Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced
carefully at the factory to give you the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to have your wheels
aligned again. However,
if you notice unusual tire wear
or
your vehicle pulling one way or tlie other, the
ahgnment may need to be reset. If you notice your'
vehicle vibrating when driving on a smooth road, your wheels may need' to be rebalanced.

Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that.is bent, cracked, or badly rusted
or corroded. If wheel nuts keep coming loose, the wheel,
wheel bolts and wheel nuts should be replaced. If the
wheel leaks air, replace it (except some alumhum
wheels, which can sometimes be repaired). See
your
Pontiac dealer if any of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel you need.
.- 1' . . , . .. ;
Each new wheel should have the same load-carrying
capacity, diameter, width, offset and be mounted the same way as the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts
or wheel nuts, replace them
only with new GM origipal
equipment parts.
This way, you will be sure to have
the right wheel, wheel bolts and wheel 'nuts for your
Pontiac model.

Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel bolts
or wheel
nuts on your vehicle can be dangerous.

vehicle, make your tires lose air and make
you
lose control. You could have a collision in which
you or others could be injured. Always use
the correct wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts
for replacement.
