how often should i get an alignment on my 2017 Ram Promaster City?

Those intervals are general guidance for maintaining even tire wear and stable steering on a 2017 Ram Promaster City. Albuquerque roads and seasonal temperature swings can accelerate steering or tire issues, so inspect alignment sooner if you hit a curb or pothole. Our technicians will check suspension components during the alignment.

  • Routine alignment: every 2–3 years or ~30,000 miles
  • After suspension repairs, new tires, or wheel replacement
  • After significant impacts (potholes, curbs)
what are the signs my 2017 Ram Promaster City needs an alignment?

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

If you see feathering or scalloped tread on front tires of your 2017 Ram Promaster City, schedule an inspection in Albuquerque right away. Pulling or steering-wheel misalignment after hitting a pothole often indicates a toe or camber issue. Our staff will document findings and recommend repairs when needed.

For a 2017 Ram Promaster City that drives true with even tire wear, routine checks during tire rotations are often sufficient.
