â– WHEELS
Wheel Alignment and Tire
Balancing
If there is unusual tire wear or if the
vehicle pulls one way or the other,
the alignment may need to be
reset.
If the vehicle vibrates when you
are driving on a smooth road, the
wheels may need to be balanced.
If your vehicle is a CTS-V model,
only use adhesive wheel weights
to balance the wheels.
See your dealer or a qualified
technician for service.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent,
cracked, or badly rusted or
corroded. If wheel nuts keep
coming loose, the wheel, wheel
nuts and wheel bolts should be
replaced.
While some aluminum wheels can
be repaired, other types of wheels
should be replaced if they leak air.
Use only new, GM original
equipment. See your dealer for
assistance.
Using a wheel size other than the
size originally installed on your
vehicle may cause problems or
damage to various vehicle
systems, such as braking, ride and
handling, and resistance to roll-
over, and to electronic systems like
antilock brakes, traction control
and stability control.
NOTICE
The wrong wheel can cause
problems with bearing life,
brake cooling, speedometer or
odometer calibration, headlight
aim, bumper height, vehicle
ground clearance and tire clear-
ance to the body and chassis.
CAUTION
Using the wrong replacement
parts could be dangerous. It
could affect the braking and
handling of your vehicle. You
could lose control of the vehicle
and you or others may be
injured.
