What Can I Expect with Dodge Ram 1500 Alignment?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Dodge Ram 1500’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. When your car has an alignment service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Dodge intended them to. When the system is aligned to Dodge specifications, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Bring your 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Dodge. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

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

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 could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2002 Dodge Ram 1500: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Ram 1500 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
