9 common questions answered
How often should I get an alignment on my 2014 Ram 3500?
Routine alignment checks are recommended every 2–3 years or about every 30,000 miles, and after any suspension work or major pothole impact.
Road conditions around Albuquerque — seasonal temperature swings and road repairs — can accelerate wear on steering and suspension components. Regular checks help preserve tire life and towing stability for a heavy truck like the 2014 Ram 3500. If you tow frequently or drive on rough roads, consider an earlier inspection.
- Schedule an alignment after suspension repairs or part replacement
- Check alignment after hitting large potholes or curb strikes
- Inspect alignment when replacing tires or after uneven tire wear
What are the signs my 2014 Ram 3500 needs an alignment?
Four common signs are uneven tire wear, the vehicle pulling to one side, an off-center steering wheel, and vibration at speed.
These symptoms indicate the front or rear toe/camber/caster are out of factory specification, which affects handling and can reduce tire life on a 2014 Ram 3500. In Albuquerque, watch for symptoms after winter road repairs or when returning from heavy towing trips.
- Uneven or cupped tire wear across axles
- Truck drifts left or right on level pavement
- Steering wheel is not centered when driving straight
What's included in a 2014 Ram 3500 four-wheel alignment?
A full four-wheel alignment includes caster, camber and toe adjustments to factory specifications, a printed before-and-after alignment report, a suspension inspection, and a road test.
The service follows OEM targets for the 2014 Ram 3500 and uses calibrated alignment equipment to confirm factory specs. Technicians also check tires, tie rods, ball joints, and steering components; if additional repairs are needed they will explain what’s required to hold the alignment.
- Calibrated alignment measurement and adjustment to factory specs
- Printed before-and-after alignment readings
- Suspension component inspection and road test
How do I know if my 2014 Ram 3500 alignment problem needs more than just an alignment?
If steering play, clunking, or persistent uneven tire wear are present, worn components like tie rods, ball joints or struts are likely and may need repair before alignment will hold.
Technicians at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Albuquerque inspect suspension parts before adjustment and will report any worn or damaged components that would prevent a correct alignment. Addressing worn parts first prevents repeated alignment drift and protects tires and towing stability.
- Inspect tie rods, ball joints, control arms, and bushings for wear
- Replace worn suspension parts before alignment to ensure lasting results
- Road test after repairs to verify alignment holds under load and towing
Is an alignment worth it for my 2014 Ram 3500 if it tracks straight?
Even if the truck appears to track straight, an alignment is worth doing after tire replacement, suspension repairs, heavy towing, or when you notice early uneven wear.
A visual straight track doesn't guarantee each wheel meets factory toe, camber, and caster specs that affect tire life and fuel efficiency. For a heavy-duty vehicle like the 2014 Ram 3500, a factory-spec alignment helps maintain handling, maximize tire life, and support safe towing on New Mexico roads.
- Get alignment after new tires or suspension work
- Check alignment if you tow regularly or drive rough roads
- Use an alignment to verify OEM specs rather than relying on visual checks
How long does a four-wheel alignment take on a 2014 Ram 3500 at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Albuquerque?
Most four-wheel alignments are completed in about 60 minutes at a dealership service lane when no additional suspension repairs are required.
Time can increase if we find worn components that need repair or if your truck requires steering or suspension replacement to meet factory tolerances. The service team inspects the 2014 Ram 3500 suspension first, provides a written estimate, and explains any additional work before proceeding.
- Initial suspension and tire inspection upon arrival
