Wheel Alignment and Tire Wear Under Commercial Loads

Uneven tire wear on a commercial van usually points to an alignment out of spec or a worn steering and suspension part. On a fleet, that quietly burns money off the edge of every tire and hurts fuel economy, so catching it early pays for itself.

Why Loaded Vans Drift Out of Alignment

Curbs, driveways, potholes, and constant heavy loads shift suspension settings over time. A van that pulls, wanders, or scrubs its front edges is telling you the geometry has moved or a tie rod or control arm bushing is worn.

• Feathered or one-sided tread wear
• A steering wheel that sits off center
• A pull or wander at freeway speed
• Vibration that changes with speed

We check the steering and suspension before aligning. Aligning a van with a worn tie rod just wears the new setting out again.
