Local roads around Albuquerque can include potholes and construction that accelerate tire and suspension wear; regular checks protect tire life on a 2016 Ram Promaster City. If you tow near the van’s 2,000 lb capacity or drive canyon and rough streets, check sooner. Our technicians inspect alignment during service visits and advise based on tire wear and steering feedback.

- When you notice uneven tire wear or steering drift

These symptoms frequently appear on the 2016 Ram Promaster City after curb strikes, potholes, or normal wear. In Albuquerque’s mix of city and arterial roads, a close inspection of inner and outer tire tread can reveal alignment drift before handling degrades.

How do I know if my 2016 Ram Promaster City alignment problem needs more than just an alignment when I bring it to Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Albuquerque?
If tie rods, ball joints, wheel bearings or worn struts are present, alignment adjustments may not hold and those components will need repair or replacement.
When you bring a 2016 Ram Promaster City to Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Albuquerque, technicians first inspect suspension and steering components for play or wear. If parts are worn, we document findings, explain required repairs, and provide cost options before proceeding. Repairs are recommended when worn parts prevent stable alignment readings or cause rapid rewear.
- Technician inspects tie rods, ball joints, bushings and struts
- Worn components that allow play will be flagged and quoted
- Alignment is completed after necessary suspension repairs for lasting results
Is an alignment worth it for my 2016 Ram Promaster City if it currently tracks straight?
If the van tracks straight and shows no uneven wear, routine alignment at intervals or after suspension work is usually sufficient rather than an immediate service.
A straight-tracking 2016 Ram Promaster City does not always need immediate alignment, but scheduled checks help catch slow drift caused by road wear in Albuquerque. An alignment is a good preventive measure after new tires, after suspension repairs, or if you’ve hit a curb or pothole. Ask for a quick alignment check during regular maintenance visits.
- Not required every oil change if no symptoms are present
- Recommended after tire or suspension component replacement
- Quick checks detect gradual changes before uneven tire wear appears
