Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
I
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 have 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 Rephcement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly corroded. If wheel nuts
keep coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts should be
replaced.
If the wheel leaks air, replace it (except some aluminum wheels,
I which can sometimes be repaired). See your Cadillac dealer if any of
these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind
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
Cadillac model.
