TROUBLESHOOTING
WHEEL AND TYRE31-4
WHEEL BALANCE ACCURACYM1311001700247
PURPOSE
This section contains tips and procedures for
achieving accurate wheel balance. Steering wheel
vibration and/or body shake can result if any of these
procedures are not carefully observed.
1. Wheels and tyres must be properly mounted on a
balancer in order to achieve correct balance.
Centring the wheel on the shaft of the balancer is
essential for proper mounting.
2. Off-the-car wheel balancers must be calibrated
periodically to ensure good balancing results. An
inaccurately calibrated balancer could cause
unnecessary replacement of tyres, shocks,
suspension components, or steering components.
Check your balancer's calibration approximately
every 100 balances. Your wheel balancer's
instruction manual should include calibration
procedures. If the calibration procedures specifically
for your balancer are missing, use the generic steps
in this section for zero calibration, static balance, and
dynamic balance checks. The wheel balancer
calibration checks are also described in the
flowchart. (Refer to P.31-6).
PROCEDURE
1. Confirm that the balancer's cone and the wheel
mounting cone are undamaged and free of dirt
and rust.
2. On this vehicle, the wheel's centre hole on the
hub side has a chamfered edge. Use a
back-mounting cone on your wheel balancer to
centre the wheel on the balancer shaft.
3. Install a wheel mounting cone. The appropriate
size cone for this vehicle is 67.0 mm.
4. Before balancing the wheel, remove any wheel
weights from both sides. Also check both sides for
any damage.
5. When installing wheel weights, hammer them at a
straight (not diagonal) angle. Scalloped

or out-of-alignment suspensionRotate the tyres, and

NOTE: For information on tyre inflation pressure,
refer to the label attached to the centre pillar on the
driver's side.
TYRE WEAR CHECKM1311001000334
Measure the tread depth of the tyres.
Minimum limit: 1.6 mm
If the remaining tread depth is less than the minimum
limit, replace the tyre.
NOTE: When the tread depth of the tyres is reduced
to 1.6 mm or less, wear indicators will appear.
WHEEL RUNOUT CHECKM1311001100353
Jack up the vehicle so that the wheels are clear of
the floor. While slowly turning the wheel, measure
wheel runout with a dial indicator.
Limit:
If wheel runout exceeds the limit, replace the wheel.
