Why Is Mercedes-Benz S550 Alignment Important?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Mercedes-Benz S550's suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. 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 the system is aligned to Mercedes-Benz specifications, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. As a result, you get several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. When you bring in your 2011 Mercedes-Benz S550, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Mercedes-Benz. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When to Get Mercedes-Benz S550 Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Mercedes-Benz S550 alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your 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 2011 Mercedes-Benz S550: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your S550 if your wheel alignment needs attention.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My Mercedes-Benz S550?
