Does Your 2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Sprinter 3500 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, bring it 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 3500 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 3500 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500’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. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Sprinter 3500’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2010 Sprinter 3500 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Sprinter 3500's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500? 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.
  • When should I have my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Sprinter 3500 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Sprinter 3500 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Sprinter 3500 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.
  • What do worn Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 shocks feel like? Worn Sprinter 3500 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Sprinter 3500 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Sprinter 3500 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
