The Importance of RAM Tire Service

Do your tires squeal while you drive? Does your vehicle pull to the left or the right? If so, your vehicle is probably in need of a wheel alignment. Cook Chrysler Dodge RAM offers trusted RAM wheel alignment service to help your RAM truck not only operate correctly, but more efficiently as well.

What is a Wheel Alignment?

Every vehicle has tires with certain wheel angles, and those angles impact how the rubber of your tires meets the road. If those angles are out of alignment, your vehicle will not come into contact with the road correctly. This results in poor handling, your steering wheel shaking or vibrating while driving, and your vehicle pulling to the left or right.

Two-wheel Alignment vs Four-wheel Alignment

There are two types of wheel alignments: two-wheel and four-wheel. Two-wheel alignments only deal with the two front wheels used for steering, while four-wheel alignments correct all four wheels. If you are unsure of what wheel alignment you need, you can consult our RAM service center to determine what kind of service is right for you.

When is a Wheel Alignment Necessary?

Here are some signs that should indicate to you when your RAM truck may be in need of a wheel alignment:

  • The vehicle pulls to the right or left while driving
  • Tires show uneven wear
  • Wheels squeal on turns
  • You were recently involved in an accident or you hit a large pothole
  • You recently replaced steering or suspension parts

Benefits of a Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignments can help extend your tire life by preventing your tire tread from wearing down. Other benefits include better gas mileage, improved steering and handling, and better contact with the road when driving. Overall, you’ll get more out of your tires and your vehicle with a proper wheel alignment from Cook Chrysler Dodge RAM.
