Wheel Replacement
~eplace any wheel that
is
bent. cracked,
or
badly ruslea
or corroded.
If
wheel
nuts
keep coming loose, the wheel,
wheel bolts
and
wheel nuts should be replaced. If the
wheel leaks air, replace
it
(except some aluminum
wheels, which can sometimes be repaired). See your
dealer
if
any
of
these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind
of
wheel
you
need.
Each new wheel should have the same load-carrying
capacity. diameter, width, offset and be mounted the
same way as
the
one it replaces.
If
you
need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts
or wheel nuts. replace them
only
with new
GM
original
equipment parts. This way, you will be sure to have the
right wheel, wheel bolts and wheel
nuts
for your
Cadillac model.
A
CAUTION:
Using
the
wrong replacement wheels, wheel
bolts or wheel nuts
on
your vehicle can be
dangerous. It could affect the braking and
handling
of
your vehicle, make your
tires
lose
air and make you lose control. You could have a
collision in which you or others could be injured.
Always use the correct wheel, wheel bolts and
wheel nuts for replacement.
NOTICE:
The wrong wheel can also cause problems with
bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer
or
odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper
height, vehicle ground clearance and tire or tire
chain clearance to the body and chassis.
See “Changing a Flat Tire” in the Index for more
information.
