ALIGN DIRECTION

Steering alignment on your truck is necessary to ensure safe driving. Poor steering alignment directly influences vehicle response and fuel consumption. A well-aligned heavy vehicle reduces fuel consumption by up to 5% and suffers less tire wear. In addition, it guarantees the stability of the vehicle's direction, reducing its accident rate. The alignment of the direction of industrial vehicles is a safety and maintenance measure that you should always carry out in a professional workshop. With the alignment, the suspension elements are also checked to guarantee that all the wheels rest correctly on the ground, thus avoiding unnecessary wear.

You should align the steering when you notice any of the following signs while driving:

• When traveling in a straight line and the steering wheel is not centered, feeling a slight force to the left or right.
• When taking a curve and returning to a straight line it is perceived that the wheels are not aligned.
• When rigidity is perceived in the direction.
• When the tires show some type of asymmetrical wear.


The alignment can be affected by external reasons caused by driving, such as accidents, collisions, the presence of potholes in the road or sudden blows against objects or curbs.
The benefits of keeping the axes aligned are obvious. The professionals of the sector know that the steering alignment of your truck is advisable, necessary and profitable.
And in summary we can specify that a good alignment contributes to improving and reducing tire wear, increases the mileage performance of our vehicle as well as representing a considerable decrease in fuel consumption.
