Retighten wheel nuts until all are properly
torqued. This will prevent brake distortion.
Check radial runout. If still excessive, mark tire
sidewall, wheel, and stud at point of maximum
runout using an appropriate marking device (Fig. 3),
then proceed to Method 2.
METHOD 2 (RELOCATE TIRE ON WHEEL)
Rotating the tire on wheel is particularly effective
when there is runout in both the tire and the wheel.
Remove tire from wheel and remount wheel on hub
in former position.
Check the radial runout of the wheel (Fig. 4). The
radial runout of the wheel should be no more than
0.62 mm (0.024 inch).
Check the lateral runout of the wheel (Fig. 5). The
lateral runout should be no more than 0.800 mm
(0.031 inch).
If the point of the most radial wheel runout is near
the original chalk mark, remount the tire 45 degrees
from its original spot. Recheck runout.
