Does Your 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK350, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your SLK350 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK350, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your SLK350 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mercedes-Benz SLK350’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 SLK350 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK350’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz SLK350 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your SLK350’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my SLK350's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • Why should my Mercedes-Benz SLK350 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz SLK350 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 SLK350 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Mercedes-Benz SLK350 to have a bouncy ride? 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 SLK350 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your SLK350 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 SLK350 shocks? Worn SLK350 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your SLK350 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your SLK350 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
