Trailer alignment is one of our areas of expertise, so we can make sure your unit is properly aligned.
When you’re pulling a trailer, you must follow certain safety protocols to ensure the proper operation of the unit behind your vehicle. Proper wheel and axle alignment is critical in maintaining the condition of the tires and the safe operation of the trailer, although it’s something that many trailer owners overlook. Some of the warning signs of misalignment include uneven wear on the tires and vibrations coming from the trailer when it’s being towed. It’s not easy to know when alignment issues are caused by misalignment with the trailer’s wheels and axles or by the truck that is towing the trailer, but our team at Mid Carolina Diesel can help determine the problem and perform a repair.
If you’re familiar with the sensations that can occur when axles and wheels are out of alignment, you might immediately assume that the vehicle you’re driving is to blame when those sensations occur. However, the trailer your truck is towing could also be causing the issue. Trailer alignment is one of our areas of expertise, so we can make sure your unit is properly aligned. We work with customers located throughout the Mocksville, North Carolina area to provide a range of trailer services, including professional trailer alignment.

Why is proper trailer alignment so important?
Proper alignment helps ensure safe towing and handling, improves tire lifespan by preventing uneven wear and tear, and can even boost fuel efficiency. Misalignment can cause problems like poor handling and excessive wear on the suspension, which leave your vehicle more prone to needing repairs and may even increase the risk of accidents.
How long does trailer alignment typically take?
The timeline for this service can vary, but it usually takes a few hours. We prioritize quick turnarounds as much as possible without sacrificing the quality of our work, and we do our best to communicate timelines with you.
How often should trailer alignment be checked?
A good general rule to follow is to have the alignment checked annually or every 50,000 miles. However, you may want more frequent checks if you drive in hazardous conditions or haul heavy loads.
What causes trailer alignment issues?
There are several factors that can cause issues with your trailer alignment, including:
- Hitting curbs, potholes, or other road hazards.
- Carrying unevenly distributed loads or overhauling the trailer.
- Normal wear and tear on the suspension and steering systems.
- Damaged suspension systems.
