How Does Mercedes-Benz SL550 Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Mercedes-Benz SL550's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. 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 the system is aligned to Mercedes-Benz specifications, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. This gives you several benefits: your ride is smoother, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Bring your 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL550 in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. 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.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Mercedes-Benz SL550

It’s wise to have your Mercedes-Benz SL550 alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease 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 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL550: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, excessive wear on only one tire, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your SL550 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
