Importance of Alignment
Poor wheel alignment increases tire heat & scrub which makes your engine work harder, Therefore, Your fuel and tire expenses increase dramatically!
Why?
- Increased Tire Life For every 1mm (3/64 inch) of misalignment an average truck is dragged 5ft sideways per mile in a forward direction; this can dramatically increases heat in the tire & decreases the tire life up to 300% in severe cases, which makes a laser alignment from Mobalign a huge saving and a necessary part of your maintenance schedule.
- Improved Fuel Economy If tires are being dragged sideways due to misalignment, the increased load on your engine will dramatically effect your fuel consumption; many independent studies have proved that it is possible to save as much as 11% of fuel consumption by correct wheel & frame alignment.
- Driver Comfort A correctly aligned vehicle will run true, the driver will not have to constantly correct the steering to keep driving straight, and this will reduce driver fatigue and lower the risk of shoulder, neck and back problems.
- Reduced Carbon Foot Print The carbon foot print is constantly being discussed around the world, with the increased pressure to reduce CO2 emissions and greenhouse gases. A properly aligned Truck and trailer will reduce fuel consumption and in turn have an immediate impact on in reducing the carbon foot print.
For the above reasons more and more fleet and owner operators make a Mobalign laser alignment a key part of their ongoing maintenance programs.
By investing in a Mobalign alignment program we estimate your combined savings in fuel and tires could be hundreds if not thousands of dollars per year per truck!
