2B-2 WHEEL ALIGNMENT
DIAGNOSIS
TIRE DIAGNOSIS Irregular and Premature Wear Irregular and premature tire wear has many causes. Some of them are incorrect inflation pressures, lack of regular rotation, poor driving habits, or improper wheelalignment. Rotate the tires if :
The front tire wear is different from the rear.
The left and right front tire wear is unequal.
The left and right rear tire wear is unequal, Check wheel alignment if :
The left and right front tire wear is unequal.
The wear is uneven across the tread of either fronttire.
The front tire treads are scuffed with “feather” edgeson the side of the tread ribs or blocks.
Tread Wear Indicators The original equipment tires have built-in tread wear indicators to show when the tires need replacement. These indicators appear as bands when the tire tread
depth becomes shallow. Tire replacement isrecommended when the indicators appear in three ormore grooves at six locations.
Radial Tire Waddle
Waddle is side-to-side movement at the front or rear of the vehicle. It is caused by the steel belt not being straightwithin the tire, or by excessive lateral runout of the tireor wheel. The vehicle must be road tested to determine which end of the vehicle has the faulty tire. The rear end of the vehicle will shake from side to side or “waddle” if the
waddle tire is on the rear of the vehicle. From the driver’ sseat, it feels as though someone is pushing on the sideof the vehicle. If the faulty tire is on the front of the vehicle, the waddle is more visual. The front sheet meld appears to be moving back and forth, and the drivers seat feelslike the pivot point in the vehicle.
Waddle can be diagnosed using the method of substituting known good tire and wheel assemblies onthe problem vehicle
1. Road test the vehicle to determine if the waddle is coming from the front or the rear of the vehicle.
2. Install good tires and wheels from a similar vehicle in place of those on the offending end of the problem vehicle. If the source of the waddle is not obvious, change the rear tires.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT 2B-5
VIBRATION DIAGNOSIS Wheel imbalance causes most highway speed vibration problems. A vibration can remain after dynamicbalancing because:
A tire is out of round.
A rim is out of round.
A tire stiffness variation exists.
Measuring tire and wheel free runout will uncover only part of the problem, All three causes, known as loadedradial runout, must be checked using method of substituting known good tire and wheel assemblies on the problem vehicle. Preliminary Checks Prior to performing any work, always road test the car and perform a careful visual inspection for:

Obvious tire and wheel runout.
Obvious drive axle runout.
Improper tire inflation.
Incorrect trim height.
Bent or damaged wheels.
Debris build-up on the tire or the wheel.
Irregular or excessive tire wear.
Improper tire bead seating on the rim,
Imperfections in the tires, including: tread deformations, separations, or bulges from impactdamage. Slight sidewall indentations are normal and
will not affect ride quality.
Tire Balancing Balance is the easiest procedure to perform and should be done first if the vibration occurs at high speeds. Do an off-vehicle, two-plane dynamic balance first to correct
any imbalance in the tire and wheel assembly. An on-vehicle finish balance will correct any brake drum,
rotor, or wheel cover imbalance, If balancing does not correct the high-speed vibration, or if the vibration occurs at low speeds, runout is the probable cause.

POWER STEERING SYSTEM 6A-5
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR ON-VEHICLE SERVICE INSPECTION Steering Wheel Freeplay Inspection Procedure
1. Start the engine and set the wheels in straight ahead position.
2. Slightly move the steering wheel to the left and right andmeasure steering wheel free play when the front wheel is
start to move. Notice
If exceeds specification, the steering column shaft
connections and steering linkage .clearance. Replace orrepair if necessary.
Steering Angle Inspection Procedure
1. Place the front wheel on a measuring tool.
2. Rotate steering wheel all the way right and left and measure steering angle Notice If out of standard, check or adjust toe-in.
Standard 33°37'

Outer
Steering Effort Inspection Procedure
1 Place a vehicle on the paved flat ground with front wheels in a straight ahead position.
2 Start the engine and run it at 1,000rpm.
3 Using a scale, measure the steering effort in both directions.
NoticeThe difference in steering effort of left and right should be within 0.6 kg.
Standard Max. 3.0kg
StandardMax. 30mm
