2020 Ram 1500 Classic Alignment: Specs & Service

The manufacturer’s maintenance schedule for the 2020 Ram 1500 Classic specifies no alignment interval. A measurement is more useful than paying for an adjustment automatically, especially after a noticeable impact or steering change.

• Consider an alignment after suspension component replacement.
• Have the angles checked after a major pothole impact.
• Use symptoms and inspection results to determine whether adjustment is needed.

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 all four wheel angles and inspect related components before recommending an adjustment.

• The truck pulls on a flat road.
• The steering wheel sits off center while driving straight.
• One edge of a tire wears faster than the other.

The service begins with an inspection of the tires, steering, and suspension for wear that could hold an alignment out of specification. Measurement helps identify whether adjustment is appropriate before work is performed.

• Measurement of camber, caster, and toe on all four wheels.
• Adjustment to manufacturer specification where possible.
• Inspection for tire, steering, and suspension wear.

An inspection of the steering and suspension should come before relying on an alignment adjustment. If a component has excessive wear, the technician can explain how it may affect tire wear, steering position, or alignment stability.

• Inspect tie rods for wear that may affect toe.
• Check ball joints for movement that can change wheel position.
• Inspect struts and other suspension components before adjustment.

It becomes more useful after symptoms, a major pothole impact, suspension work, or uneven tread wear. A measurement at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria can show whether the wheel angles need adjustment before you authorize the service.

• Check for even tread wear across each tire.
• Pay attention to steering-wheel position on straight roads.
• Request measurement after a significant road impact.

The inspection also looks at tires, steering, and suspension components for wear that could affect alignment. This approach helps determine whether the truck needs an adjustment or whether another component should be addressed first.

• Measure the three primary alignment angles.
• Inspect all four tires for irregular wear.
• Check steering and suspension condition before adjustment.

Next, technicians measure camber, caster, and toe at all four wheels. Where the suspension allows, the angles are adjusted back toward the manufacturer’s specification. The purpose of the measurement is to identify whether an adjustment is needed before you pay for one, rather than treating every visit as an automatic alignment.

The service addresses the conditions drivers commonly notice first: pulling on a flat road, a steering wheel that is not centered while traveling straight, or tread wearing faster on one edge. To request an appointment, schedule service with Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria at 623-400-7471.

Measurements are taken on all four wheels, followed by adjustment back to the manufacturer’s specification where the suspension allows. The inspection also considers tire, steering, and suspension wear that could hold the angles out of specification. That step is important because worn components can make an alignment concern return even after an adjustment.

For the 2020 Ram 1500 Classic, a measurement can clarify whether the truck needs an adjustment after a pothole impact, suspension work, or uneven tire wear. Bring your 2020 Ram 1500 Classic to Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria in Peoria for a factory-spec alignment — schedule service.
