ALUMINUM WHEEL
1. Check tires for wear and improper inflation.
2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If deformed, remove wheel and check wheel
runout.
a. Remove tire from aluminum wheel and mount on a tire balance machine.
b. Set dial indicator as shown in the figure.
c. If the lateral deflection (A) or vertical deflection (B) for radial
runout value exceeds the limit, replace aluminum wheel.
STEEL WHEEL
1. Check tires for were and improper inflation.
2. Check wheels for deformation, clacks and other damage. If deformed, remove wheel and check wheel
runout.
a. Remove tire from steel wheel and mount wheel on a tire balance machine.
b. Set two dial indicators as shown in the illustration.
c. Set each dial indicator to “0”.
d. Rotate wheel and check dial indicators at several points around
the circumference of the wheel.
e. Calculate runout at each point as shown below.
f. Select maximum positive runout value and the maximum nega-
tive value. Add the two values to determine total runout.
CAUTION:
In case a positive or negative value is not available, use the
maximum value (negative or positive) for total runout.
g. If the total runout value exceeds limit, replace steel wheel.Limit
