Recent studies has shown that road traffic pollute the environment not only by generating exhaust gas emissions but also by the suspensions produced from tyre wear. Due to their composition (natural rubber, synthetic rubber and other chemicals), vehicles tyres through the interaction with the driveway pollute the environment. This process can be accelerated in a negative manner by the appearance of some technical malfunctions of the steering system. Thus, by a quick and efficient diagnosis of the steering system even during the vehicle operation can have a positive impact on the environment. The aim of this paper is to analyse the possibility of detecting the occurrence of wear in the spherical joints of the steering system, while the vehicle is running. The main methodological component of this research is a system composed by a DA20-RION 4-channels data recorder, a CAT 78 WR - Version 4.018 data processing software and a 3-axis piezoelectric accelerometer (Bruel & Kj?r-type 4321). The resulted data show that in the bar end spherical joint occurs shocks due to wear. These mechanical events that can be perceived as ?beats? or ?steering wheel shocks? produce a misalignment of the steering system. In addition, the resulted data show that an efficient detection of this problem reduces the accelerated tyre wear and, by default, reduces micro plastics pollution.
