Front-End Alignment vs. 4-Wheel Alignment

When it comes to aligning your vehicle’s wheels, there are two options available: front-end alignment and four-wheel alignment. Both services will ensure your car runs smoothly and safely on the road. Front-end alignment focuses on the suspension components in the front of the vehicle, while 4-wheel alignment looks at all four tires. The decision between a front-end or 4-wheel alignment depends mainly on your vehicle type. Keep reading this page by Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead in Peoria, AZ, to learn more! 

If you have a rear- or all-wheel drive vehicle, a 4-wheel alignment needs to be done as it adjusts both sets of wheels simultaneously, ensuring even wear and tear over time across all four tires. However, if your vehicle is only equipped with front-wheel drive, a 2 or 3-point front-end alignment should suffice in keeping your car driving straight and true over time. Because each tire wears differently depending on how they are used (i.e., cornering, braking, and more), regular alignments are essential for maximizing tire life expectancy and reducing uneven wear patterns throughout its lifespan. This can help save money by avoiding costly repairs down the road due to unnecessary tire replacements caused by misalignment issues.

How Often Do Mercedes Need Alignment? 

It is recommended to have a wheel alignment done on a Mercedes every 20,000 miles or as recommended by the vehicle's manufacturer. However, other factors can also affect the need for wheel alignment, such as hitting a pothole or curb or experiencing uneven tire wear. So, if you notice that your Mercedes is pulling to one side or if the tires appear to be wearing unevenly, it's a good idea to have the alignment checked, regardless of how many miles are on the vehicle.
