WARNING: REPLACEMENT WITH USED WHEELS
IS NOT RECOMMENDED. THE SERVICE HISTORY
OF THE RIM MAY HAVE INCLUDED SEVERE TREAT-
MENT OR VERY HIGH MILEAGE. THE RIM COULD
FAIL WITHOUT WARNING.
TIRE AND WHEEL RUNOUT
NOTE: Runout should always be measured off the
vehicle and on a suitable balance machine.
Radial run out is the difference between the high
and low points on the outer edge of the tire or wheel.
Lateral run out is the total side±to±side wobble of
the tire or wheel.
Radial run out of more than 0.762 mm (.030 inch)
measured at the center line of the tread may cause
the vehicle to shake.
Lateral run out of more than 0.762 mm (.030 inch)
measured at the side of the tire as close to the tread
as possible may cause the vehicle to shake.
Sometimes radial run out can be reduced by relo-
cating the wheel and tire on the wheel studs (See
Method 1). If this does not reduce run out to an
acceptable level, the tire can be rotated on the wheel.
(See Method 2).
METHOD 1 (RELOCATE WHEEL ON HUB)
Check accuracy of the wheel mounting surface;
adjust wheel bearings.
Drive vehicle a short distance to eliminate tire flat
spotting from a parked position.
Verify all wheel nuts are properly torqued (Fig. 2).
Use run out gauge D-128-TR to determine run out
(Fig. 3).
Relocate the wheel on the mounting studs, two
studs over from the original position.
Retighten wheel nuts until all are properly
torqued. This will prevent brake distortion.Check radial run out. If still excessive, mark tire
sidewall, wheel, and stud at point of maximum run
out (Fig. 4) and proceed to Method 2.
METHOD 2 (RELOCATE TIRE ON WHEEL)
Rotating tire on wheel is particularly effective
when there is run out in both tire and wheel.
Remove tire from wheel and remount wheel on hub
in former position.
Check the radial run out of the wheel (Fig. 5). The
radial run out should be no more than 0.5 mm (0.020
inch) for steel wheels and 0.38 mm (0.015 inch) for
cast aluminum wheels.
Check the lateral run out of the wheel (Fig. 6). The
lateral runout should be no more than 0.8 mm (0.032
inch).
If the point of greatest wheel radial run out is near
the original chalk mark, remount the tire on the rim
180 degrees from its original position. Recheck the
run out. If this does not reduce the run out to an
acceptable level, replace the wheel and/or the tire.

SERVICE PROCEDURES
WHEEL INSTALLATION
To install the wheel, first position it properly on
the mounting surface of the hub using the hub pilot
as a guide. All wheel nuts should be lightly tightened
before progressively tightening them in the proper
sequence (Fig. 7). Then fully tighten the wheel nuts
in the proper sequence (Fig. 7) to a torque of 135
N´m (100 ft. lbs.). Never use oil or grease on studs or
nuts.
TIRE AND WHEEL BALANCE
Balancing need is indicated by vibration of seats,
floor pan, or steering wheel. The vibration will be
noticed mostly when driving over 90 km/h (55 mph)
on a smooth road.
It is recommended that a two plane dynamic bal-
ancer be used when a wheel and tire assembly
require balancing. Static balancing should be used
only when a two plane balancer is not available.
Off-vehicle tire and wheel balancing is recom-
mended to be used on this vehicle.
NOTE: If on vehicle equipment is being used to bal-
ance the tire /wheel assemblies, remove the oppo-
site tire/wheel from the vehicle.
For static balancing, find the location of heavy spot
on tire/wheel causing the imbalance. Counter balance
wheel directly opposite the heavy spot. Determine
weight required to counterbalance the area of imbal-
ance. Place half of this weight on theinnerrim
flange and the other half on theouterrim flange
(Fig. 8).
For dynamic balancing, the balancing equipment is
designed to indicate the location and amount of
weight to be applied to both the inner and outer rim
flanges (Fig. 9).

located on the right, outboard side of the underbody,
rearward of the rear wheel and tire. (Fig. 5)
(4) Remove (3) straps securing underbody lines.
(Fig. 1)
(5) Separate and remove a/c lines from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
(1) Before installation, replace all O-rings and gas-
kets. Coat all sealing surfaces with approved wax-
free refrigerant oil. Then, reverse the above
procedures.
(2) Evacuate and recharge system.
REAR HEATER A/C AIR OUTLETS
REMOVAL
Separate barrel from bezel by pulling outward.
INSTALLATION
For installation, push the outlet firmly into the
opening until it locks into place.
REAR HEATER-A/C AUXILIARY CONDENSER
If vehicle is equipped with a 3.3L or 3.8L engine
with rear heater and air conditioning, it will be
equipped with an auxiliary condenser. The auxiliarycondenser is mounted on the primary condenser in
front of the radiator. Both condenser must be
removed as an assembly and then separated.
WARNING: THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM MUST
BE COMPLETELY EMPTY BEFORE PROCEEDING
WITH THIS OPERATION.
NOTE: Special effort must be used to keep all
R-134a system components moisture-free. Moisture
in the oil is very difficult to remove and will cause a
reliability problem with the compressor.
The condenser assembly must first be removed
from vehicle. Refer to CONDENSER ASSEMBLY
removal and installation in this section for service
procedures.
REMOVAL
(1) After condenser assembly removal, place on
bench for disassembly.
(2) Remove (1) bolt to liquid line on auxiliary con-
denser.
(3) Remove (4) attaching bolts and separate auxil-
iary from primary condenser. (Fig. 15)
INSTALLATION
(1) Before installation, replace all O-rings and gas-
kets. Coat all sealing surfaces with approved wax-
free refrigerant oil. Then, reverse the above
procedures.
(2) Evacuate and recharge system.
