Mercedes Sprinter Alignment FAQ: How To Keep Commercial Vans In Shape

Mercedes Sprinter Alignment FAQ: How To Keep Commercial Vans In Shape

Mercedes Sprinter alignment services are essential for commercial fleet performance, longevity, and cost-control, and Automotion makes it easy to keep your vehicles in shape.

Read on to learn the answers to some common Mercedes Sprinter alignment questions, or call (775) 284-9444 to schedule a free consultation today.

“What Is Involved In A Mercedes Sprinter Alignment Service?”

During a Mercedes Sprinter alignment service, our team makes careful adjustments to your suspension to optimize your tires’ contact patch and ensure they carry the equal loads at the correct angle.

Most Mercedes Sprinter services will involve:

  • A thorough inspection of your vehicle
  • Measurements of caster, toe, and camber using state-of-the-art equipment
  • Adjustments to meet manufacturer’s specifications or the client’s custom spec request
  • Tire inflation

When aligned to Mercedes-Benz specifications, you can expect your Sprinter to give you a smoother ride, increased responsiveness, and better fuel efficiency. You will keep your tire treads in-shape for longer and maintain your warranty coverage, and your suspension system will experience much less wear-and-tear, too.

“When Should I Book A Mercedes Sprinter Alignment Service?”

Most manufacturers recommend booking a Mercedes Sprinter alignment check every 6,000 miles or so, especially for commercial fleet vehicles, but you should always watch out for the signs of misalignment, which include:

  • Uneven or rapid tire wear
  • Having to hold the steering wheel “crooked” to drive straight
  • Noisy steering
  • Pulling to the left or right
  • Squealing tires
  • Poor fuel efficiency

If you notice any of these symptoms, it is time to book a Mercedes Sprinter alignment inspection.

Additionally, many Mercedes Sprinter models come equipped with the Active Service System (ASSYST). This maintenance computer tracks distance driven and the time elapsed since your last service, then displays a message approximately one month before the maintenance service is due. You should always heed these warnings, but try not to rely on them, as not all systems are the same, and some will not track your alignment requirements.

Finally, we recommend booking a Mercedes Sprinter alignment (or at least an inspection) after any collisions, serious encounters with road hazards (e.g. huge potholes that jostle the suspension system), or tire changeovers/replacements.

“How Much Will A Mercedes Sprinter Alignment Cost?”

Most shops charge $200-300 for a Mercedes Sprinter alignment service, although the price will vary depending on:

  • The extent of the Mercedes Sprinter alignment service (e.g. minor alignments to factory recommended specs versus extensive custom alignments)
  • Whether any replacement parts are needed
  • The age of your vehicle
  • What special tools or kits are required
