The front shock absorbers (or "front shockers") in a Mercedes-Benz are an essential part of the suspension system. They help absorb bumps and road irregularities, providing a smooth and comfortable ride by controlling the movement of the front suspension. Here’s a quick overview: Function Front shock absorbers work by converting the kinetic energy from road impacts into heat, which dissipates, helping to stabilize the vehicle and reduce excess bouncing. They play a significant role in vehicle handling, braking performance, and ride comfort. Symptoms of Worn Front Shock Absorbers If the front shock absorbers on your Mercedes-Benz are worn or failing, you may notice: Increased body roll when turning or changing lanes Excessive bouncing after hitting a bump or pothole Fluid leaks around the shock absorber area
