TORQUE STEER
A degree of torque steer to the right may be experienced
during the use of heavy throttle on some front–wheel drive
cars with drive axles of unequal length. This torque steer
to the right results from the right drive axle being longer
than the left drive axle, which creates a difference in the
drive axle angle. Cars with intermediate shaft assemblies
have axles of almost equal length.
A difference in the drive axle lengths results in more torque
toe–in in the left front wheel. You will notice the torque toe–
in when the vehicle accelerates from a standing start or at
lower speeds.
Inspection Procedure
1. Place a small piece of tape at the top center of the
steering wheel.2. Note the inches of steering wheel deflection re-
quired to keep the vehicle straight during heavy ac-
celeration.
3. Compare this finding with similar cars.
Factors that may cause torque steer to be more apparent
on a particular vehicle include:
S Variations in the tire and wheel assemblies. This
has the most significant effect on torque steer. A
slightly smaller diameter on the right front tire will
increase a right torque lead.
S Large differences in the right and the left front tire
pressure.
S Looseness in the control arm bushings, the tie rod
assemblies, or the steering gear mounting. This
looseness permits a front wheel to pull forward and
toe–in under a torque greater than the wheel on the
opposite side. A loose suspension component may
result in an opposite lead upon deceleration.

S A high front trim height. This height would increase
the drive axle angle and could cause wobble at
speeds between 24 to 48 km/h (15 to 30 mph).

DIAGNOSIS
TIRE DIAGNOSIS
Irregular and Premature Wear
Irregular and premature tire wear has many causes. Some
of them are incorrect inflation pressures, lack of regular
rotation, poor driving habits, or improper wheel alignment.
If the wheel alignment is reset because of tire wear, always
reset the toe as close to zero degrees as the specification
allows. Refer to ”Rear Toe Adjustment” in this section.
Rotate the tires if:
S The front tire wear is different from the rear.
S The left and right front tire wear is unequal.
S The left and right rear tire wear is unequal.
Check wheel alignment if:
S The left and right front tire wear is unequal.
S The wear is uneven across the tread of either front
tire.
S The front tire treads are scuffed with ”feather”
edges on the side of the tread ribs or blocks.
Tread Wear Indicators
The original equipment tires have built–in tread wear indi-
cators to show when the tires need replacement. These in-
dicators appear as bands when the tire tread depth be-
comes shallow. Tire replacement is recommended when
the indicators appear in three or more grooves at six loca-
tions.
Radial Tire Waddle
Waddle is side–to–side movement at the front or rear of
the vehicle. It is caused by the steel belt not being straight
within the tire, or by excessive lateral runout of the tire or
wheel. It is most noticeable at low speeds, 8 to 48 km/h (5
to 30 mph), but may appear as ride roughness at 80 to 113
km/h (50 to 70 mph).
The vehicle must be road tested to determine which end
of the vehicle has the faulty tire. The rear end of the vehicle
will shake from side to side or ”waddle” if the waddle tire
is on the rear of the vehicle. From the driver’s seat, it feels
as though someone is pushing on the side of the vehicle.
If the faulty tire is on the front of the vehicle, the waddle is
more visual. The front sheet metal appears to be moving
back and forth, and the driver’s seat feels like the pivot
point in the vehicle.
Waddle can be diagnosed using the method of substi–tut-
ing known good tire and wheel assemblies on the problem
vehicle.
1. Road test the vehicle to determine if the waddle is
coming from the front or the rear of the vehicle.
2. Install good tires and wheels from a similar vehicle
in place of those on the offending end of the prob-
lem vehicle. If the source of the waddle is not ob-
vious, change the rear tires.
3. Road test the vehicle. If there is improvement,
install the original tires to find the offending tire. If
there is no improvement, install good tires in place
of all four offending tires.

