Chrysler Alignment service at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Albuquerque in Albuquerque, NM Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions
9 common questions answered
How often should I get an alignment on my 2018 Chrysler 300?
Service guidance is typically every 2–3 years or about 30,000 miles, and after any suspension work or major pothole impact.
Road conditions around Albuquerque—potholes, construction patches, and occasional freeze-thaw cycles—can shorten that interval. If you replace tires, have new steering or suspension parts, or feel a change in steering response, schedule an alignment to protect tire life and handling.
- Follow-up after suspension or steering repairs
- Check alignment when changing tires
- Inspect sooner after hitting a curb or large pothole
What are the signs my 2018 Chrysler 300 needs an alignment?
Common signs are uneven tire wear, the vehicle pulling to one side, and an off-center steering wheel when driving straight.
These symptoms usually show gradually; uneven wear appears first on the inside or outside shoulder of the tires. In Albuquerque's mixed road conditions, you might also notice vibration at highway speeds or tracking changes after a heavy impact with a pothole.
- One-sided or feathered tire wear
- Steering wheel not centered at straight-ahead
- Pulling to left or right while driving
What's included in a 2018 Chrysler 300 four-wheel alignment?
A four-wheel alignment includes caster, camber, and toe adjustments to factory specifications plus a printed before-and-after alignment report.
Technicians also inspect steering and suspension components and verify tire pressures before making adjustments. At our shop in Albuquerque we document measurements, adjust to factory spec, then road-test the vehicle to confirm handling and stability.
- Suspension and tie-rod inspection before adjustments
- Caster, camber, and toe measured and adjusted to OEM spec
- Printed before-and-after alignment readings and a road test
How do I know if my 2018 Chrysler 300 alignment problem needs more than just an alignment?
If worn components like tie rods, ball joints, or bushings are found during inspection, replacement is required before a lasting alignment can be achieved.
Our technicians inspect linkage, mounts, and bushings during the pre-alignment check. If parts exceed wear limits, they’ll be flagged so you understand the scope of repair required to prevent the alignment from drifting out of spec shortly after service.
- Worn tie rods or ball joints found on visual/physical check
- Excessive play in suspension or steering linkages
- Replacement parts recommended before final alignment adjustments
Is an alignment worth it for my 2018 Chrysler 300 if it tracks straight?
Not always—if the vehicle tracks straight and tires wear evenly, you may not need an alignment at every service interval; however, it’s recommended after impacts, new tires, or suspension work.
Regular inspections can catch early toe or camber variation that doesn’t yet produce a noticeable pull. In Albuquerque, where road hazards and construction are common, checking alignment proactively can extend tire life and retain handling balance.
- Inspect alignment after mounting new tires
- Test alignment after steering or suspension repairs
- Check alignment sooner if you notice handling changes
