Over time, even in normal driving conditions, your truck will slip out of alignment due to the constant pressure on shocks and springs, in addition to dramatic jolting impacts such as hitting curbs or potholes. This happens for an 18 wheeler just as easily as it happens for any other semi truck on the road.
Here are a few signs that your semi truck needs a wheel alignment:
Uneven or rapid tire wear
Excessive tire vibrations
Consistent squealing from tires
Your handling feels loose when driving
Your vehicle pulls to one side or another
Your steering wheel is not centered and is crooked when driving straight
Proper wheel alignment on your truck will allow your tires to last longer, improve your fuel economy, and allow for a smoother and safer ride. C and C Truck and Trailer Repair recommends truck alignments be done whenever new tires are installed and that you wait no longer than 2-3 years in between truck wheel alignments.
A semi truck is a major investment for any trucking business or an owner operator. These trucks are powerful and intricate pieces of machinery, and they power the modern American economy to an extent that might surprise many people who don’t know too much about them.
Beyond that, however, these vehicles mean a lot more to their drivers than just getting from point A to point B. They’re rolling offices and living quarters as well, and drivers spend far more time in them than just when they’re driving down the highway. For that reason, safety should take priority over everything else when it comes to maintaining a semi. Brakes are a common issue we see truck drivers dealing with, so it is always better to bring in your truck into our shop and we will fix your breaks right the way so you can be on the road again.
