Steer axle
Toe and camber settings can change how a steer tire contacts the road.
Semi truck and tractor alignment
If your truck pulls or wears out steer tires unevenly, call with your make, model and axle setup. Ask which axles can be checked on our Hunter equipment.
Three axles, one direction
Steer and drive axle angles can both affect how a tandem tractor tracks. The unit and its condition determine which checks apply.
Drive axles
When the drives point off-line, the driver may have to correct at the steering wheel to hold a straight course.
Front-end condition
Steering and suspension play can affect the readings. Flag any recent front-end work or clunks.
Semi truck alignment questions
Why check the drive axles as well as the steer axle?
On a tandem tractor, the direction of the drive axles affects how the truck tracks. Ask which measurements apply to your unit when you book.
Should I check alignment after fitting new steer tires?
If the old tires wore unevenly or the truck pulls, ask for an alignment check. Share any recent steering or suspension work with the shop.
