Why Is Mercedes-Benz SL600 Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Mercedes-Benz SL600’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the 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. Three good things happen as a result: your ride is smoother, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2002 Mercedes-Benz SL600, 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. 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 SL600

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Mercedes-Benz SL600 alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your 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 2002 Mercedes-Benz SL600: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your SL600 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

Mercedes-Benz SL600 wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. Over the life of your car, it could help you save on overall costs.

Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 2002 Mercedes-Benz SL600 wheel alignment estimate.
