Note
This condition can fluctuate as left and right tires phase in and out.
-
check that surfaces of tires are free of damage such as scuffing and flat areas
-
check that suspension components are not damaged or worn
Note
If a component is replaced, check and align front suspension as necessary.
-
clean wheels and tires of accumulated mud or dirt
CAUTION
Even a small amount of imbalance in the wheels can lead to steering wobble. Thus, great care must be taken with all operations dealing with the
elimination of imbalance.
Work sequence
-
check radial and lateral runout of both steel and alloy wheel and tire assemblies as follows:
Note Peak readings, up or down, which are caused by small imperfections on tire surface should be ignored.
^
maximum radial runout: 0.8 mm (0.032 in.)
-
set up the dial gauge so that needle is just making contact with center of tire wall. Slowly rotate the wheel by hand; read off needle deflection
^
maximum lateral runout: 1.2 mm (0.047 in.)
If radial and lateral runout figures are within prescribed limits, remove existing balance weights and balance wheels.
CAUTION
