Inspection EES000IJ

ALUMINUM WHEEL
1. Check tires for wear and improper inflation.
B
2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If
deformed, remove wheel and check wheel runout.
a. Remove tire from aluminum wheel and mount on a tire balance
C
machine.
b. Set dial indicator as shown in the illustration.

STEEL WHEEL
1. Check tires for wear and improper inflation.
2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If F
deformed, remove wheel and check wheel runout.
a. Remove tire from steel wheel and mount wheel on a tire balance
machine. G
b. Set two dial indicators as shown in the illustration.
c. Set each dial indicator to 0.
d. Rotate wheel and check dial indicators at several points around H
the circumference of the wheel.
e. Calculate runout at each point as shown below.
I
Radial runout = (A+B)/2 :0.5 mm (0.020 in)
Lateral runout = (C+D)/2 :0.8 mm (0.031 in)
f. Select maximum positive runout value and the maximum nega- J
tive value.
Add the two values to determine total runout.
In case a positive or negative value is not available, use the K
maximum value (negative or positive) for total runout.
If the total runout value exceeds the limit, replace steel wheel.

 ROAD WHEEL TIRE ASSEMBLY

ROAD WHEEL TIRE ASSEMBLY PFP:40300

Rotation EES000IL

After rotating the tires, adjust the tire pressure.

Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle has been driven for
1,000 km (600 miles) (also in cases of a flat tire, etc.).
CAUTION:
When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
Tightening torque of wheel nut:
98 - 118Nm (10 - 12 kgm, 72 - 87 ftlb)
