Is It Time For 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK350, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your SLK350 jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Mercedes-Benz SLK350’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 SLK350 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK350’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your SLK350’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, 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 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.

2013 SLK350 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important 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.
  • When should I have my Mercedes-Benz SLK350 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your SLK350’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Mercedes-Benz SLK350 bounce 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my SLK350 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your SLK350 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.
  • What do worn Mercedes-Benz SLK350 shocks feel like? 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.
