Inspect the radial and axial deviations of rim concentricity
Inspect the radial and axial deviations of rim concentricity
–  Connect the rim to the Wheel balancer -VAS 6202-.
–  Use the Wheel balancing machine centering system -VAS 5271-.
–  Connect the Tyre gauge -V.A.G 1435- with approximately 2 mm of pre-tension.
–  Turn the rim slowly.
   
–  Record the maximum and minimum amplitude of the needle.
S - Axial deviation of rim concentricity
H - Axial deviation of rim concentricity
–  Compare the value settled with the nominal values on the table → Anchor.
  Note
It is unnecessary to take into account the needle deviations of the Tyre gauge -V.A.G 1435- due to small irregularities.

  Note
If the value measured is higher than the nominal value, it will not be possible to reach an acceptable drive stability.
