2B-6 WHEEL ALIGNMENT
VIBRATION DIAGNOSIS
Wheel imbalance causes most highway speed vibration
problems. A vibration can remain after dynamic balanc-
ing 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 loaded
radial runout, must be checked using method of substi-
tuting known good tire and wheel assemblies on the
problem vehicle.
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 oc-
curs at low speeds, runout is the probable cause.
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 deforma-
tions, separations, or bulges from impact damage.
Slight sidewall indentations are normal and will not
affect ride quality.
