1. |
Jack up the vehicle and support it with jack
stands. |
2. |
Measure the wheel runout with a dial indicator
as illustrated. |

1. |
Replace the wheel if the wheel runout exceeds
the limit.
Wheel runout
[Limit]
Steel wheeel
Radial 0.6mm (0.028 in.) : (Average of
LH & RH)
Axial 1.0mm (0.039 in.)
Aluminum wheel
Radial 0.3mm (0.012 in.)
Axial 0.3mm (0.012
in.)

TIGHTENING WHEEL NUT
1. |
Tightening torque
Steel and aluminum alloy wheel
Specified
torque
90~110 Nm (900~1,100 kgf•cm, 65~80
lbf•ft)
|
When using an impact gun, final
tightening torque should be checked using a torque
wrench. |

|
2. |
Tightening order
Check the torque again after tightening the
wheel nuts diagonally.

|
WHEEL ROTATION
Rotate the tires in the
pattern illustrated.
When rotating the 215/45 R17 tires, ensure to
follow the "ROTATION"direction marked on the sidewall of
tires.
When rotating the tires of the left and right,
seperate the wheel from the tire and then re-assemble
them. |
CHECKING FOR PULL AND WANDER
1. |
If the steering pulls to one side, rotate the
tires according to the following wheel rotation
procedure.
A. |
Rotate the front right and front left
tires, and perform a road test in order to confirm vehicle
stability.

|
B. |
If the steering pulls to the opposite
side, rotate the front and rear tires, and perform a road test
again.

|
C. |
If the steering continues to pull to one
side, rotate the front right and left tires again, and perform
a road test.

|
D. |
If the steering continues to pull to the
opposite side, replace the front wheels with new
ones.

| |
2. |
On some vehicles which dirft or pull to the
right only, the following procedure may be applied for
fixing.
A. |
Adjust tire pressure as recommended
below (4 tire) prior to conducting road test.
Tire inflation pressure : 2.1
kgf/cm² (30 psi)
215/45 R 17 tire only : 2.2
kgf/cm² (32 psi)
| |
B. |
To eliminate the pulling, rotate the
front tires and test drive the vehicle to see if the pulling
returns. |
C. |
If a vehicle still exhibits the pulling
to the right, replace the right front strut insulator with the
redesigned new part (Part No. 54610-2C000A) which increases
the caster angle. (see page SS-11)
• |
This procedure applies to
the vehicle pulls to the right
only. |
• |
Confirm the direction of the
vehicle pulling by road testing prior to
performing the repair
procedure. |
• |
If 'Michelin' tires are
installed, do not rotate the tires because they
are directional. Replace the right front strut
insulator
only. | | | |
