Various trials conducted at M.I.R.A. and with Steertrak customers, have allowed us build predictive models of the impact of wheel alignment on Fuel economy and Tyre wear. See diagrams opposite.In practice more than one wheel or axle is often misaligned, and this can be combined with a misaligned trailer or incorrect steering box timing.By adopting preventative wheel alignment, fuel economy improvements of between 3 and 18%, and improvements in average tyre life of up to 20% have been reported by Steertrak customers.
