Alignment is the single cheapest way to protect the most expensive consumable on your truck. A tractor that is out of spec will scrub rubber off a set of steers in a fraction of their rated life, pull to one side on the highway, and burn extra fuel every mile it runs. If your driver is fighting the wheel or you are replacing tires far ahead of schedule, the truck needs an alignment before it needs another set of tires.
Signs Your Truck Needs an Alignment
- Feathered or cupped tire wear on the steer or drive tires
- Steering pull to the left or right on a flat, straight road
- Off-center steering wheel when the truck is tracking straight
- Trailer dog tracking — the trailer riding offset behind the tractor
- Alignment has not been checked since the last tire change or suspension repair
- After a curb strike, pothole hit or accident repair
What a Full Alignment Covers
A steer-axle-only alignment only solves part of the problem. We measure and correct the complete geometry: steer axle caster, camber and toe; drive axle thrust angle and squareness to the frame; and trailer tandem alignment. Worn front end components are inspected first, because you cannot hold an alignment on loose king pins or shot tie rod ends.
Alignment for Every Class of Commercial Vehicle
- Semi trucks, 18 wheelers and day cabs
- Sleeper tractors and glider kits
- Dry vans, reefers, flatbeds and dump trailers
- Box trucks, straight trucks and 26' rentals
- Buses, motorcoaches and RVs
We are located at Exit 87 on I-30 in Caddo Mills, TX — an easy pull-off for trucks running between Dallas and Greenville, with room to get a full tractor-trailer on the rack.
