Symptoms of Truck and Trailer Misalignment

There are a variety of symptoms to look out for with respect to truck and trailer misalignment. The first and most common symptom is a truck that pulls to one side when you let go of the steering wheel. This means one of your wheels isn’t pointing in the same direction as the other, which for all intents and purposes, is referred to as your truck’s toe angle. Other symptoms include a decrease in fuel efficiency, maneuvering difficulties, and poor handling. You may also notice that some of your suspension components, examples being your bushings and tie rods, may wear out prematurely due to the heightened stress of misalignment. 

Benefits of Truck and Trailer Alignment

There are a variety of benefits with respect to keeping your truck and trailer aligned. First of all, your truck will handle significantly better. Your ride quality will be smoother, your handling will be enhanced, you’ll have heightened maneuverability, and your fuel economy will almost certainly benefit. A major bonus when it comes to truck and trailer alignment is the preservation of important suspension and steering components. When a truck and trailer are misaligned, your components are put under a level of stress they weren’t designed to handle. This makes them wear out faster.
