Does Your 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your SLS AMG bounces, leans 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 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your SLS AMG steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG’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. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2012 SLS 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 SLS AMG? 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 SLS AMG 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 SLS AMG is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mercedes-Benz service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your SLS AMG 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.
  • Why does my SLS AMG's nose dive down 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 do I know if I have worn Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG shocks? If your SLS AMG shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your SLS AMG might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
