Why Is Mercedes-Benz 420SEL Alignment Important?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Mercedes-Benz 420SEL's suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. During the service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Mercedes-Benz. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Mercedes-Benz specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: you enjoy a smoother ride, the lifespan of your tires increases, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Mercedes-Benz recommendations. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Mercedes-Benz 420SEL

It’s wise to have your Mercedes-Benz 420SEL alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your 420SEL dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
