Semi Truck Alignment
The art of proper alignment minimizes tire wear, enhances handling, and optimizes fuel efficiency. Our skilled technicians wield cutting-edge equipment to ensure your rig glides smoothly and steadily. Arrange your semi-truck alignment today for a journey that is both safer and more economical!
Safety
A well-aligned semi-truck is safer to operate. Proper alignment enhances control and stability, which is vital during sharp turns or high-speed driving, thus helping to prevent accidents.
Tire Longevity
When wheels are misaligned, it can cause uneven tire wear. This not only shortens the lifespan of your tires but also heightens the risk of blowouts and expensive replacements.
Fuel Efficiency
The alignment of a semi-truck plays a crucial role in fuel efficiency. When your wheels are aligned correctly, it minimizes rolling resistance, allowing you to save on fuel costs over time.
Performance
The handling and driving experience of your semi-truck are affected by alignment. Ensuring proper alignment enables precise steering and responsiveness, which is essential for the effective operation of your truck.
About Truck Alignment
These statistics (below) highlight just how crucial proper wheel alignment is for vehicles. Misalignment not only affects the handling and safety of the vehicle but also has significant financial implications due to increased fuel consumption and premature wear on tires. The potential savings in fuel and tire costs from maintaining proper alignment can make a substantial impact on vehicle maintenance expenses in the long run.

FAQ
How much does a truck alignment cost?
The cost of a truck alignment varies depending on the necessary adjustments. A basic alignment includes a full inspection of the steering and suspension system, checking components like shackle pins, bushings, kingpins, tie rod ends, drag link ends, and tire pressures. If the vehicle is in good mechanical condition, a wheel alignment will be performed, including checks on axle setback, caster angle, camber angle, and toe-in. If major issues are found, a detailed cost estimate for repairs will be provided before any work is done.
Why is the axle removed for camber correction?
Modern trucks carry heavier loads than in the past, requiring larger axles. Industry standards dictate that camber correction must occur outside the spring seat to maintain proper alignment and prevent issues like premature shackle pin and bush wear or vehicle leaning. In some cases, such as with air suspension systems, in-vehicle axle correction isn’t feasible, making axle removal necessary for proper adjustment.
Why is a full drive alignment performed on all trucks?
Modern trucks carry heavier loads than in the past, requiring larger axles. Industry standards dictate that camber correction must occur outside the spring seat to maintain proper alignment and prevent issues like premature shackle pin and bush wear or vehicle leaning. In some cases, such as with air suspension systems, in-vehicle axle correction isn’t feasible, making axle removal necessary for proper adjustment.
Why might kingpins need replacement after a vehicle inspection?
Regulatory inspections focus on safety standards, ensuring the truck is roadworthy. However, precision alignment requires much stricter tolerances. Even small amounts of movement in kingpins, tie rod ends, or shackle pins can make an alignment ineffective. To maximize tire lifespan and minimize operating costs, all suspension components must meet zero-tolerance standards.
What type of warranty is provided?
A standard truck alignment is typically guaranteed for 3 months or 30,000 km. If axles are re-cambered, they are covered for the life of the truck under normal operating conditions. Any necessary adjustments can be handled at affiliated service locations, minimizing downtime for customers.
How long does a truck alignment take?
Turnaround time depends on the level of service needed. A basic front steer and drive alignment can take as little as 90 minutes, while a full suspension rebuild may take up to 2-3 days. Efforts are always made to accommodate scheduling needs.
Are shock absorbers important?
Absolutely! Shock absorbers (dampers) reduce spring oscillations, improving ride control, comfort, and suspension longevity. As part of every truck alignment, shock absorbers are inspected to ensure proper function and performance.
How often should truck wheels be aligned?
Alignment frequency depends on usage and load conditions. Many fleet managers schedule alignments at least once a year as part of their maintenance routine. Regular alignments help correct minor misalignments before they cause major tire wear issues. It’s also recommended to perform an alignment whenever new tires are installed to maximize their lifespan and efficiency.
