Frequently Asked Questions

9 common questions answered

How often should I get an alignment on my 2016 Ram Promaster Cargo Van?

Every 2–3 years or about 30,000 miles, and after suspension repairs or a major pothole impact.

Routine intervals help prevent premature tire wear on work vans used in Albuquerque. Heavy cargo loads and repeated curb impacts shorten alignment life, so schedule an inspection sooner if you notice handling changes.

  • Follow a 2–3 year / ~30,000 mile guideline for preventive alignment
  • Check alignment after replacement of suspension or steering components
  • Re-check after hitting large potholes or curb strikes on city roads
What are the signs my 2016 Ram Promaster Cargo Van needs an alignment in Albuquerque?

Common signs are uneven tire wear, the vehicle pulling to one side, an off-center steering wheel, or vibration at speed.

These symptoms are easy to spot during daily use or while towing; they also accelerate tire replacement costs for commercial vans. If you see feathering on tire shoulders or steering drift, bring the van in for a check.

  • Uneven or cupped tire wear visible on inspection
  • Vehicle pulls left or right without steering input
  • Steering wheel sits off-center when driving straight
What's included in a 2016 Ram Promaster Cargo Van four-wheel alignment?

A four-wheel alignment includes caster, camber, and toe adjustments to factory specifications, a printed before-and-after alignment report, and a suspension and steering inspection.

Technicians measure front and rear angles with OEM-grade alignment equipment, correct geometry to manufacturer tolerances, and perform a road test to confirm handling. The printed report documents settings for your records and for warranty or fleet tracking.

  • Full suspension and tie-rod inspection before adjustment
  • Caster, camber, and toe set to factory specs with OEM tools
  • Before-and-after printout and final road test
How long does a four-wheel alignment take on a 2016 Ram Promaster Cargo Van?

A typical four-wheel alignment takes about 60 minutes at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Albuquerque.

Time can vary if suspension components need repair or if the van requires additional measurements. Our team starts with a suspension inspection to identify worn parts that would prevent the alignment from holding.

  • Standard alignment service time: roughly 60 minutes
  • Longer if tie rods, ball joints, or bushings need replacement
  • Includes inspection, adjustment, printout, and road test
How do I know if my 2016 Ram Promaster Cargo Van alignment problem needs more than just an alignment?

If you have worn tie rods, ball joints, or struts, the alignment will not hold and those parts must be replaced first.

Our technicians inspect steering and suspension components before making alignment adjustments. If wear or damage is found, we document the needed repairs and explain how they affect alignment stability and tire life.

  • Worn tie rods or ball joints cause recurring steering drift
  • Damaged struts or bent control arms prevent proper geometry
  • We provide a repair estimate and re-check alignment after parts work
Is an alignment worth it for my 2016 Ram Promaster Cargo Van at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Albuquerque?

Alignment is usually worth it after handling symptoms, suspension or tire replacement, or at recommended intervals (every 2–3 years / ~30,000 miles).

For commercial vans, the cost of prevented tire wear and improved fuel economy often offsets service expense. Check current offers on our service specials and schedule service if you suspect alignment issues.

  • Schedule after symptoms or major impacts to protect tires
  • Useful after installing new tires or replacing suspension parts
  • Check available service specials before booking
