3F-4 WHEELS AND TIRES
Dynamic balance, as shown in left figure, is the equal distribution
of weight on each side of the wheel centerline so that when the
tire spins there is no tendency for the assembly to move from side
to side. Wheels that are dynamically unbalanced may cause
shimmy.
GENERAL BALANCE PROCEDURES
Deposits of mud, etc. must be cleaned from inside of rim.
Each tire should be inspected for any damage, then balanced according to equipment manufacturer’s recom-
mendation.
OFF-VEHICLE BALANCING
Most electronic off-vehicle balancers are more accurate than the on-vehicle spin balancers. They are easy to
use and give a dynamic (two plane) balance. Although they do not correct for drum or disc unbalance as does
on-vehicle spin balancing, this is overcome by their accuracy, usually to within 1/8 ounce.
ON-VEHICLE BALANCING
On-vehicle balancing methods vary with equipment and tool manufacturers. Be sure to follow each manufac-
turer’s instructions during balancing operation.
1. Heavy spot wheel shimmy [C] : Before correction
2. Balance weights addition point [D] : Corrective weights
3. C/L of spindle
WARNING:
Stones should be removed from the tread in order to avoid operator injury during spin balancing and
to obtain good balance.
WARNING:
Wheel spin should be limited to 35 mph (55 km/h) as indicated on speedometer.
This limit is necessary because speedometer only indicates one-half of actual wheel speed when one
drive wheel is spinning and the other drive wheel is stopped.
Unless care is taken in limiting drive wheel spin, spinning wheel can reach excessive speeds. This
can result in possible tire disintegration or differential failure, which could cause serious personal
injury or extensive vehicle damage.
CAUTION:
For vehicle equipped with ABS, using on-vehicle balancing method with ignition switch ON may set
malfunction diagnostic trouble code (DTC) of ABS even when system is in good condition.
Never turn ignition switch ON while spinning wheel.

5-2 BRAKES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
When the foot brake pedal is depressed, hydraulic pressure is developed in the master cylinder to actuate pis-
tons (two in front and four in rear).
The master cylinder is a tandem master cylinder. Brake pipes are connected to the master cylinder and they
make two independent circuits. One connects front right & rear left brakes and the other connects front left &
rear right brakes.
The load sensing proportioning valve (LSPV) or the proportioning valve (P valve) is included in these circuits
between the master cylinder and the rear brake for the vehicle without ABS.
In this brake system, the disc brake type is used for the front wheel brake and a drum brake type (leading/trailing
shoes) for the rear brake.
The parking brake system is mechanical. It applies brake force to only rear wheels by means of the cable and
mechanical linkage system. The same brake shoes are used for both parking and foot brakes.
