How Does Mercedes-Benz GLS550 Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Mercedes-Benz GLS550’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 there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. When you bring in your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS550, we’ll perform an alignment check first. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Mercedes-Benz’s recommended measurements. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When to Get Mercedes-Benz GLS550 Wheel Alignment

It's a good idea to have your Mercedes-Benz GLS550 alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS550: pulling to the left or right, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or squealing tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your GLS550 if your wheel alignment needs attention.

How Much Does an Alignment for Mercedes-Benz GLS550 Cost?

Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas.
