Regarding Suspension

Hey all.. Past couple of weeks I have been feeling like every bump and road surface. I have 2014 C300 Sport so i know the suspension is kinda stiff compared to the luxury ride.. but i get a feeling that the stiffness has increased.

My car is still under warranty till Jan 2018 and currently has approximate 24000 miles on it.

Should i get it checked at the dealer ? Is Suspension covered under warranty ?.. I hope it is.

How exactly should I explain the problem to the dealer.. dont want the dealer to hand back the car back to me without inspection saying its just normal.

Thanks in advance.

just tell them the front sits to low (springs) and the struts keep bottoming out.
the rear are clunking over bumps.
they will replace struts springs and shocks under warranty.
this a very common problem. factory struts and shocks suck the big one. new stock struts and shocks will fail quickly also.
or go bilstein B6 struts and shocks. aftermarket and not worry no more.
but will come out your pocket.

How common of a problem is this ? Any idea on how long they last.. My car is currently at 24k Miles and still under warranty till Jan 2018.

Thanks
