How Does Ram 1500 Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your 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 Ram. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When the system is aligned to Ram specifications, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: your ride is smoother, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2013 Ram 1500, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Ram’s recommended measurements. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When to Get Ram 1500 Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Ram 1500 alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly 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 need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2013 Ram 1500: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your 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 Ram 1500?

Correctly aligned wheels can help boost fuel efficiency and increase the lifespan of your tires, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 2013 Ram 1500 wheel alignment estimate.
