What Can I Expect with Dodge Ram 1500 Alignment?
With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Dodge Ram 1500’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. In an alignment 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 system is aligned to the measurements that Dodge specifies for your vehicle, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. As a result, you get several benefits: your car handles better, the lifespan of your tires increases, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2001 Dodge Ram 1500, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Dodge’s recommended measurements. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.
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.

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.
