How Does Dodge Ram 1500 Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Dodge Ram 1500's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. During the service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Dodge. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When your suspension is aligned to Dodge’s optimal measurements, all of your tires experience equal pressure. Three good things happen as a result: you enjoy a smoother ride, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Bring your 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. 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.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Dodge Ram 1500

It’s wise to have your Dodge Ram 1500 alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 1998 Dodge Ram 1500: pulling to the left or right, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your Ram 1500 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My Dodge Ram 1500?

Correctly aligned wheels can help boost fuel efficiency and increase the lifespan of your tires, so you can fill up less often, plus get more miles out of your tires. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 wheel alignment estimate.
