Wheel alignment is one of the essential types of services that keeps your Mercedes-Benz car running at its best. Not only does it ensure optimum driving dynamics, but it also helps your tires perform properly and help them last longer.
Here in our Mercedes-Benz service center, it’s one of the most common types of service that our mechanics provide. Here is how to know when your car needs a wheel alignment, as well as why it is necessary.
Signs That You Need a Wheel Alignment
The first method you can use to find out if your Mercedes-Benz car needs a wheel alignment is to check its owner manual. It should outline the recommended service intervals for a variety of types of services, including wheel alignments.
A second method of finding out that your car needs a wheel alignment is if you’re noticing any of the following signs:
- Uneven tread wear
- Vehicle pulling to the left or right
- Your steering wheel is off center when driving straight
- Steering wheel vibration
Whether or not you’re noticing any of these signs, our mechanics will check to make sure that your car’s wheels are aligned when you bring it in for a service appointment.
Why Wheel Alignment Matters
Improper wheel alignment can cause your tires to wear unevenly and prematurely. Here are three types of tread wear that can occur due to misalignment.
- Feathering
- Camber wear
- Heel/toe wear
When your wheels are misaligned, you also run the risk of erratic driving, loss of control, and poor handling. If you're due for a wheel alignment, or if you're experiencing one of the above symptoms, schedule your wheel alignment appointment today at Mercedes-Benz of Annapolis!
