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 alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mercedes-Benz intended.

Does my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 power steering fluid need to be checked?

Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Mercedes-Benz service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why is my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 bouncing 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 3500 to bounce more than usual.

Why does my Sprinter 3500 front end dip forward when I brake?

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 cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.

Does Your 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2024 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, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 your Sprinter 3500 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mercedes-Benz up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they 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. It’s a smart move to get your Sprinter 3500’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
