TROUBLESHOOTING
WHEEL AND TYRE31-4
WHEEL BALANCE ACCURACY
M1311001700247
PURPOSE
This section contains tips and procedures for achiev-
ing accurate wheel balance. Steering wheel vibration
and/or body shake can result if any of these proce
-
dures 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 instruc
-
tion manual should include calibration procedures. If
the calibration procedures specifically for your bal
-
ancer are missing, use the generic steps in this sec-
tion 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
POWER PLANT MOUNT32-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M1321000100340
The engine mounting system employs the inertial
axis four-point suspension method, which is field
proven.
•The optimised locations of the front and rear roll
mounts well distribute their loads thereby reduc
-
ing engine idling vibrations.
•The fore-and-aft, liquid-filled engine mount of cyl-
inder type is adopted to reduce engine shake for
improved riding comfort.

CAUTION
•Before removing the steering wheel and air bag module assembly, always refer to GROUP 52B -
Service Precautions
P.52B-5, Air bag Module and Clock Spring P.52B-194. Also, set the front
wheels so that they are facing straight forward, and remove the ignition key. If you fail to do this,
the SRS clock spring will be damaged, causing the SRS air bag to be inoperative and serious
injury.
