Is It Time For 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Sprinter 2500 feels bouncy, 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 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 parts of your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500’s suspension. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Sprinter 2500’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2017 Sprinter 2500 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? 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 can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 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 2500 tilt forward 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Sprinter 2500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Sprinter 2500 travels over minor bumps.
