9000 Hatchback L4-2290cc 2.3L DOHC Turbo EFI (1994)
NOTE
^
If the car is equipped with full wheel covers and vibration still exists, remove the wheel covers and test drive again. If the vibration goes
away, replace the suspect wheel covers.
^
If excessive weight is required, it may be necessary to dismount the tire, rotate it 180° on the rim and rebalance.
^
Certain balance machines have "match mounting" capability which matches a rim and tire before balancing takes place. See Figure 2.
^
Always use tire lubricant when mounting a rim or tire. Do not use petroleum-based products. See Figure 3.
3.
Road test the car. Try to best duplicate the conditions when the complaint occurs.
NOTE
If additional remedies are necessary, there may be damage or runout at the rim.
Checking Rims for Runout or Damage
1.
Dismount the tire and install the rim on the balance machine. Spin the rim by hand and observe the areas where the tire and rim meet.
2.
If no runout or damage is visually detected. mount the rim (without the tire) in a stationary wheel balancing machine. Set up a dial indicator gauge
with a pointer and measure both the radial (out-of-round) and axial (warp) tolerances on both sides of the rim. See Figure 4.
