Genuine Mercedes-Benz Suspension Parts

What Does a Suspension Do for a Mercedes-Benz Vehicle?

It supports the vehicle's weight, reduces the tendency of its body to roll, and helps keep the wheels aligned and turning properly. This is true of all suspensions that Mercedes-Benz manufactures, whether under the hoods of cars like the Mercedes-Benz S 350 or SUVs like Mercedes-Benz GLA 250. As a result, the vehicle can steer, brake, turn, and handle reliably overall. Ride quality thus remains smooth, and less stress gets put on the vehicle's many other parts.

What are the Parts of a Suspension?

The list generally includes everything from a chassis, shocks (shock absorbers), and struts (strut assemblies) to coil springs and an anti-sway bar. All Mercedes-Benz vehicles have most or all of these, from smaller cars like the Mercedes-Benz C 300 sports car to larger crossovers like the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300.

When Do You Replace a Suspension?

Most systems can last 50,000 to 80,000 miles. Their lifespans can depend on several factors, though, so, if you think yours might be going bad, it's best to look for certain symptoms.
