What Can I Expect with Mercedes-Benz SLK230 Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Mercedes-Benz SLK230's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. In an alignment 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 your system is aligned to the measurements that Mercedes-Benz specifies for your vehicle, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK230, 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.

When to Get Mercedes-Benz SLK230 Wheel Alignment

It's a good idea to have your Mercedes-Benz SLK230 alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. 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 1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK230: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your SLK230 if your wheel alignment needs attention.
