Is It Time For 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your SLR McLaren jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, bring it 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 SLR McLaren’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 SLR McLaren Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2006 SLR McLaren Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my SLR McLaren's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 SLR McLaren? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your SLR McLaren is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your SLR McLaren to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my SLR McLaren to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your SLR McLaren 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 SLR McLaren shocks? Worn SLR McLaren shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
