Scheduled wheel alignment and wheel balancing are not
needed. However, if you notice unusual tire wear or
your vehicle pulling one way or the other, the alignment
may need to be reset.
If
you notice your vehicle
vibrating when driving
on
a smooth road, your wheels
may need to be rebalanced.
Wheel
Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked, or badly rusted
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
Oldsmobile retailer if any of these conditions exist.
Your retailer 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
Oldsmobile 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:
I
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.
