Wheel Alignment: Keeping You Balanced.
April 28 2021, Mercedes-Benz Vancouver
Summer is upon us, which means windows down, music pumping, and the hopes of finally taking that road trip you’ve been planning all winter. This summer, avoid any symptoms of poor wheel alignment and ensure the safety of your loved ones while experiencing the joy of cruising down the highway, worry-free.
It can be challenging to keep up with your car’s maintenance schedule and there may even be some confusion as to the “why” behind the “what.” Many people are not aware that a proper wheel alignment is a crucial aspect to road safety. In order to ensure that your vehicle is in exemplary driving condition, having your wheel alignment inspected, routinely or at the first sign of any steering issues, is crucial.

Do I need a wheel alignment?
Have you ever driven on a straight road but felt your vehicle veering left or right? Ever noticed that your tires are wearing unevenly? Is your steering wheel angling off center when you’re driving straight?
These are all signs that it’s time to have your car’s wheel alignment verified by a professional technician. Even if you have only had your car for a year, potholes and poorly patched-up asphalt are your wheels’ greatest adversaries. Sometimes, the roads less travelled are a bad idea...they are often less maintained and end up damaging your vehicle’s suspension, which directly affects the wheel alignment. Ensuring a good wheel alignment is important because it means your wheels are angled to hit the asphalt a certain way to give your vehicle the best grip for complete control when driving. Your vehicle’s suspension - the tire system, which includes the shock absorbers, springs and linkages - are all connected to the car’s wheels and when something is not working properly, it dominos into every other part of your car.
Your local Mercedes-Benz technician will verify three aspects to your car’s alignment: the inward and outward tilt of the tire, called the camber; the toe, which is the distance between the front and back tires; and lastly, the caster, which refers to the front and back steering axis.
In order to avoid misalignment issues we recommend you have your wheels aligned every 10,000 KM.
