Tire and wheel- wheel and tire systemTire and wheelWheel and tire systemInspection1. Check tire.(a) Check tire is worn and inflation pressure is proper.
Cold tire inflation pressure:
*1 It is used under the condition of speed below 160 km/h.
(b) Check tire run-out with dial indicator.
Tire run-out: 2. Adjust tire position.
Hint:see adjusting position of tire shown in the dia-
gram whether there is spare tire or not.3. Check wheel balance.(a) Check and adjust with off-the-car balancing machine.
(b) Check and adjust with in-the-car balancing machine if
necessary.
Unbalanced mass after adjusting: 4. Check axial clearance of front wheel bearing
(see Page 123).
5. Check end surface run-out of front wheel shaft hub
(see Page 123).
