Wheels: Testing and Inspection

1. Jack-up vehicle until wheels clear the floor.

2. Slowly rotate wheel to check rim "runout" using a dial gauge.

-

Steel wheel: 1.5 mm (0.059 inch)

-

Aluminum wheel: 1.0 mm (0.039 inch)

3. If rim runout exceeds specifications, remove tire from rim and check runout while attaching dial gauge to positions shown in figure.
4. If measured runout still exceeds specifications, replace the wheel.
