2024 Ram 1500 Limited — need advice: Alignment still pulls after tires were rotated

PistonBuilder78Community StarterSep 15, 20252024 Ram 1500 LimitedSan Diego
Car started pulling slightly right after a tire rotation. Alignment printout is technically in spec. Is it worth cross-rotating tires to check radial pull before paying for another alignment? I'd rather test this logically than start replacing parts. What am I missing?

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2024 Ram 1500, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2024 Ram 1500 in San Diego. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

Parts cannon is a personality type I try to avoid. Make the next action something you can finish this week. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2024 Ram 1500 in San Diego, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. Then you'll know the next fork. On “need advice: alignment still pulls after tires,” that was the fork that mattered for me. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. That's my plan before I call anyone.

I parked the 2024 Ram 1500 and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2024 Ram 1500 before a big repair or a big spend. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2024 Ram 1500 in San Diego. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2024 Ram 1500 before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

I hear you, though I'd still want a second check. On the 2024 Ram 1500 in San Diego, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. That's where I'd start. On “need advice: alignment still pulls after tires,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2024 Ram 1500 in San Diego. Monthly payment math is how wallets disappear.

Following up on need advice: alignment still pulls after tires: still happening, but I have better notes now. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

Agree — and I'd add this: On the 2024 Ram 1500 in San Diego, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. That's where I'd start. On “need advice: alignment still pulls after tires,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Not convinced that's the whole story. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2024 Ram 1500 before a big repair or a big spend. Then you'll know the next fork. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. Your commute and mine probably aren't the same, but the test still applies. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

I parked the 2024 Ram 1500 and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Thanks — that narrowed it. I'm going to try the simpler check on the 2024 Ram 1500 first. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2024 Ram 1500 owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. Then you'll know the next fork. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. This is the version I'd tell a friend.
