Read The Wear Before It's A Tire.
Uneven tire wear can be a clue that alignment, steering, suspension, inflation, or another condition needs attention. Use the wear guide below to recognize common patterns, then let measurements confirm whether alignment is actually the cause.
Feathered ribs
Toe that's out on the steer axle. The tire runs slightly sideways as it rolls, so every rib gets scrubbed across and wears to a sharp edge on one side. Run a hand across the tread: smooth one way, rough the other.
A front-end alignment that sets the toe back to spec. Catch it early and the tire keeps its life.
Four Alignments, One Straight Unit.
Alignment problems are not limited to the steer axle. The selector below shows the front-end, two-axle, three-axle, and trailer alignment options, including the measurement and correction points for each setup.
Front-End Alignment
The steer axle on its own: camber, toe and caster on the front wheels, set back to the factory numbers.
- Feathered or one-sided wear on the steer tires
- A pull to one side on a flat road
- A steering wheel that sits off center
Common after new steer tires, steering work, or a hard hit on a curb or pothole.
Measured, Set To Spec, Tracking Straight.
We start by measuring where the unit is now, compare the readings with the applicable specs, make the needed adjustments, and verify the final measurements before the truck or trailer leaves the bay.
Tell us the unit, the axle setup and what you're seeing: the pull, the wear or the crooked wheel.
Camber, toe and caster on the steer axle, and how square the rear axles sit, before anything gets touched.
A worn kingpin or bushing won't hold an alignment, so loose or bent parts get repaired first.
Every angle goes back to the factory specification, and the unit goes back to work tracking straight.
The work happens here, on the road and in the bay.

What To Know Before You Align The Truck Or Trailer.
Quick answers on alignment types, uneven tire wear, trailer tracking, worn parts, and when a commercial truck or trailer should be checked for alignment.
(502) 789-6644What does a truck alignment adjust?
A truck alignment measures and corrects wheel and axle angles so the unit tracks within the applicable specifications. Depending on the alignment type, the measurements can include steering-axle angles, axle position, and tracking relationships between axles.
What types of truck and trailer alignment do you do?
We do front-end, two-axle, three-axle, and trailer alignment. The correct alignment service depends on which axle group is out of position and whether the issue is on the truck, drive axles, or trailer.
How do I know my truck may need an alignment?
Uneven or rapid tire wear, pulling, an off-center steering wheel, or a unit that does not track straight can all point to an alignment problem. Those symptoms can also have other causes, so measuring the unit is the way to confirm whether alignment is actually the issue.
Do trailers need alignment too?
Yes. Trailer axles can need alignment when the trailer tracks off-center or shows tire wear that points to an axle-position problem. Superior Truck & Trailer includes trailer alignment among its alignment services.
Could uneven tire wear be something other than alignment?
Yes. Tire wear can also be influenced by inflation, tire condition, steering or suspension wear, and other mechanical issues. The tire-wear guide can help identify a pattern, but the truck or trailer still needs to be checked before choosing the repair.
How often should a commercial truck be aligned?
There is no single alignment mileage interval that fits every commercial truck. Alignment should be checked when the truck develops uneven tire wear or tracking symptoms, after related steering or suspension work, or according to the maintenance schedule used for that vehicle or fleet.
Can you fix worn parts found during an alignment?
Yes. Superior Truck & Trailer can handle related repair work when worn parts are found during the alignment process, based on the component and repair needed. Correcting worn components first may be necessary before the alignment can be set accurately.
