AFFECTED VEHICLES:
DESCRIPTION:
Wheel vibrations may occur if the wheel is not installed in the exact center position on the wheel hub. To avoid radial misalignment between the wheel
and the hub, they must have the same diameters.
It has been discovered on some cars that the wheel hubs (spare parts as well as production parts) may have a center cone with a too small outer diameter.
If a wheel is installed on such a hub, it is possible that the wheel is installed with an offset of 1.5 mm (0.059"), which can cause wheel vibrations while
driving.
SERVICE:
1. If a customer complains about wheel vibrations and it is hard or impossible to remedy the vibration with normal wheel balancing, then check and
measure the center cone diameter on the wheel hub.
Correct diameter = 65.0 mm (2.559")
Incorrect diameter found on some cars = 63.5 mm (2.500")
