Poor Riding
Problems in the steering, the suspension, the tires, and
the wheels involve several systems. Consider all systems
when you diagnose a complaint. Some problems, such
as abnormal or excessive tire wear and scuffed tires,
may by the result of hard driving. Always road test thevehicle first. If possible, do this road test with the
customer.
Proceed with the following preliminary checks. Correct
any substandard conditions.

3. Road test the vehicle. If there is improvement, install
the original tires to find the offending tire. If there is
no a straight improvement, install good tires in place
of all four offending tires.
4. Install original tires one at a time to find the offending
tire.
RADIAL TIRE LEAD/PULL
Lead/pull is the deviation of the vehicle from a straight
path on a level road with no pressure on the steering
wheel. Lead is usually caused by:
lIncorrect alignment.
lUneven brake adjustment.
lTire construction.
The way in which a tire is built can produce lead/pull in
the vehicle.011-center belts on radial tires can cause
the tire to develop a side force while the vehicle rolls
straight down the road. If one side of the tire has even a
little larger diameter than the diameter of the other side,
the tire will tend to roll to one side. Unequal diameters
will cause the tire to develop a side force which can
produce vehicle lead/pull.
The radial lead/pull diagnosis chart should be used to
determine whether the problem originates from an
alignment problem or from the tires. Part of the lead
diagnosis procedure calls for tire rotation that is different
from the proper tire rotation pattern. If a medium- to high-
mileage tire is moved to the other side of the vehicle, be
sure to check for ride roughness. Rear tires will not cause
lead/pull.
