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 2020 Ram 2500?
As a rule, get an alignment every 2–3 years or around 30,000 miles, and after suspension work or major pothole impacts.
Road salt, canyon runs, and occasional frost‑heave in the Sandy area can accelerate wear that affects tracking. If you tow regularly with the 2020 Ram 2500 or hit construction zones off I‑15, check alignment sooner. Our technicians will log your mileage and local driving conditions when advising the next check.
- Typical interval: every 2–3 years or ~30,000 miles
- Check after replacing tires, shocks, or steering parts
- Re‑check following large pothole or curb strikes
what are the signs my 2020 Ram 2500 needs an alignment?
Four common signs are uneven tire wear, the truck pulling to one side, an off‑center steering wheel, and vibration at speed.
These symptoms show up on heavy pickups like the 2020 Ram 2500 when camber or toe drift from potholes, curb strikes, or worn suspension parts. In Sandy and neighboring Draper and South Jordan, road repairs and seasonal frost heaves commonly trigger alignment issues.
- Uneven or rapid tire wear across shoulders
- Vehicle pulls left or right on straight roads
- Steering wheel not centered when driving straight
what's included in a 2020 Ram 2500 four-wheel alignment?
A four‑wheel alignment includes caster, camber, and toe measurements and adjustments to factory specifications plus before/after printouts.
For the 2020 Ram 2500 we use OEM alignment targets (front and rear where adjustable), inspect steering and suspension components, and perform a road test to confirm handling. The service delivers a printed record of set‑up values so you can see before and after readings.
- Inspection: tie rods, ball joints, bushings, and shocks
- Measure and adjust caster, camber, and toe to factory spec
- Printed before/after alignment readings and road test
How do I know if my 2020 Ram 2500 alignment problem needs more than just an alignment?
If worn tie rods, ball joints, or struts are present, alignment adjustments may not hold and those parts typically need replacement first.
Our technicians in Sandy inspect suspension and steering before making adjustments. If components are worn or loose on the 2020 Ram 2500, we’ll document the findings, show you the wear points, and explain what work is necessary to achieve a lasting alignment.
- Worn tie rods or ball joints cause rapid re‑tracking
- Damaged struts or control‑arm bushings affect camber
- We inspect, report, and adjust only after confirming parts condition
Is an alignment worth it for my 2020 Ram 2500 if it tracks straight?
Not always—if your 2020 Ram 2500 tracks straight and tire wear is even, a full alignment may only be needed every 2–3 years or after component replacement.
However, if you tow near the truck’s capacity, drive on canyon roads, or experience new steering feedback, an alignment protects tires and handling. For Sandy commuters using I‑15 and local canyon routes, a periodic check is a low‑cost safeguard.
- Skip full alignment if tires wear evenly and steering is centered
- Schedule an alignment after replacing suspension or tires
- Check sooner if you frequently tow or drive rough local roads
How long does a four-wheel alignment take on a 2020 Ram 2500?
Most complete four‑wheel alignments for full‑size pickups like the 2020 Ram 2500 are completed in roughly 60 minutes for the alignment portion alone.
That time covers the chassis inspection, measurement, adjustments to caster/camber/toe (front and rear where applicable), and a brief road test. If the technician finds worn steering or suspension parts that need repair, total time will increase and we’ll provide an updated estimate.
- Alignment measurement and adjustment: ~60 minutes
- Additional repairs (if needed) add to total shop time
- We provide a before/after printout and road test confirmation
What's Included in a 2020 Ram 2500 Four-Wheel Alignment
A four‑wheel alignment for the 2020 Ram 2500 is a stepwise service: we begin with a thorough inspection of steering and suspension components, check tire pressures and wear patterns, then measure caster, camber, and toe on all wheels using OEM‑calibrated alignment equipment. Adjustments are made to factory specifications for the front and rear where the 2020 Ram 2500 allows, followed by a printed before/after report and a road test to confirm handling and tracking.
The process protects tire life and steering precision, and our written printout documents the corrective work. To set a time that fits your schedule, schedule service.
