Wheel and Tire Radial and Lateral Run Out, Checking with Tire Dial Gauge
Checking Lateral Run-Out
-
Load the tire dial gauge approximately 2 mm.
-
Set up tire dial gauge on the side wall of the tire.
-
Slowly rotate the wheel.
-
Note the smallest and the largest dial readings.
‹› If the difference is greater than 1.3 mm, the lateral run-out is too great.
In this case, lateral run-out can be reduced by matched mounting of the tire. Refer to => [ Matched Mounting ] See: Wheels and Tires/Tires/Service
and Repair/Matched Mounting.
Peak values on the tire dial gauge due to small irregularities in the rubber may be disregarded.
Checking Radial Run-Out
-
Load the tire dial gauge approximately 2 mm.
-
Set up tire dial gauge on the tire tread.
