CHECK THE TRAILING ARMS
a.Inspect the trailing arm bushings for wear or damage. Check for loose
trailing arm bolts.
b. Inspect for twisted or bent trailing arms.
● Are the trailing arms loose, damaged or worn ?
→ YES
Repair or Install new components as necessary. Test the system for
normal operation.
→ NO
Suspension system is OK. Conduct diagnosis on other suspect systems.
DETAILED TEST C : WHEEL AND TIRE CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS
ROAD TEST THE VEHICLE
Wheel or tire vibrations felt in the steering wheel are most likely related
to the front wheel or tire. Vibration felt through the seat are most likely
related to the rear wheel or tire. This may not always be true, but it can
help to isolate the problem to the front or rear of the vehicle.
Test drive the vehicle at different speed ranges.
During the road test, if the vibration can be eliminated by placing the
vehicle in neutral or is affected by the speed of the engine, the cause is not
the wheels or tires.
● Is there a vibration and noise ?
→ YES
Go to C2.
→ NO
The wheel and tires are OK. Conduct a diagnosis on other suspect
systems.
CHECK THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS Check the front wheel bearings.
Refer to Wheel Bearing Check (See DS group - front axle).
● Are the wheel bearings OK ?
→ YES
Go to C3.
→ NO
Inspect the wheel bearings. Adjust or Repair as necessary. Test the system
for normal operation.
INSPECT THE TIRES
a.Check the tires for missing weights.
b. Check the wheels for damage.

a.Substitute a known good set of wheels and tires.
b. Perform a road test.
c. If the vehicle still exhibits a shake or vibration, note the vehicle speed
and/or engine rpm which it occurs.
● Is the vibration felt ?
→ YES
Engine/transmission imbalance.
See the specification of TR group, EM group, FL group and EC group.
→ NO
Install the original tire/wheel assemblies one by one, Road testing at
each step until the damaged tire(s)/wheel(s) as necessary. Test the
system for normal operation.
Wheel /tire noise, vibration and harshness concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out - of- balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more than one speed. A
vibration that is affected by the engine rpm, or is eliminated by placing the transmission in Neutral is not related to the
tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and
wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially
isolate a concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can be caused by damaged or
worn tire and wheels. Perform a careful visual inspection of the tires and wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and
watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions WHEEL AND TIRE DIAGNOSIS
Rapid wear at the center Rapid wear at both shoulders Wear at one shoulder
a.Center - tread down to fabric due to
excessive over inflated tires
b. Lack of rotation

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY
1. Start the engine and with the steering wheel in the straight ahead position.
2. Measure the play while turning the steering wheel to the left and right.
Standard value :
Steering wheel free play : 30 mm (1.1 in)
3.If the play exceeds the standard value, inspect the connection between the steering shaft and tie rod ends.
CHECKING STEERING ANGLE
1.Place the front wheel on a turning radius gauge and measure the steering angle.
Standard value
VRS on Inner
38.64 °
Outer 31.78 °
VRS off Inner
41.91 °
Outer 33.54 °
2. If the measured value is not within the standard value, adjust the toe and inspect again.
CHECKING THE TIE ROD END BALL JOINT STARTING TORQUE
1.Disconnect tie rod and knuckle with the special tool (09568- 4A000).
