1. INSPECT TIRE

  1. Check the tires for wear and proper inflation pressure.
    Cold tire inflation pressure 
    Tire size
    		For driving under 180 km/h (112 mph)
    kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)
    		For driving at over 180 km/h (112 mph)
    kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)
    235/55R18 99V
    		220 (2.2, 32)
    		230 (2.3, 34)
    235/55R18 100V
    		220 (2.2, 32)
    		230 (2.3, 34)

  1. Using a dial indicator, check the tire runout (vertical and horizontal).

    Tire runout:
    1.0 mm (0.039 in.) or less



2. ROTATE TIRES


    F049470E01

  1. See the illustration for where to rotate each tire.



3. INSPECT WHEEL BALANCE


    C080976

  1. Check and adjust the off-the-car balance.

  1. If necessary, check and adjust the on-the-car balance.

    Imbalance after adjustment:
    8.0 g (0.018 lb) or less



4. INSPECT BEARING LOOSENESS


    C108155

  1. Using a dial indicator, check for looseness near the center of the axle hub.

    Maximum:
    0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)

    NOTICE:
    Ensure that the dial indicator is set at right angles to the measurement surface.

    HINT:
    If looseness exceeds the maximum, replace the bearing.



5. INSPECT AXLE HUB RUNOUT


    C108156

  1. Using a dial indicator, check for runout on the surface of the axle hub outside the hub bolt.

    Maximum:
    0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)

    NOTICE:
    Ensure that the dial indicator is set at right angles to the measurement surface.

    HINT:
    If runout exceeds the maximum, replace the axle hub.
