Why Is Mercedes-Benz SLK230 Alignment Important?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Mercedes-Benz SLK230's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. During the 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 the system is aligned to Mercedes-Benz specifications, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. Three good things happen as a result: your car handles better, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2002 Mercedes-Benz SLK230, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. 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 Should I 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 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 2002 Mercedes-Benz SLK230: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or squealing tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your SLK230 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
