When To Get 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK350, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your SLK350 jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your SLK350 suspension system needs repair, 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 recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mercedes-Benz SLK350 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2014 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. 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 getting your 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK350’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz SLK350 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto 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 SLK350 Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mercedes-Benz SLK350? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • 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 follow Mercedes-Benz service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Mercedes-Benz SLK350 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your SLK350 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my SLK350 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your SLK350's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz SLK350 need replacing? 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.
