2017 Ram Promaster City Alignment Specifications
Alignment on the 2017 Ram Promaster City centers on returning caster, camber, and toe to the factory specification window, front and rear. We reference FCA alignment data to ensure settings complement the van’s wheelbase, load distribution, and suspension geometry. On our OEM-spec alignment rack, we secure the vehicle, verify ride height, and measure caster for directional stability, camber for tire contact patch, and toe for straight-line tracking. Adjustments are made incrementally until readings fall within manufacturer tolerances, and a printed report verifies the exact before/after values. Because cargo load and repeated curb or pothole strikes can subtly shift angles over time, periodic checks protect tire life and steering feel.
