I took my 96 SL500 in to my local Mercedes shop(not the dealer) to have the car aligned. He told me that because my car was 14 years old, I really should replace the tie rods and bushing in the Idler arm. He said there was a little play and I would be wasting my money doing the alignment.

Frankly, the car tracks straight andI cannot feel any major play in the steering wheel.

Does what he says about my wasting my money on the alignment on a 14 year old car without doing what he says??

Thanks
