RAM truck steering and suspension repair Langley

RAM FRONT-END REPAIR

Inspect the entire steering and suspension system.

Ball Joints

Check looseness, load-bearing wear and movement.

Tie Rods

Inspect steering linkage and excessive play.

Track Bars

Important on applicable heavy-duty solid-axle RAM trucks.

Control Arms

Inspect bushings, joints and mounting points.

Shocks

Restore ride control, stability and damping.

Steering Gear

Diagnose looseness, wandering and steering response.

RAM 2500 & 3500 FRONT END

Heavy-duty trucks have their own steering demands.

Applicable RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks use solid-front-axle layouts where track bar condition, steering linkage, ball joints and caster can strongly influence highway stability.

Track-bar movement
Can contribute to lateral axle movement.
Heavy-duty ball joints
Carry substantial vehicle and payload weight.
Steering linkage
Multiple joints can accumulate play.
Caster
Important to return-to-centre and stability.

LIFTED & LEVELED RAM TRUCKS

Modifications change geometry.

Leveling kits, suspension lifts and larger tires can change steering angles and increase load on chassis components. These changes should be considered during diagnosis and alignment.

Leveling kits
Suspension lifts
Larger wheels and tires
Aftermarket control arms
Upgraded shocks

RAM Steering & Suspension FAQ

Do you work on lifted RAM trucks?

Yes. Lifted and leveled applications can be inspected, repaired and aligned.

Can worn ball joints cause tire wear?

Yes. Excess movement can change wheel geometry while driving.

Why does my RAM wander?

Tires, alignment, track bars, steering linkage, ball joints and other components can all contribute.

Should steering wear be repaired before alignment?

Yes, when excessive play is present.

Can larger tires increase front-end wear?

Heavier tire and wheel combinations can increase loads on steering and suspension components.
