9 common questions answered

How often should I get an alignment on my 2026 Ram 2500?

Most owners should consider an alignment every 2–3 years or about 30,000 miles, and after any suspension work or a major pothole impact.

For a 2026 Ram 2500 driven on Albuquerque streets or regional roads, repeated curb strikes, canyon runs, or winter potholes can shift toe and camber sooner than calendar time suggests. If you tow frequently or carry heavy loads, check alignment sooner. Our technicians will note local road conditions when recommending a follow-up interval.

  • Routine interval: roughly 2–3 years or 30,000 miles
  • Always align after suspension repairs or wheel/tire replacement
  • Check alignment after hitting large potholes or curbs
What are the signs my 2026 Ram 2500 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 notice one or more of these symptoms on your 2026 Ram 2500 while driving around Albuquerque, bring the truck in for an inspection. Our technicians check tires, steering linkages, and suspension to find the root cause before adjusting alignment angles.

  • Uneven or cupped tire wear patterns
  • Vehicle drifts or pulls to left or right
  • Steering wheel not centered when driving straight
What's included in a 2026 Ram 2500 four-wheel alignment?

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

The 2026 Ram 2500 alignment service follows factory procedures: technicians inspect suspension and steering components, measure alignment angles with OEM-grade equipment, make the necessary adjustments, and road-test the truck to verify results. You receive documentation that shows the correction to factory spec.

  • Suspension and tie-rod inspection before adjustments
  • Caster, camber, and toe measured and set to factory specs
  • Printed before-and-after alignment readings and a road test
How do I know if my 2026 Ram 2500 alignment problem needs more than just an alignment?

If worn tie rods, ball joints, or bent suspension parts are present, the alignment will not hold and those components must be repaired or replaced first.

When you bring a 2026 Ram 2500 to Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Albuquerque, the service team inspects steering and suspension components before attempting an alignment. If wear or damage is found, the technician documents the issue and recommends repairs so the alignment remains stable.

  • Technician inspects tie rods, ball joints, control arms, and bushings
  • Visible play or bent parts usually require repair before alignment
  • We document findings and estimate needed repairs before proceeding
Is an alignment worth it for my 2026 Ram 2500 if it tracks straight?

An alignment is not always needed if the 2026 Ram 2500 tracks straight and tires wear evenly, but it is recommended after suspension work, new tires, or any steering symptoms.

If your Ram 2500 shows no steering drift and tire wear is even, routine alignments can be deferred until service indicators appear. For peace of mind—especially if you tow, haul, or drive rough roads around Albuquerque—an inspection can confirm alignment angles are still within factory tolerance.

  • Skip immediate alignment if steering and tires are normal
  • Schedule alignment after shocks/struts, tie-rod, or control-arm work
  • Consider inspection if you tow, carry heavy loads, or drive rough local roads
