Monroe® Safety Triangle™
Understanding the Safety Triangle
Critical interconnected commercial vehicle steering, stopping and stability components. Just one worn component could effect a driver’s ability to avoid accidents, and compromise safety.
Steering
Shocks help distribute your truck’s weight over the tires, improving handling and steering during turns.
Stopping
Shocks and brakes work together to help your truck stop sooner under certain driving conditions by minimizing weight transfer.
Stability
Shocks and tires work together to help maximize tire-to-road contact, improving truck stability.
What is the Safety Triangle Inspection?
The Safety Triangle Inspection checks critical interconnected system components that control steering, stopping and stability. Going beyond tires and brakes to include shocks, torque rods, springs, tie rod ends, king pins and a host of other suspension and chassis parts, the Safety Triangle is vital to a driver’s ability to avoid accidents. Just one worn part could diminish truck control and compromise safety. For your safety, have a complete Safety Triangle Inspection every time your commercial vehicle is brought in for tire, brake or alignment service.
