Does Your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Sprinter 3500XD jolts, sways 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 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Sprinter 3500XD suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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. 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 3500XD 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 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 should I have my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Sprinter 3500XD is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mercedes-Benz service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Sprinter 3500XD 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 3500XD front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Sprinter 3500XD 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD are bad? If your Sprinter 3500XD shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Sprinter 3500XD might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
