How Does Mercedes-Benz S550 Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Mercedes-Benz S550’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 suspension is aligned to Mercedes-Benz’s optimal measurements, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. 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. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2009 Mercedes-Benz S550, 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 S550

It's a good idea to have your Mercedes-Benz S550 alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 2009 Mercedes-Benz S550: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your S550 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
