How Does Dodge W150 Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Dodge W150’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. 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 system is aligned to the measurements that Dodge specifies for your vehicle, all of your tires experience equal pressure. As a result, you get several benefits: your car handles better, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. When you bring in your 1988 Dodge W150, we’ll perform an alignment check first. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Dodge recommendations. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Dodge W150

It's a good idea to have your Dodge W150 alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 1988 Dodge W150: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or squealing tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your W150 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

How Much Does an Alignment for Dodge W150 Cost?

On a budget? Dodge W150 wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. In the long run, it could actually help you save money.
