Commercial truck alignment refers to the adjustment of the angles of the wheels on a commercial truck to ensure they are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground, resulting in optimal handling, tire wear, and fuel efficiency.
It is recommended to have your commercial truck aligned every 6 months or every 25,000 to 30,000 miles to prevent uneven tire wear, improve fuel efficiency, and ensure proper handling.
Some signs that your commercial truck may need an alignment include uneven tire wear, the vehicle pulling to one side, steering wheel vibration, or a crooked steering wheel when driving straight.
Commercial truck alignment typically takes about 1 to 2 hours to complete, depending on the specific requirements of the vehicle.
Driving a commercial truck that is out of alignment can lead to uneven tire wear, decreased fuel efficiency, and potentially dangerous handling issues. It is best to have your truck aligned as soon as possible if you notice any alignment issues.
The cost of commercial truck alignment can vary depending on the specific make and model of the vehicle, as well as the location and alignment shop. On average, commercial truck alignment can range from $100 to $200.
