2017 Ram 3500 Alignment: Specs & Service

The manufacturer maintenance schedule has no alignment interval for this model year. A measurement is useful when driving conditions or symptoms suggest the angles may have changed. Peoria roads, construction zones, and pothole impacts can also justify an inspection.

• Schedule an inspection after suspension component replacement.
• Check alignment after a significant pothole impact.
• Use tire wear and steering behavior as practical warning signs.

Wheels that are out of alignment can scrub the tires as the truck rolls, wearing the tread unevenly. Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria can measure the angles on all four wheels and inspect steering and suspension components that may affect the result.

• Pulling on a flat road.
• Steering wheel sitting off center while driving straight.
• One edge of a tire wearing faster than the other.

The service begins with an inspection of tire, steering, and suspension condition. Current angles are measured against factory specifications so the technician can identify whether adjustment is needed before work is performed.

• Camber, caster, and toe measurement.
• Adjustment where the suspension allows.
• Inspection for wear that could hold an alignment out of specification.

An alignment measures wheel angles, but worn steering or suspension parts can allow those angles to change while driving. The service inspection helps identify wear that could keep the truck out of specification. You should be told whether an adjustment is appropriate before paying for one.

• Inspect steering and suspension components first.
• Look for wear that can change wheel angles.
• Measure current angles before deciding on adjustment.

It becomes more worthwhile after symptoms, a major pothole impact, suspension work, or replacement of a steering or suspension component. A measurement can confirm whether the angles remain within the manufacturer's specifications before an adjustment is authorized.

• Consider measurement after a major road impact.
• Watch for uneven tread wear.
• Check the steering wheel position while driving straight.

This measurement-first approach helps show whether an adjustment is needed before you pay for one. The technician also checks tires, steering, and suspension components for wear that could affect alignment accuracy or durability. Schedule service at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria.

• Measure all four wheel angles.
• Compare readings with manufacturer's specifications.
• Identify component wear that may affect alignment.

This approach helps identify whether an adjustment is appropriate before work begins.

Next, the technician measures camber, caster, and toe on all four wheels and compares the readings with the manufacturer's specifications. Where the suspension allows, the angles are adjusted back to specification. The process focuses on the actual measurements rather than assuming an adjustment is necessary.

Drivers may benefit from booking this measurement after a major pothole impact, suspension work, or when the truck pulls on a flat road. To make an appointment, schedule service or call 623-400-7471.

Front and rear wheel measurements are considered during the four-wheel service. The inspection also covers tires, steering, and suspension components because worn parts can prevent an alignment from remaining within specification. Symptoms such as pulling, an off-center steering wheel, uneven tire wear, or vibration at speed can indicate that measurement is worthwhile.

The service helps distinguish an alignment issue from a component-wear issue before adjustment is authorized. Bring your 2017 Ram 3500 to Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria in Peoria for a factory-spec alignment — schedule service.
