Does Your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Sprinter 2500 jolts, drifts 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 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, bring it 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, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Sprinter 2500 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500’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 Sprinter 2500 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mercedes-Benz up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Sprinter 2500’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2016 Sprinter 2500 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your 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 2500? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 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 Sprinter 2500’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Sprinter 2500 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Sprinter 2500's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Sprinter 2500 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 do worn Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 shocks feel like? Worn Sprinter 2500 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Sprinter 2500 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Sprinter 2500 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
