Do You Need an Alignment After Installing MORryde Suspension? (RV Maintenance Q&A)

Do MORryde suspension systems need maintenance? Learn why a 1-year alignment is critical, how camber changes over time, and how to prevent uneven tire wear.

Do MORryde Suspension Systems Need Maintenance? 

If you’ve recently upgraded to a MORryde independent suspension system, you might be thinking:

“Am I good to go… or is there anything I need to keep up on?” 

The truth is—while MORryde systems are a huge upgrade in ride quality and durability, they still require ongoing maintenance and inspection.

One of the most important (and most overlooked) steps?

A 1-year alignment check 

Let’s break down why that matters.

Do you need to service a MORryde suspension system?

Yes—but not in the way you might expect.

MORryde systems are designed to be:

    •Durable

    •Smooth riding

    •More stable than traditional setups

But over time, like any suspension system:

They settle and shift slightly under load, especially in their first year of service.

That’s where alignment comes in.

Why is a 1-year alignment so important?

When a MORryde system is first installed at Henderson's Line-Up, the alignment is set intentionally to account for future changes.

Specifically:

    •Camber is set slightly positive (top of tire angled outward)

Why?

Because over time, the suspension will settle (or “sag”), which naturally shifts camber in the opposite direction.

What happens to alignment over time?

As you drive your RV:

    •Weight settles into the suspension

    •Components naturally wear in

    •Ride height can slightly change

This causes:

Camber to move from positive toward negative 

And if left unchecked:

It can go too far into negative camber

Why is negative camber a problem?

Negative camber means:

    •The top of the tire leans inward

This can lead to:

    •Uneven tire wear

    •Reduced tire life

    •Poor tracking and handling

In alignment terms:

You’re no longer driving within optimal specs

What should camber be set to?

For most MORryde setups:

Target camber is slightly positive (around +0.2°) 

This ensures:

    •Proper tire contact with the road

    •Even wear over time

    •Better overall performance

How often should you check alignment on a MORryde system?

At minimum:

Have it checked 12 months after it is first installed, to account for initial settling of components.

After that:

    •Check periodically based on usage

    •Especially if you travel frequently or carry heavy loads

What happens if you skip this alignment check?

Skipping alignment can lead to:

    •Premature tire wear

    •Reduced handling performance

    •Increased long-term costs

And the tricky part is:

You may not notice it right away

By the time symptoms appear, damage may already be happening.

What does a proper alignment check include?

A professional alignment service will:

    •Measure camber angles

    •Compare against recommended specs

    •Adjust suspension components as needed

The goal is simple:

Get everything back into the correct range for safe driving

Are there any other regular maintenance items that owners should keep up on?

Yes – in addition to the alignment check one year after installation, there are regular maintenance intervals:

    •Re-pack wheel bearings every 12,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first.

    •Grease torque brackets every 12,000 miles or 1-2 times per year

    •Once a year or every 12,000 miles, inspect shear springs for wear as well as shock absorbers for leakage

What’s the biggest takeaway for MORryde owners?

Even though MORryde is a premium upgrade:

It still needs follow-up maintenance

One of the most critical steps:

Get a 1-year alignment check 

This ensures:

    •Your suspension is performing correctly

    •Your tires are wearing evenly

    •Your RV is driving the way it should

Protect Your Investment

Upgrading to a MORryde suspension system is a big step toward improving your RV’s ride and durability.

But to get the most out of it:

You need to maintain it properly

A simple alignment check can:

    •Extend tire life

    •Improve handling

    •Prevent bigger issues down the road

Need Help With Your RV Alignment?

If you’re unsure where your alignment stands or when it was last checked, getting a professional evaluation is always a smart move.

Because when it comes to suspension and tire wear:

The small adjustments make a big difference.
