Buses out of alignment waste fuel, wear tyres faster, and increase costs and downtime no matter how you handle alignment.
Misaligned buses can use 2.5% more fuel, increasing your running costs across the fleet.
Poor bus alignment can reduce tyre life by up to 15% pushing up maintenance costs.
Inefficient alignment methods can drive up external costs or reduce technician productivity.

FAQS
Take a look at our FAQs below, if you can't find the answer you're looking for, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us. You can reach us by email at info@aesuk.com or give us a call at 01904 460 581.
How do I know if a bus is out of alignment?
Look for uneven tyre wear, steering drift, poor stability or higher-than-normal fuel use.
Can I get a demo of the kit before I buy it?
Yes, we offer a free onsite demonstration a time that is convenient for you. Alternatively you can visit our purpose built training centre.
Do you offer spares and service support for alignment systems?
Yes, we stock all Josam alignment spares in the UK and offer fast delivery for parts like targets, sensors, clamps, and calibration equipment. We also provide annual servicing, system calibration, and technical support for all Josam alignment kits, including legacy equipment.
Can you align buses with independent front suspension or tag axles?
Yes, misalignment increases rolling resistance, which causes the vehicle to work harder and consume more fuel. Proper alignment can reduce fuel consumption by up to 2.5%, which adds up quickly for operators managing multiple vehicles or long daily routes.
Does proper alignment improve fuel efficiency for buses?
Yes, misalignment increases rolling resistance, which causes the vehicle to work harder and consume more fuel. Proper alignment can reduce fuel consumption by up to 2.5%, which adds up quickly for operators managing multiple vehicles or long daily routes.
How does alignment improve tyre life on buses?
When a bus is correctly aligned, all wheels are set to the optimal angles according to manufacturer specifications. This ensures even tyre wear across all axles and avoids issues such as shoulder wear, feathering, or cupping. Over time, alignment can extend tyre life by up to 15%, saving significant money on tyre replacements across a fleet.
What makes Josam systems suitable for bus alignment?
Josam systems are ideal for bus alignment because they provide fast, accurate, and repeatable measurements. They offer advanced features such as chassis centreline referencing and automatic run-out compensation, which ensures precise results even in fleet workshops or busy depots. Their equipment is also approved by multiple OEMs and trusted by public and private transport operators worldwide.
How long does a wheel alignment take on a bus?
The time required depends on the system used and the number of axles on the vehicle. With a Josam I-Track or camera-based alignment system, full measurements can be taken in as little as 4 minutes. However, the overall time to complete adjustments will vary depending on what needs to be corrected and how accessible the adjustment points are.
How often should a bus have its wheel alignment checked?
Bus wheel alignment should be checked at least once per year, or sooner if new tyres have been fitted, steering or suspension parts have been replaced, or if the vehicle has been involved in a minor collision. It’s also worth checking alignment if the driver reports the vehicle pulling to one side, a vibration in the steering wheel, or rapid or uneven tyre wear.
Why is wheel alignment important for buses?
Correct wheel alignment is critical for buses because it directly affects tyre wear, fuel consumption, passenger comfort, and vehicle safety. Buses often operate on tight schedules and varied routes, which puts constant stress on suspension and steering components. Misalignment can lead to premature tyre wear, handling issues, and increased operating costs
