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 wheel alignment.
If the wheel alignment is reset because of tire wear, always
reset the toe as close to zero degrees as the specification
allows. Refer to ”Rear Toe Adjustment” in this section.
Rotate the tires if:
S The front tire wear is different from the rear.
S The left and right front tire wear is unequal.
S The left and right rear tire wear is unequal.
Check wheel alignment if:
S The left and right front tire wear is unequal.
S The wear is uneven across the tread of either front
tire.
S The front tire treads are scuffed with ”feather”
edges on the side of the tread ribs or blocks.
Tread Wear Indicators
The original equipment tires have built–in tread wear indi-
cators to show when the tires need replacement. These in-
dicators appear as bands when the tire tread depth be-
comes shallow. Tire replacement is recommended when
the indicators appear in three or more grooves at six loca-
tions.
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 straight
within the tire, or by excessive lateral runout of the tire or
wheel. It is most noticeable at low speeds, 8 to 48 km/h (5
to 30 mph), but may appear as ride roughness at 80 to 113
km/h (50 to 70 mph).
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’s seat, it feels
as though someone is pushing on the side of the vehicle.
If the faulty tire is on the front of the vehicle, the waddle is
more visual. The front sheet metal appears to be moving
back and forth, and the driver’s seat feels like the pivot
point in the vehicle.
Waddle can be diagnosed using the method of substi–tut-
ing known good tire and wheel assemblies on the 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 prob-
lem vehicle. If the source of the waddle is not ob-
vious, change the rear tires.
3. Road test the vehicle. If there is improvement,
install the original tires to find the offending tire. If
there is no improvement, install good tires in place
of all four offending tires.

trol arm bushings as needed.
FRONT TOE ADJUSTMENT
1. Disconnect the outer tie rods from the knuckle as-
semblies. Refer to Section 6C, Power Steering
Gear.
2. Turn the right and the left outer tie rods and the ad-
juster nuts to align the toe to 0.0 ± 0.10 degree.
3. Reconnect the outer tie rods to the knuckle assem-
blies. Refer to Section 6C, Power Steering Gear.
Notice : In this adjustment, the right and the left tie rods
must be equal in length, or the tires will wear unevenly.FRONT CAMBER AND CASTER
CHECK
The front camber and caster are not adjustable. Refer to
”Wheel Alignment Specifications” in this section. Jounce
the bumper three times before measuring the camber or
the caster in order to prevent an incorrect reading. If the
front camber or caster measurements deviate from the
specifications, locate and replace or repair any damaged,
loose, bent, dented, or worn suspension part. If the prob-
lem is body related, repair the body.
REAR CAMBER CHECK
The rear camber is not adjustable. Refer to ”Wheel Align-
ment Specifications” in this section. If the rear camber
deviates from the specification, locate the cause and cor-
rect it. If damaged, loose, bent, dented, or worn suspen-
sion parts are found, they should be repaired or replaced.
If the problem is body related, repair the body.

DIAGNOSIS
WHEEL RUNOUT
Measure wheel runout with an accurate dial indicator.
Measurements may be taken with the wheels either on or
off the vehicle, using an accurate mounting surface such
as a wheel balancer. Measurements may be taken with or
without the tire mounted on the wheel.
Measure radial runout and lateral runout on both the in-
board and the outboard rim flanges. With the dial indicator
firmly seated next to the wheel and tire assembly, slowly
rotate the wheel one revolution and record the indicator
reading. If any measurement exceeds the following speci-
fications and there is a vibration that wheel balancing will
not correct, replace the wheel. Disregard any indicator
readings due to welds, paint runs, or scratches.
Steel Wheels
S Radial runout: 0.8 mm (0.03 inch)
S Lateral runout: 1.0 mm (0.04 inch)
Alloy Wheels
S Radial runout: 0.25 mm (0.01 inch)
S Lateral runout: 0.25 mm (0.01 inch)
Measure free radial runout on the center of the tire tread.
The tread can be taped to present a smooth surface. Mea-
sure free lateral runout on the outboard side of the tire
nearest to the tread.

