A well-aligned truck is essential for optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and safety. However, over time, various factors such as potholes, curb impacts, and uneven road surfaces can cause your truck’s wheels to become misaligned. If you notice any of the following signs, it’s time to schedule a wheel alignment at Trueline Truck Repair Centre & Wheel Aligners.
Common Signs of Misaligned Wheels:
- Uneven Tyre Wear:
- Feathering: This occurs when the edges of the tire tread wear down prematurely, often caused by toe-in or toe-out misalignment.
- Cupping: This is characterised by uneven wear on the inner or outer edges of the tyre, typically resulting from camber misalignment.
- Bald Spots: Bald spots on the tyres, especially in the centre or on the shoulders, can indicate a severe alignment issue.
- Vehicle Pulling to One Side:
- If your truck consistently pulls to the left or right, it’s a clear sign that your wheels are misaligned. This can make steering difficult and increase the risk of accidents.
- Vibrations and Shaking:
- Excessive vibration or shaking, particularly at higher speeds, can be caused by misaligned wheels. This can lead to discomfort for the driver and damage to the vehicle’s components.
- Poor Steering Response:
- A sluggish or unresponsive steering wheel can be a symptom of misaligned wheels. This can make it harder to manoeuvre your truck, especially in tight spaces.
- Increased Fuel Consumption:
- Misaligned wheels can negatively impact your truck’s fuel efficiency. When your wheels are not properly aligned, your engine has to work harder to maintain forward motion, resulting in higher fuel consumption.
