Why Is Mercedes-Benz S420 Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Mercedes-Benz S420’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. During the service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Mercedes-Benz intended them to. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Mercedes-Benz specifies for your vehicle, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. Three good things happen as a result: your car handles better, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1997 Mercedes-Benz S420, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Mercedes-Benz. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When to Get Mercedes-Benz S420 Wheel Alignment

It's a good idea to have your Mercedes-Benz S420 alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 1997 Mercedes-Benz S420: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your S420 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My Mercedes-Benz S420?

Let’s talk numbers: Mercedes-Benz S420 wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, so you can fill up less often, plus get more miles out of your tires. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs.
