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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500?

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 the tires connect with the road how Mercedes-Benz intended.

When should I have my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500 power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why is my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500 bouncing excessively?

Excessive bouncing in your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.

Why does my Sprinter 1500 tilt forward when I hit the brakes?

The forward dip in the front end of your Sprinter 1500 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500 need replacing?

If your Sprinter 1500 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 Sprinter 1500 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.

Does Your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500, 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 Sprinter 1500 bounces, 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 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500 in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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 absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Sprinter 1500 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