UNIT REPAIR
ALLOY WHEEL POROSITY
Wheel repairs that use welding, heating or peening are not
approved.
1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
2. Remove the wheel. Refer to ”Wheel” in this sec-
tion.
CAUTION : To avoid serious injury, do not stand over
the tire when inflating, because the bead may break
when it snaps over the safety hump. Do not exceed
275 kPa (40 psi) of air pressure in any tire if the beads
are not seated. If 275 kPa (40 psi) of air pressure will
not seat the beads, deflate the tire. Relubricate the
beads. Reinflate the tire. Overinflation may cause the
bead to break and cause serious injury.
3. Locate leaking areas by inflating the tire to 345 kPa
(50 psi) and dipping the tire and wheel assembly
into a water bath.
4. Mark the leak areas and remove the tire from the
wheel.
5. Scuff the inside wheel surface at the leak area with
80–grit sandpaper. Clean the leak area with a gen-
eral–purpose cleaner.
6. Apply a 3.3 mm (0.13 inch) thick layer of adhesive/
sealant to the leak area. Allow it to dry for 12 hours.
7. Install the tire on the wheel. Inflate the tire to 345
kPa (50 psi) and check for leaks as in step 3.
8. Adjust the tire pressure to meet specifications. Re-
fer to ”Tire Size and Pressure Specifications” in
this section.
9. Balance the wheel. Refer to ”Tire and Wheel Bal-
ancing” in this section.
10. Install the wheel. Refer to ”Wheel” in this section.
11. Lower the vehicle.
ALLOY WHEEL REFINISHING
A protective clear or color coating is applied to the surface
of the original equipment cast alloy wheels. Surface deg-
radation can develop if this clear coating is damaged or re-
moved. This can happen at some automatic car wash fa-
cilities that use silicon carbide–tipped tire brushes to clean
white walls and tires. Once the protective coating is dam-
aged, exposure to caustic cleaners or road salt causes fur-
ther surface degradation. The following procedure details
how to strip, clean and recoat alloy wheels.
CAUTION : To avoid serious personal injury, follow
the manufacturer’s recommendations and cautions
when using these materials.
Required materials:
S Amchem Alumi Prep No. 33. Stock No. DX533 or
equivalent cleaning and conditioning chemical for
alloys.

2E – 8ITIRES AND WHEELS
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
TIRE AND WHEEL
MATCH–MOUNTING
The tires and wheels are match–mounted at the assembly
plant. Match–mounting aligns the radially stiffest part of
the tire, or high spot, to the smallest radius, or low spot, of
the wheel.
The high spot of the tire is originally marked by a red paint
mark or an adhesive label on the outboard sidewall.
The low spot of the wheel will be at the location of the valve
stem.
Before dismounting a tire from its wheel, scribe a line on
the tire at the valve stem to assure that it is remounted in
the same position.
Replacement tires that are of original equipment quality
will have their high and low spot marked in the same man-
ner.
TIRE MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING
Notice : Use a tire–changing machine to mount or dis-
mount the tires. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s in-
structions. Do not use hand tools or tire irons to change
tires. These tools may damage the beads or the wheel rim.
1. Clean the rim bead seats with a wire brush or
coarse steel wool to remove lubricants, old rubber,
and light rust. Before mounting or dismounting a
tire, lubricate the bead area well with an approved
tire lubricant.
CAUTION : To avoid serious injury, do not stand over
the tire when inflating it, because the bead may break
when it snaps over the safety hump. Do not exceed
275 kPa (40 psi) of air pressure in any tire if the beads
are not seated. If 275 kPa (40 psi) of air pressure will
not seat the beads, deflate the tire. Relubricate the
bead and reinflate the tire. Overinflation may cause
the bead to break and cause serious injury.
2. fter mounting the tire, inflate it until the beads are
seated. Never exceed 275 kPa (40 psi) to seat the
beads.
3. Install the valve core and inflate the tire to the prop-
er pressure. Make sure the locating ring outside of
the bead of the tire shows around the rim flanges of
the wheel on both sides. This positioning of the tire
will insure that the bead of the tire is seated.

