Wheels/tires, balancing (continued)
Note
For on-the-vehicle balancing of the driving wheels, the wheels must be driven by the engine so that wheel speeds are synchronized.
Wheels, Installing
^
install wheels with point of maximum radial runout at top and tighten lug bolts in this position
Note
If tire wear is approximately equal, the wheels with the lowest amount of radial runout and the smallest balance weights should be installed at the
front.
^
repeat road test of vehicle
If vibrations are still present, the radial and lateral oscillations of one or more tires are too high. These oscillations cannot be measured with normal
workshop equipment. For such cases, the front tires, rear tires or all four tires should be replaced.
