Frequently Asked Questions

9 common questions answered

How often should I get an alignment on my 2018 Ram Promaster Window Van?

Get an alignment every 2–3 years or about every 30,000 miles, and after any suspension work or major pothole impact.

Roads around Sandy, Draper, and South Jordan include canyon approaches and occasional frost heaves; those conditions shorten the time between necessary alignments. Routine checks during tire rotations or after hitting a curb can catch drift early.

  • Schedule an alignment after suspension or steering component replacement.
  • Inspect alignment after significant pothole or curb strikes.
  • Consider checks sooner if you tow regularly or carry heavy loads.
What are the signs my 2018 Ram Promaster Window Van needs an alignment?

Common signs include uneven tire wear, the vehicle pulling to one side, an off-center steering wheel, or vibration at speed.

Those symptoms are measurable on the 2018 Ram Promaster Window Van and often appear sooner on work vans that carry cargo or regularly navigate Salt Lake Valley construction zones. A quick inspection in Sandy will show whether tires or steering components are the root cause.

  • Check tire tread for one-sided wear patterns.
  • Notice if the steering wheel is not centered when driving straight.
  • Feel for steering vibration or pull on highway speeds.
What's included in a 2018 Ram Promaster Window Van four-wheel alignment?

A four-wheel alignment includes caster, camber, and toe adjustments to factory specifications, a before-and-after alignment printout, and a suspension and steering inspection.

The service follows factory targets for the 2018 Ram Promaster Window Van and documents settings before and after adjustment so you can see the corrections. Technicians also road-test the van to confirm steering and tracking are restored under load.

  • Full suspension and tie-rod inspection before adjustments.
  • Caster, camber, and toe measured and set to OEM specs with a printed report.
  • Post-adjustment road test to verify handling and tracking.
How do I know if my 2018 Ram Promaster Window Van alignment problem needs more than just an alignment?

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

During an alignment inspection at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Sandy, technicians check for play, bushing wear, and component damage that can cause recurring misalignment. If additional repairs are needed, they’ll provide a clear estimate and explain why those repairs matter for alignment longevity.

  • Technician checks tie rods, ball joints, bushings, and bearings for wear.
  • Worn parts are listed on the inspection and recommended for replacement.
  • Alignment is completed only after necessary suspension or steering repairs.
Is an alignment worth it for my 2018 Ram Promaster Window Van if it tracks straight?

If your 2018 Ram Promaster Window Van tracks straight and shows no tire wear or steering issues, immediate alignment is not always necessary; however, a check every tire service or after impacts is prudent.

An alignment check at scheduled service visits prevents small deviations from becoming uneven tire wear or steering faults that reduce fuel economy and tire life. For vans used for towing, heavy loads, or frequent canyon driving from Sandy to Little Cottonwood Canyon, proactive checks are more valuable.

  • Check alignment at tire rotations or after hitting a curb or pothole.
  • Align if you notice any change in steering feel or tire wear.
  • Use periodic inspections to protect tires and steering components.
