We start with the simple checks, like tyres and pressures, then move through alignment, steering, suspension and brakes. Each step rules something in or out, so we fix the real problem instead of throwing parts at it.

A deeper dive
A truck that pulls to one side or wanders on the highway is exhausting to drive and hard on tyres. The cause could be alignment, steering, suspension or tyres — and guessing gets expensive fast.
At Big Wheels, we don’t guess. We work through the system in order, measure what’s actually happening, and tell you exactly what’s causing the pull and what it takes to fix it.
The result: one clear diagnosis, no wasted parts, and a truck that tracks straight again.
What causes a truck to pull?
Common culprits include uneven tyre pressure or wear, out-of-spec alignment angles, worn steering or suspension components, and dragging brakes. Often it’s more than one issue at once.
