Heavy duty truck alignment refers to the process of adjusting the angles of the wheels on a commercial truck to ensure they are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground. This helps to ensure proper handling, reduce tire wear, and improve fuel efficiency.
Commercial trucks should typically get aligned every 6 months or 25,000 to 30,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, it is also recommended to get an alignment whenever you hit a curb, pothole, or are experiencing issues with steering or handling.
Some signs that a commercial truck may need an alignment include uneven tire wear, steering wheel vibration, drifting to one side while driving, or a crooked steering wheel when driving straight. If you notice any of these signs, it is recommended to get an alignment as soon as possible.
The duration of a commercial truck alignment can vary depending on the extent of the misalignment and any additional adjustments that may be needed. On average, a commercial truck alignment typically takes around 1 to 2 hours.
Some benefits of getting a commercial truck aligned include improved handling and steering, increased fuel efficiency, reduced tire wear, and a smoother ride. Proper alignment can also help prevent more costly repairs down the road.
