What is Wheel Alignment?

Wheel alignment most simply refers to the direction your tires and steering wheel are pointed when your car is going straight. Properly aligned wheels should appear parallel to each other when viewed from below or from the front or back.

Issues with suspension or steering parts can occasionally cause your wheels to go out of alignment, which is when you’ll need wheel alignment service for your car. Luckily, the signs of wheel alignment problems aren’t very hard to spot.

Signs Your Car Needs Wheel Alignment Service

New Mercedes-Benz vehicles offer some of the smoothest rides and most responsive steering sensations on the market. So if you notice anything deviating from this high standard of quality, you know something isn’t quite right.

For example, if you notice shaky or loud steering, something could be wrong with your electronic steering. It could also indicate that your wheels need alignment service.

Another sign your car needs alignment service is if your steering wheel tugs one way or the other or if it stays tilted while your car is going straight.

Improper wheel alignment can also cause one or more tires to wear down unevenly. So if you spot tread wear only on one side of your tires, you should visit our Van Nuys Mercedes-Benz dealership for wheel alignment service and have your tires checked.
