What is Proper Wheel Alignment?
A properly aligned vehicle is one in which all wheels are aimed in the same direction. Some very low tolerance or acceptable error is designed into each vehicle by the manufacturer (see the vehicle manufacturer specifications).

How Can Wheel Alignment Benefit Your Operation?
The number one and number two operating expenses in over-the-road transportation are fuel and tires respectively. Both are typically perceived as hard to control. Routine wheel alignment is the most effective way to control tire costs and can impact fuel costs as well.

Problems created by misalignment:
• Excessive tire wear
• Increased fuel consumption caused by increased rolling resistance
• Unsafe vehicle handling characteristics
• Driver fatigue and driver retention
• Premature suspension component wear

How often should an alignment be performed on my vehicle?
We recommend to check the vehicle at least twice per year. Every 5,000 to 6,000 for passenger cars and light trucks. Every 50,000 to 60,000 for Semi-tractors/Buses.

How often should I rotate the tires on my vehicle?

What is the "Death Wobble" and how can it be corrected?
The "Death Wobble" is when there is a loss of suspension/steering control which causes a violent osscilation, or shaking, in the front. This usually occurs after hitting a bump at speeds over 45 MPH. The only way to regain control of the vehicle is by slowing the vehicle down until the shaking stops. Sometimes you may have to come to almost a complete stop. This mainly occurs in vehicles that have been lifted and recently an issue with the 2005-2009 Ford Pick-up trucks. The cause for this, especially with the Ford trucks, is due to worn suspension parts. Here is a video on youtube showing what happens to the vehicle on the outside and inside. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EuQ6f8rgT4