2E – 10ITIRES AND WHEELS
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
turers of tire chains have a specific chain size for each tire
size to ensure a proper fit when the chain is installed. Be
sure to purchase the correct chains for the tires on which
they are to be used. Use rubber adjusters to take up any
slack or clearance in loose chains.
Use of chains may adversely affect vehicle handling.
When tire chains are installed, follow these precautions:
S Adjust speed to road conditions.
S Avoid sharp turns.
S Avoid locked–wheel braking.
To prevent chain damage to the vehicle, install the chains
on the front tires as tightly as possible. Tighten them again
after driving 0.4 to 0.8 kilometer (0.3 to 0.5 mile). The use
of chains on the rear tires is not recommended because
they may contact the vehicle and possibly damage it. If
chains must be used on the rear tires, be sure there is suffi-
cient clearance between the chains and the body. Do not
exceed 70 km/h (45 mph) or the chain manufacturer’s
speed limit, if lower. Avoid large bumps, potholes, severe
turns and any other maneuvers which could cause the
tires to bounce. Follow any other instructions of the chain
manufacturer which do not disagree with the above in-
structions.
REPLACEMENT TIRES
A tire performance criteria (TPC) specification number is
molded in the sidewall near the tire size of all original
equipment tires. This specification number assures that
the tire meets performance standards for traction, endur-
ance, dimensions, noise, handling and rolling resis–tance.
Usually a specific TPC number is assigned to each tire
size.
CAUTION : Do not mix different types of tires on the
same vehicle such as radial, bias and bias–belted
tires except in emergencies, because vehicle han-
dling may be seriously affected and may result in loss
of control.
Use only replacement tires with the same size, load range,
and construction as the original. The use of any other tire
size or construction type may seriously affect ride, han-
dling, speedometer/odometer calibration, vehicle ground
clearance, and tire clearance to the body and the chassis.
This does not apply to the spare tire furnished with the ve-
hicle.
It is recommended that new tires be installed in pairs on
the same axle.
If it is necessary to replace only one tire, pair it with the tire
having the most tread to equalize the braking action.
Although they may appear different in tread design, tires
built by different manufacturers with identical TPC specifi-
cations may be used on the same vehicle.
ALL SEASON TIRES
Most vehicles are now equipped with steel–belted all sea-
son radial tires as standard equipment. These tires qualify
as snow tires, with a 37 percent higher average rating for
snow traction than the non–all season radial tires pre-
viously used. Other performance areas, such as wet trac-
tion, rolling resistance, tread life, and air retention, have
also been improved. This was done by improvements in
both tread design and tread compounds. These tires are
identified by an ”M + S” molded in the tire sidewall following
the size number. The suffix ”MS” is also molded in the side-
wall after the TPC specification number.
The optional handling tires used on some vehicles are not
all season tires. These will not have the ”MS” marking after
the tire size or the TPC specification number.
PASSENGER METRIC SIZED TIRES
All Daewoo vehicles now use Passenger (P) metric sized
tires. P–metric tires are available in two load ranges: stan-
dard load (35 psi maximum) and extra load (41 psi maxi-
mum). Most passenger vehicle tires are standard load.
Most P–metric tire sizes do not have exact corresponding
alphanumeric tire sizes. For example, a P175/70R13 is
not exactly equal in size and load–carrying capacity to an
FR70–13. For this reason, replacement tires should be of
the same TPC specification number as the originals. If P–
metric tires must be replaced with other sizes, consult a
tire dealer. Tire companies can best recommend the clos-
est match of alphanumeric to P–metric sizes within their
own tire lines.
The metric term for measuring tire inflation pressure is the
kilopascal (kPa). Tire pressure may be printed in both kPa
and psi. One psi equals 6.895 kPa.
See the tire label or refer to ”Tire Size and Pressure Speci-
fications” in this section for tire inflation pressures.
TIRE LABEL
The tire label is permanently located on the rear face of the
driver’s door and should be referred to for tire information.
It lists the maximum vehicle load, the tire size (including
the spare tire), and the cold inflation pressure (including
the spare tire).
SPARE TIRE
The notchback and the wagon come equipped with a full–
sized tire on a steel wheel. The hatchback comes
equipped with a reduced–sized temporary tire on a steel
wheel.
WHEELS
Wheels must be replaced if they are bent, dented, have
excessive lateral or radial runout, leak air through welds,
have elongated bolt holes, or if the wheel bolts won’t stay
tight or are heavily rusted. Wheels with excessive runout
may cause vehicle vibration. Replacement wheels must
be equivalent to the original equipment wheels in load ca-
