Signs of a Misalignment
80% of trucks on the road have a front wheel misalignment and 70% have a rear wheel misalignment.
Cupping
A possible result of moderate to severe assembly out of balance condition, cupping appears as localized patches that look scalloped.
Feathering
When tread ribs are worn so that one side is higher, this is called feathering. There could be multiple causes including front and/or rear defective suspension or steering components.
One-sided wear
Also known as shouldering, one-sided wear extends across the entire shoulder rib to a major tread groove. This condition is often caused from a rear axle misalignment.
