WHEELS AND TIRES SHOULDER WEAR CENTER WEAR (c) (4 FEATHERED EDGE TOE-IN OR TOE- UNEVEN WEAR OUT WEAR Troubleshooting guide Abnormal tire wear patterns, such as those shown in the illustration can occur. Refer to the chart for the possible causes and actions. d' Possible cause I Action I I Underinflation (both sides worn) I Measure and adjust pressure Overinflation Measure and adjust pressure Lack of rotation Rotate tires I Incorrect camber (one side worn) Hard cornering Lack of rotation Incorrect toe-in I Adjust toe-in I Repair or replace suspension parts Reduce speed Rotate tires 1. Cracks, damage, and foreign matter (such as metal pieces, nails, and stones) in the tire and cracks, deformation, and damage to the wheel. 2. Loose wheel lug nut(s). 3. Air leaking from valve stem. Incorrect camber or caster Malfunctioning suspension Unbalanced wheel Out-of-round brake drum or disc Other mechanical conditions Lack of rotation REMOVAL / INSTALLATION When reinstalling a wheel, retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque after about 1,000 km (620 miles} driv- ing. Repair or replace suspension parts Repair or replace Balance or replace Correct or replace Correct or replace Rotate tires Caution Applying oil to the lug nuts, bolts, or wheels will cause the lug nuts to become loosened. Tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque in a criss- cross fashion. Verify that the wheel-to-hub contact surfaces are clean.
