Is It Time For 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK350, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your SLK350 feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 in for steering and suspension services. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. 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 parts of your Mercedes-Benz SLK350 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mercedes-Benz SLK350 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK350’s suspension. 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 limit vibration and keep your Mercedes-Benz up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK350’s shocks and struts replaced 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 indicators of worn Mercedes-Benz SLK350 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK350’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2010 SLK350 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 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mercedes-Benz SLK350? 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 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’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines 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 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 SLK350 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your SLK350 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your SLK350 travels over minor bumps.
