Why Is Ram Dakota Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Ram Dakota’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. During the 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, all of your tires experience equal pressure. As a result, you get several benefits: your ride is smoother, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. When you bring in your 2011 Ram Dakota, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Ram. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When to Get Ram Dakota Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Ram Dakota 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 2011 Ram Dakota: pulling to the left or right, excessive wear on only one tire, 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 Dakota dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 2011 Ram Dakota wheel alignment estimate.
