Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine GENERAL INFORMATION
Description
Tires are designed and engineered for each specific vehicle. They provide the best overall performance for normal
operation. The ride and handling characteristics match the vehicle’s requirements. With proper care they will give
excellent reliability, traction, skid resistance, and tread life.
Tire Identification
•Tire type, size, load index and speed rating are encoded in the letters and numbers imprinted on the side wall
of the tire.
Spare Tire
• A full size spare tire and wheel assembly is standard equipment on this vehicle. The original tire should be
repaired or replaced at the first opportunity, then reinstalled.
Operation
Driving habits have more effect on tire life than any other factor. Careful drivers will obtain, in most cases, much
greater mileage than severe use or careless drivers. A few of the driving habits which will shorten the life of any tire
are:
•Rapid acceleration
• Severe application of brakes
• High-speed driving
• Taking turns at excessive speeds
• Striking curbs and other obstacles
• Operating vehicle with over or under inflated tire pressures

Vehicle Inspection
Visual inspection of the vehicle is recommended prior to road testing or performing any other procedure. Raise the
vehicle on a suitable hoist.
Inspect the following:
•Inspect tires and wheels for damage, mud packing and unusual wear; correct as necessary.
• Check and adjust tire pressure to the pressure listed on the label attached to the driver’s door opening.
Tire and Wheel Vibration
Tire and wheel imbalance, runout and force variation can cause vehicles to exhibit steering wheel vibration.
NOTE :
Balance equipment must be calibrated and maintained per equipment manufacturer’s specifications.
Tire Wear Patterns
Tire wear patterns can be traced to the following tire conditions:
•Under inflation will cause wear on the shoulders of tire.
• Over inflation will cause wear at the center of tire.
• Excessive camber causes the tire to run at an angle to the road. One side of tread is then worn more than the
other.
• Excessive toe-in or toe-out causes wear on the tread edges and a feathered effect across the tread.
NOTE :
Tread wear indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. When tread depth is 1.6 mm, the tread wear
indicators will appear as a band. Tire replacement is necessary when indicators appear in two or more grooves, or
if localized balding occurs.
Wheel Out-Of-Round Inspection
• Raise vehicle and securely support it.
• Attach a dial indicator on the edge of the rim and measure its unevenness.
• Replace the rim if necessary.10

Review this troubleshooting chart any time a power steering system problem is present. This chart will help deter-
mine if the power steering pump or power steering gear is functioning properly.
CONDITIONPOSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTION
Steering Wheel Is Loose · Steering wheel retaining bolt loose.
· Loose steering column to
instrument panel fasteners.· Check steering wheel retaining bolt
torque and tighten to specifications if
necessary.

Vehicle Inspection
There is some noise in all power steering systems. One of the most common is a hissing sound. Hiss is a high
frequency noise similar to that of a water tap being closed slowly. The noise is present in all valves that have a high
velocity steering fluid passing through an orifice. There is no relationship between this noise and steering perfor-
mance. The hissing sound is commonly heard during the following operations:
•Evident at a standstill
• At park with the engine running
• When the steering wheel is at the end of its travel

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine lining against the inner surface of the disc brake rotor. At the same time, fluid pressure within the piston bore forces
the caliper to slide inward on the slide pins. This action brings the outboard brake pad lining into contact with the
outer surface of the disc brake rotor.
Removal & Installation
1. Using a brake pedal holding tool, depress the brake pedal past its first 25 mm of travel and hold it in this posi-tion. This will isolate the master cylinder from the brake hydraulic system and will not allow the brake fluid to
drain out of the master cylinder reservoir when the lines are opened.
2. Raise and support the vehicle.
3. Remove the wheel mounting nuts and the tire and wheel assembly. (Tighten: Wheel mounting nuts to 110 N·m)
4. Using a large C-clamp (2), push the caliper piston to an adequate depth to remove the brake caliper
(1) from the brake disc.
5. Remove the front brake hose from the front brake caliper. (Tighten: Front caliper brake hose to 19 N·m)
6. Remove the front caliper guide pin bolts (1). (Tighten: Front caliper guide pin bolts to 23 N·m)
7. Slide the front brake caliper from the disc brake adapter bracket and remove.
8. Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Installation Notes:
• Completely retract the caliper piston back into the bore of the caliper.
• After installation, bleed the caliper as necessary.
Rear Brake Caliper
Description
The rear disc brakes consist of fixed single piston style calipers and solid rotors. The rear caliper is mounted to the
rear wheel hub. The calipers are directly bolted to the wheel hub with mounting bolts. The disc brake rotor dust shield
is mounted to the hub. The brake rotor has a built in drum used for the parking brakes. The parking brake shoes are
mounted to the wheel hub.
