Best Truck Repairs in Columbus, OH

We recommend that alignments be done every 3-6 months, depending on the road conditions. Unfortunately, not all roads are the same, and many roads are in poor condition. A single pothole has the potential to change the alignment of a truck. Regular alignments are vital to tire longevity. The rear axles do not need to be aligned as often as the steer, but you do want to have it checked periodically. The number one cause of wearing out the steer tires is the adjustment of the toe. The second most significant reason steer tires wear out is if one of the rear axles is out of alignment.

An alignment can take anywhere from 2-4 hours. Any time we bring in a vehicle for an alignment, we do a thorough suspension inspection. We check springs, shackles, hangers, kingpins, tie rod ends, bushings, etc. We ensure that everything in the suspension is in good condition before hanging our Beeline Laser Alignment equipment on the unit. Once we hook our machine up to the truck, we can make any adjustments necessary to the alignment.

No, an alignment will not cause your truck to shake. When an alignment is incorrect, it may cause your truck to slightly pull in one direction or wear out your tires over time. A truck that vibrates at certain speeds is most likely a broken belt in a tire. It could also be an out of round tire.
