When To Get 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your SLK55 AMG jolts, sways 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 SLK55 AMG in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your SLK55 AMG steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mercedes-Benz up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your SLK55 AMG’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2014 SLK55 AMG Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for 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 SLK55 AMG? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 SLK55 AMG power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your SLK55 AMG’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Mercedes-Benz service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your SLK55 AMG to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my SLK55 AMG tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your SLK55 AMG'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 SLK55 AMG need replacing? Worn SLK55 AMG shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your SLK55 AMG might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your SLK55 AMG shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
