Wheel Alignment and
Tire Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned
and balanced carefully at. the
factory
to give you the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will'not need to ha
your wheels aligned again. However,
if
you notice unusual tire wear or your
vehicle
pulling.one way or the. other, the
alignment may need
to be reset. 'If you
notice your vehicle vibrating when
driving on a smooth road, your wheels
may need to be rebalanced.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked
or badly ruste-d.
If wheel nuts keep
coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts,
and wheel nuts should be replaced.
If
the wheel leaks air out, replace it
(except some aluminum wheels, which
can sometimes be repaired). See your
Chevrolet dealer
if any of these
conditions exist.
Your dealer will know
the lund
of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same
load carrying capacity, diameter, width,
offset, and
be mounted the same way as
the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your
wheels, wheel bolts,
or wheel nuts,
replace them only with new GM original
equipment parts..This way, you will be
sure
to have the right wheel, wheel
bolts, and wheel
nuts for your Corvette.
