How Does Mercedes-Benz SL550 Alignment Work?
An alignment involves making adjustments to your Mercedes-Benz SL550's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. 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 your system is aligned to the measurements that Mercedes-Benz specifies for your vehicle, all of your tires experience equal pressure. As a result, you get several benefits: your ride is smoother, 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 SL550, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Mercedes-Benz’s recommended measurements. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.
When Should I Get Mercedes-Benz SL550 Wheel Alignment?
It's a good idea to have your Mercedes-Benz SL550 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 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL550: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or squealing tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your SL550 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
