How Does Dodge Ram 1500 Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Dodge Ram 1500's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. In an alignment service, calculated changes are made to the angles of your tires. This is so that your tires hit the road at an optimal angle for your vehicle’s performance — just as Dodge intended. When your suspension is aligned to Dodge’s optimal measurements, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: your car handles better, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and your suspension system experiences less strain. When you bring in your 1996 Dodge Ram 1500, we’ll perform an alignment check first. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Dodge’s recommended measurements. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get Dodge Ram 1500 Wheel Alignment

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Dodge Ram 1500 alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 1996 Dodge Ram 1500: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Ram 1500 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
