Mercedes-Benz cars have adjustable alignment at the front and, on most models, at the rear too, so a proper four-wheel alignment matters. Hitting kerbs, potholes or speed bumps, fitting new tyres, or replacing suspension and steering parts can all knock the settings out. Cars with Airmatic air suspension must be set at the correct ride height before measuring, and on cars with driver assistance systems the steering angle sensor may need resetting afterwards. At Orange Auto in Al Quoz and Nad Al Hamar we measure, adjust and print the before and after readings for you.
We ask what you have noticed and drive the car to feel for pulling, an off-centre wheel or vibration.
Worn bushes, ball joints or tie rod ends stop an alignment holding, so we check them and the tyre pressures first.
The car is set at its normal ride height, including Airmatic models, so the readings are accurate.
We measure toe, camber and caster on all four wheels and compare them with Mercedes-Benz specifications for your model.
Rear settings are adjusted first, then the front, with the steering wheel held straight.
Where needed, we reset the steering angle sensor so stability control and driver assistance systems read correctly.
We road test the car and give you the before and after readings.
If we find worn suspension or steering parts, we show you and quote before going further. See Mercedes brakes and suspension repair and Mercedes steering repair.
After new tyres, after suspension or steering work, after a hard kerb or pothole hit, or if the car pulls or the wheel sits crooked.
Wear on the inner edge often means too much toe or camber. Catching it early saves an expensive set of tyres.
Alignment sets the wheel angles. Balancing removes vibration from the wheel and tyre. Vibration at speed is usually balance, pulling is usually alignment.
Align when you fit new tyres to protect them. See Mercedes tyre replacement.
How long does an alignment take?Usually about an hour, longer if seized adjusters or worn parts need attention.
Do I need a four-wheel alignment?Most Mercedes models have rear adjustment, so a four-wheel alignment is the right choice.
Why is my steering wheel crooked after new tyres?The alignment was likely already out, or the car was hit on a kerb. An alignment corrects it.
