When removing the wheel to check or perform a wheel balance, mark the wheel stud position relative to the wheel and reinstall on the vehicle in this
same orientation following balancing. When balancing the wheel/tire assembly, it is extremely important that the wheel is centered properly on the wheel
pilot. Avoid the use of balance equipment with excessive taper on the center pilot shaft. For dynamic off-car balance, consistent wheel balance cannot be
maintained using the conventional cone type wheel mounting adapter. For better balance, the optional lug adapter plate and wheel pilot collar assembly
should be used. This additional equipment is necessary to assure proper wheel position on the balance equipment (Figure 32).
Procedure for Replacing Wheels
In production, the high point of the radial runout of the tire is aligned with the low point of wheel runout. This reduces the overall wheel/tire assembly
runout and results in a better ride. When a new wheel is installed on the car, it must also be aligned with the tire to reduce runouts. The following
procedure should be used:
1a. The service part number to be used when replacement of the 13" x 5.0" (Iron Cross) styled steel wheel is required is E2FZ-1007-A. 1b. The service
part numbers to be used when replacement of the 13" x 5.0" (4Y) styled steel wheel is required are:
