TIRE AND WHEEL
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT TIRE
(a) Check the tires for wear and proper inflation pressure.
Cold tire inflation pressure:
(Tire size: P175/65R14 84S)
FrontRear
240 kPa (2.4 kgf/cm2, 35 psi)230 kPa (2.3 kgf/cm2, 33 psi)
(b) Using a dial indicator, check the tire runout.
Tire runout: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.) or less
2. ROTATING TIRES
HINT:
See the illustration for where to rotate each tire.
3. INSPECT WHEEL BALANCE
(a) Check and adjust the Off±the±car balance.
(b) If necessary, check and adjust the On±the±car balance.
Imbalance after adjustment: 8.0 g (0.018 lb) or less
4. CHECK WHEEL BEARING LOOSENESS
(a) Using a dial indicator, check the backlash near the center
of the axle hub.
Maximum: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If the backlash exceeds the maximum, replace the bearing.
(b) Using a dial indicator, check the deviation at the surface
of the axle hub outside the hub bolt.
Maximum: 0.07 mm (0.0028 in.)
If the deviation exceeds the maximum, replace the axle hub.
