1. Check tires for wear and improper inflation.
2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If
deformed, remove wheel and check wheel runout.
a. Remove tire from wheel and mount wheel on a tire balance
machine.
b. Set dial indicator as shown in the illustration.
3. Check front wheel bearings for looseness.
4. Check front suspension for looseness.
STEEL WHEEL
1. Check tires for wear and improper inflation.
2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If
deformed, remove wheel and check wheel runout.
a. Remove tire from steel wheel and mount wheel on a tire balance
machine.
b. Set two dial indicators as shown in the illustration.
c. Set each dial indicator to 0.
d. Rotate wheel and check dial indicators at several points around
the circumference of the wheel.
e. Calculate runout at each point as shown below.
f. Select maximum positive runout value and the maximum nega-
tive value.
Add the two values to determine total runout.
In case a positive or negative value is not available, use the
maximum value (negative or positive) for total runout.
If the total runout value exceeds the limit, replace steel wheel.Wheel runout (Dial indicator value):
Refer toWT-6, "
SERVICE DATA AND SPECIFICA-
TIONS (SDS)"SFA975B
Radial runout = (A+B)/2 : 0.5 mm (0.020 in)
Lateral runout = (C+D)/2 : 0.8 mm (0.031 in)
Wheel runout:

c. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install
two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown.
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
3. Start wheel balancer again.
4. Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the
wheel balancer indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weights.
5. Start wheel balancer. Make sure that inner and outer residual
imbalance values are 5g (0.18 oz) each or below.
lIf either residual imbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.18 oz), repeat installation procedures.
Wheel balance (Maximum allowable imbalance):
RotationEES002L4
lFollow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals. Refer toMA-7, "GENERAL MAINTE-
NANCE".
lDo not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.
CAUTION:
When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
