to steering Fault Diagnosis, Fault -

Symptom (Steering vibration, road wheel
shimmy/wobble)

See STEERING, Fault diagnosis,

Steering Faults .

NOTE: Radial ply tyres have a flexible
sidewall, which produces a sidewall bulge
making the tyre appear under-inflated.

This is a normal condition for radial ply tyres. Do
not attempt to reduce this bulge by over-inflating
the tyre.

Key to illustration

1. Correct inflation.
2. Under-inflation.
3. Over-inflation.
4. Tread contact with road.
