Adjustability
The 2018 Ram 2500 has limited factory alignment adjustments. Front toe is the only angle that is directly adjustable from the factory. Caster and camber are not adjustable without aftermarket parts. The rear axle is a solid axle and is not adjustable. To bring caster and camber into specification, aftermarket eccentric bushings or cam bolts must be installed.
Recommended adjustment hardware
To adjust camber and caster on the 2018 Ram 2500, we recommend SPC Performance eccentric bushings (part #82390). These bushings provide up to 2.5 degrees of caster and camber adjustment, which is typically enough to bring the alignment into specification, even on lifted or leveled trucks. For Ram 2500s with a lift of 2" or more, adjustable control arms may be necessary to achieve proper alignment.
Symptoms of bad alignment
- Feathered tire wear: This is a classic sign of a bad toe setting. The tread blocks will be worn down on one side and sharp on the other.
- Edge wear: If the inside or outside edge of your tires is wearing down faster than the rest of the tire, this is a sign of a bad camber setting.
- Pulling to one side: If your truck pulls to one side while driving, this could be a sign of a bad caster or camber setting.
- Crooked steering wheel: If your steering wheel is not straight when you are driving straight, this is a sign of a bad toe setting.
When to align
It is recommended to have your 2018 Ram 2500 aligned after any of the following:
- Installation of new tires
- Any suspension or steering work
- Hitting a curb or other road hazard
- At least once a year as part of regular maintenance
Typical alignment cost
A four-wheel alignment for a 2018 Ram 2500 typically costs between $120 and $200. If aftermarket parts are needed to adjust camber or caster, the cost will be higher.
