The present invention relates generally to a valve stem for a pneumatic tire and more specifically to a valve stem which is capable of filtering the air released from within the tire through the valve core to prevent particulate or pulverulent matter contained within the tire from entering the valve core seat assembly and the atmosphere. The present invention also prevents particulate or pulverulent matter which may be contained within a tire from being forced into the valve core over time through the use of the tire and due to routine checking of tire air pressure. The invention is suited for use with any size wheel and tire assembly including those found on automobiles, light trucks, heavy duty over-the-road trucks, and heavy duty off-road trucks.
Provided is a method for evaluating the need for alignment of a vehicle. The method comprises providing a vehicle having at least one fixed axle; obtaining a measurement of a wheelbase on a first side of a vehicle, obtaining a measurement of a wheelbase on a second side of the vehicle, comparing the measurement of a wheelbase on a first side of a vehicle with the measurement of a wheelbase on a second side of a vehicle to provide a determination regarding whether said measurements differ by more than a predetermined threshold value, and choosing among a plurality of options for subsequent steps based on said determination.
