Shocks are also known as dampers and they are the ones that are tasked to control the spring oscillation in the suspension system. Mercedes C280 shocks can either be gas-filled or oil filled. Their work is to dampen the movement of your vehicle’s spring as they compress and rebound while your vehicle is in motion.

Shocks are part of your vehicle’s suspension system. A suspension is responsible for your vehicle to efficiently and smoothly and to keep it traveling to your desired direction over rough roads.

Other components of the suspension system are coil springs, anti-sway bars, control arms, torsion bars and 4-links or trailing arms. It would be difficult to control your vehicles if you have defective shocks. Take note that the harsher the road gets, the harder it would be to control your vehicle. So shocks are indispensable components of your Mercedes C280. But like other car components, shocks too are susceptible to wearing. It is recommended that you inspect your shocks together with a wheel alignment at least once a year. You must be able to detect a worn shock before it becomes worse. Some symptoms of worn shocks include rocking back and forth, nose-driving or drifting when braking, too much bouncing, and significant wear on tires.
