Is It Time For 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2013 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 jolts, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 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, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, 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 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 Sprinter 3500 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mercedes-Benz up 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. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 suspension 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.

2013 Sprinter 3500 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 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 3500 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 the tires connect with the road how Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • When does Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Sprinter 3500’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Mercedes-Benz service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Sprinter 3500 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Sprinter 3500 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 shocks? 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.
