Wheels: Testing and Inspection
NOTE: Wheels must be replaced if they are bent, dented, have excessive lateral or radial runout, leak air through the welds, have elongated bolt holes,
or wheel nuts will not stay tight. Wheels with runout greater than specified may cause objectionable vibrations.
a. Use a straight edge 8 to 9 inches long. Place it on the inboard mounting surface of the wheel and try to rock it up and down.
b. Repeat the above procedure on at least three or four different positions on the inboard mounting surface.
c. The outer ring of the mounting surface is normally raised above everything inside it. If the wheel mounting surface has been bent, it will be raised
above the outer ring.
d. Check mounting wheel/nut holes for damage that can be caused from over torquing the lug nuts. Look for collapsed wheel/nut bosses or cracked
bosses.
e. If the wheel is bent, or wheel/nut boss area is cracked replace the wheel.
NOTE: Replacement wheels must be equivalent to the original equipment wheels in load capacity, diameter, rim width, offset, and mounting
configuration. A wheel of incorrect size or type may affect wheel and hub bearing life,