VIBRATION DIAGNOSIS
Wheel imbalance causes most highway speed vibration
problems. A vibration can remain after dynamic balancing
because:
S A tire is out of round.
S A rim is out of round.
S A tire stiffness variation exists.
Measuring tire and wheel free runout will uncover only part
of the problem. All three causes, known as loaded radial
runout, must be checked using method of substituting
known good tire and wheel assemblies on the problem ve-
hicle.
Low–speed vibrations, which occur below 64 km/h (40
mph), are usually caused by runout. High–speed vibra-
tions, which occur above 64 km/h (40 mph), can be caused
by either imbalance or runout.
Preliminary Checks
Prior to performing any work, always road test the car and
perform a careful visual inspection for:
S Obvious tire and wheel runout.
S Obvious drive axle runout.
S Improper tire inflation.
S Incorrect trim height.
S Bent or damaged wheels.
S Debris build–up on the tire or the wheel.
S Irregular or excessive tire wear.
S Improper tire bead seating on the rim.
S Imperfections in the tires, including: tread deforma-
tions, separations, or bulges from impact damage.
Slight sidewall indentations are normal and will not
affect ride quality.
Tire Balancing
Balance is the easiest procedure to perform and should be
done first if the vibration occurs at high speeds. Do an off–
vehicle, two–plane dynamic balance first to correct any im-
balance in the tire and wheel assembly.
An on–vehicle finish balance will correct any brake drum,
rotor, or wheel cover imbalance. If balancing does not cor-
rect the high–speed vibration, or if the vibration occurs at
low speeds, runout is the probable cause.
Runout
Runout can be caused by the tire, the wheel, or the way
the wheel is attached to the vehicle. To investigate the pos-
sibility of wheel runout, refer to the following procedures
as well as the wheel runout diagnosis chart in this section:
1. If runout is suspected, measure the on–vehicle free
lateral and free radial runout of the tire and wheel
assembly. Refer to Section 2E, Tires and Wheels.
Both the free lateral and the free radial runout
should be less than 1.5 mm (0.06 inch). If either
measurement exceeds this number, proceed to
Step 2.
2. Mount the tire and the wheel on a dynamic balanc-
ing machine and remeasure the free lateral and the
free radial runout. Record the amount of the free
lateral and the free radial runout and the location of
the highest measurement. Refer to Section 2E,
Tires and Wheels. If the free radial or the free later-
al runout exceeds 1.3 mm (0.05 inch) at the tire
tread, proceed to Step 4.
3. Measure the wheel runout. Refer to Section 2E,
Tires and Wheels. If the wheel exceeds specifica-
tions, replace it.
4. Deflate the tire and match–mount the high radial
runout point of the tire to the low radial runout point
of the wheel. Reinflate the tire and mount it on the
dynamic balancing machine. Measure and record
the free radial and the free lateral runout and their
locations. In many cases, match mounting the tire
on the wheel will bring the tire and wheel assem-
bly’s free runout into an acceptable range of 1.3
mm (0.05 inch) or less.
5. If the free runout of the tire and wheel assembly is
1.3 mm (0.05 inch) or less when it was measured
off the vehicle, yet exceeds 1.3 mm (0.05 inch)
when measured on the vehicle, the attachment of
the tire and wheel assembly to the hub is the prob-
able cause of the vibration. Rotate the assembly’s
two wheel studs and recheck the runout. Refer
toSection 2E, Tires and Wheels. Several positions
may have to be tried to find the best location for the
studs.
6. If the tire and wheel assembly free runout cannot
be reduced to 1.3 mm (0.05 inch) or less, remove
the assembly.
1) Measure the wheel stud runout using a dial
indicator set with a magnetic base.
2) Zero the dial indicator set button on one stud.
3) Gently lift the set button off the stud. Rotate
the flange to position the next stud against the
dial indicator set.
4) Record the runout of all the studs. The dial in-
dicator should read zero when it is repositioned
on the first stud that was checked.
5) If the runout exceeds 0.76 mm (0.03 inch), the
hub or the hub and bearing assembly should
be replaced.
