Adjustability
Front Axle:
- Caster: Factory adjustable via eccentric bushings at the front axle.
- Toe: Factory adjustable via the tie rod ends.
- Camber: Not factory adjustable. Correction often requires aftermarket cam bolts or offset axle components.
Rear Axles:
- Toe and Camber: Not factory adjustable. Adjustments typically require specialized procedures such as axle shimming or bending, which should only be performed by experienced heavy-duty truck technicians.
Recommended adjustment hardware
For front camber adjustments, mechanics often use aftermarket cam bolt kits from manufacturers like SPC or Meritor. These kits replace the stock non-adjustable bolts, providing a range of camber adjustment to bring the alignment back into specification, especially on trucks with suspension wear or damage.
Symptoms of bad alignment
- Feathered tire wear: This pattern, where the tire tread blocks are worn into a high-low, ramp-like pattern, is a classic sign of a toe issue.
- One-sided shoulder wear: If the inside or outside shoulder of the tire is wearing down significantly faster than the rest of the tread, it's a strong indicator of a camber problem. Negative camber wears the inside shoulder, while positive camber wears the outside.
- Steering wheel pull: A constant pull to one side is often a symptom of a caster or camber issue.
- Off-center steering wheel: If the steering wheel isn't straight when the truck is driving straight, it's a sign that the toe adjustment is off.
When to align
A wheel alignment should be performed:
- After installing new tires.
- After any suspension or steering component is replaced (e.g., tie rods, kingpins, bushings).
- After a significant impact with a curb, pothole, or other road hazard.
- Whenever you notice irregular tire wear or a change in steering feel.
Typical alignment cost
The cost for a heavy-duty truck alignment can vary widely depending on the shop and location, but you can typically expect to pay between $250 and $500 for a three-axle alignment. The price may be higher if adjustment hardware needs to be installed.
