Mercedes-Benz SLK250’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mercedes-Benz SLK250 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 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 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Mercedes-Benz SLK250 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my SLK250's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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.
  • Why should my Mercedes-Benz SLK250 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.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz SLK250 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your SLK250 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Mercedes-Benz SLK250 to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Mercedes-Benz SLK250 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my SLK250 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your SLK250 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mercedes-Benz SLK250 shocks? If your SLK250 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 SLK250 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
