A system includes a computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the computer to determine a recursive standard deviation and a recursive mean offset of a plurality of steering component angles and to identify a wheel misalignment fault upon determining that the recursive standard deviation is below a deviation threshold and the recursive mean offset is above an offset threshold.

Wheel diagnostic

A suspension stabilization system may include a stabilizer bar having an end configured to connect to a suspension component of a vehicle, and a torsion shaft with an end connected to the stabilizer bar. A locking mechanism may be configured to rotationally couple and decouple at least a portion of the torsion shaft with a portion of a frame of the vehicle. Methods relate to stabilizing a vehicle suspension.

Suspension stabilization system and related methods

An assembly is provided comprising a twin I-beam front suspension system and a parallelogram steering linkage operatively coupled to the suspension system. A vehicle incorporating the assembly is also disclosed.

Symmetric steer linkage

An alignment tool for a steering wheel, where the steering wheel is mounted on a steering column and the tool is configured to attach to the steering wheel. The tool includes a wheel orientation mechanism including a first tilt sensor, reporting a clockwise angle of the steering wheel, and a tilt monitoring mechanism that includes a second tilt sensor to report a tilt angle of the steering column.
