Why does my 1996 Mercedes-Benz E300 steering feel different?

How Does Mercedes-Benz E300 Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Mercedes-Benz E300’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. In an alignment service, calculated changes are made to the angles of your tires. This is so that your tires hit the road at an optimal angle for your vehicle’s performance — just as Mercedes-Benz intended. When the system is aligned to Mercedes-Benz specifications, all of your tires experience equal pressure. This gives you several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1996 Mercedes-Benz E300, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Mercedes-Benz recommendations. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When Should I Get Mercedes-Benz E300 Wheel Alignment?

It's a good idea to have your Mercedes-Benz E300 alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce 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 1996 Mercedes-Benz E300: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your E300 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does an Alignment for Mercedes-Benz E300 Cost?

On a budget? Mercedes-Benz E300 wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 1996 Mercedes-Benz E300 wheel alignment estimate.
