Is It Time For 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Sprinter 3500XD bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD 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.

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

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2021 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, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2021 Sprinter 3500XD Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Sprinter 3500XD's steering and 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. 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 does Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD 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 3500XD is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD 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 3500XD to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Sprinter 3500XD front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Sprinter 3500XD's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD are bad? Worn Sprinter 3500XD shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Sprinter 3500XD might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Sprinter 3500XD shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
