WHEEL AND TYRE -Troubleshooting31-5
DIf the imbalance is 5 g or less, the zero
calibration is OK. Rebalance the wheel, then
go to Step 4 to check static balance.
DIf the imbalance is more than 5 g, go to Step
3.
3. Loosen the balancer wing nut, rotate the wheel
1/4 turn (90°), and retighten the nut. Recheck
the wheel balance.
DIf the imbalance is 5 g or less, the wheel may
not be centered on the balancer, or the
balancing cones, the cup, and/or wing nut are
damaged, dirty, or inappropriate for the wheel.
You may need to refer to the balancer
manufacturer’s instructions to verify the correct
attachments. after making the necessary
corrections, recheck the wheel balance. If OK,
then go to Step 4.
DIf the imbalance is more than 5 g, the balancer
requires calibration. Contact the balancer
manufacturer for calibration by their repair
representative.
4.<>
Attach a 5-g weight to the outer rim. Recheck
the balancer. The balancer should detect 5±2
g of imbalance 170°to 190°away from both the
inner and outer 5-g weights.DIf the imbalance is within specification, the static
balance calibration is correct. Go to Step 5
to check the dynamic balance.
DIf the imbalance is out of specification, the
balancer requires calibration. Contact the
balancer manufacturer for calibration by their
repair representative.
5.<>
Attach a 5-g weight to the inner rim at 180°
opposite the 5-g weight that was added in step
4. Recheck the balance. The balancer should
detect 5±2g of imbalance 170°to 190°away
from both the inner and outer 5-g weights.
DIf the imbalance is within specification, the
dynamic balance calibration is correct. The
balancer calibration checks are complete.
DIf the imbalance is out of specification, the
balancer requires calibration. Contact the
balancer manufacturer for calibration by their
repair representative.
WHEEL BALANCER CALIBRATION CHECKING FLOW CHART

Balance wheel.
Rotate wheel 1/2 turn.Imbalance = more than 5 g
Imbalance = 5 g or lessRotate wheel 1/4 turn.Imbalance = more than 5 g
Imbalance = 5 g or less
Verify wheel is properly centered.
Verify cones, cup, & wing nut are clean,
undamaged, & appropriate for wheel.
Make necessary corrections, then
recheck wheel balance.
Attach a 5 g weight to the outer rim.
Is the imbalance 5±2 at 170°-190°

3. Confirm that the toe-in is at the standard value.
4. Use a turning radius gauge to check that the steering
angle is at the standard value.

Outer wheels (for reference)27_15’
TOE-OUT ANGLE ON TURNS
To check the steering linkage, especially after the vehicle
has been involved in an accident or if an accident is presumed,
it is advisable to check the toe-out angle on turns in addition
to the wheel alignment.
Conduct this test on the left turn as well as on the right turn.

SELECTION THE CAMBER
Select the camber by the installation direction of the allow
of the connecting bolt of the strut assembly and the knuckle.

BALL JOINT DUST COVER CHECK
1. Check the dust cover for cracks or damage by pushing
it with finger.
2. If the dust cover is cracked or damaged, replace the
lower arm assembly.
NOTE
Cracks or damage of the dust cover may cause damage
of the ball joint.
