Ram Alignment service at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Sandy in Sandy, UT Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions
9 common questions answered
How often should I get an alignment on my 2016 Ram Promaster Cargo Van?
Every 2–3 years or about 30,000 miles is a common interval for an alignment on a 2016 Ram Promaster Cargo Van.
Road conditions around Sandy — winter frost heaves, canyon runs to Little Cottonwood, and local road repair — can accelerate misalignment. Schedule inspections after major pothole strikes, suspension work, or when you rotate tires. Keeping alignment on a routine cycle extends tire life and maintains steering response.
- Typical interval: every 2–3 years or ~30,000 miles
- Always realign after suspension repairs or hitting a large pothole
- Check alignment when replacing tires to ensure even wear
What are the signs my 2016 Ram Promaster Cargo Van needs an alignment?
Four common signs are 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 2016 Ram Promaster Cargo Van while driving around Sandy or on I-15 commutes, bring it in for inspection. These signs can appear gradually and are often first visible on the inner or outer edge of the tires.
- Uneven or cupped tire wear

How do I know if my 2016 Ram Promaster Cargo Van alignment problem needs more than just an alignment?
If you have worn steering or suspension parts—like tie rods, ball joints, or struts—alignment alone often won’t hold and those components need replacement first.
When you bring your 2016 Ram Promaster Cargo Van to Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Sandy, technicians inspect suspension components before adjustments. If components are worn, we’ll show the issue and recommend repairs so the alignment stays within spec and tires wear evenly.
- Inspection catches worn tie rods, ball joints, and bushings
- Replacement of failing parts before alignment prevents repeat faults
- We document findings and recommend necessary repairs for safety
Is an alignment worth it for my 2016 Ram Promaster Cargo Van if it tracks straight?
Not always—if the 2016 Ram Promaster Cargo Van tracks straight and tires wear evenly, you can defer alignment until routine intervals or after noticeable symptoms.
However, local driving in Sandy exposes vehicles to potholes and winter impacts that can subtly change alignment. Consider an alignment after suspension work, new tires, or any noticeable steering change. A documented before/after printout adds value when monitoring long-term tire health.
- Do an alignment after suspension repairs or tire replacement
- Inspect tires regularly for uneven wear even if tracking straight
- Use periodic alignment checks for vans used in heavy-duty local routes
