RADIAL TIRE LEAD/PULL
Lead/pull is the deviation of the vehicle from a straight pathon a level road with no pressure on the steering wheel.
Lead is usually caused by:
S Incorrect alignment.
S Uneven brake adjustment.
S Tire construction.
The way in which a tire is built can produce lead/pull in the
vehicle. Off–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 diam-
eter 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 de-
termine whether the problem originates from an alignment
problem or from the tires. Part of the lead diagnosis proce-
dure 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.

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.
