Proper wheel alignment is critical for the safety, performance and longevity of your Mercedes-Benz. For Mercedes-Benz owners in San Francisco and the Bay Area, knowing the warning signs of misalignment is the best way to avoid uneven tire wear, pulled steering, and other handling issues. Take note of the following key indicators that you should see us for Mercedes-Benz alignment servicing in Belmont along the 101 Freeway.

4 Warning Signs Your Mercedes-Benz Needs Alignment Service

1. Your Mercedes-Benz Pulls to One Side

One of the most common signs of improper wheel alignment is when your Mercedes-Benz drifts or pulls to the left or right as you drive down El Camino Real through San Mateo. Mercedes-Benz vehicles with properly aligned wheels track straight ahead without issue. If you find yourself constantly adjusting the steering wheel to drive straight on the 101 Freeway, it's likely time for an alignment check.

2. Uneven or Rapid Tire Wear

Misaligned wheels can cause your tires to make uneven contact with the 101 Freeway en route to Redwood City. Wheel alignment issues are noticeable with more wear on some parts of the tread than others. Inspect your tires regularly for signs of uneven or rapid wear, such as bald spots or sawtooth edges. Catching misalignment early can help your tires last longer.

3. Crooked Steering Wheel While Driving Straight

A crooked or off-center steering wheel is another red flag that your Mercedes-Benz may be out of alignment. These precisely engineered vehicles require an exactly centered steering wheel for optimal straight-line tracking. If your steering seems askew on straight stretches, an alignment is likely needed.

4. Squealing Tires

When wheels are misaligned, the tires may emit a squealing or squeaking sound as they scrub against San Francisco streets at an improper angle. Bay Area drivers should pay attention for these telltale noises, as they often signal an alignment issue that is best addressed promptly.
