Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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.

Why should my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment.

Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mercedes-Benz intended.

When does Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Mercedes-Benz service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why is my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 bouncing excessively?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Sprinter 3500 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.

Why does my Sprinter 3500's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

The forward dip in the front end of your Sprinter 3500 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.

How can I tell if the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 are bad?

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.

When To Get 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Sprinter 3500 feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Sprinter 3500 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Sprinter 3500 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.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2016 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. But there's no set schedule for 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 shock and strut replacement 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. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.
