SUBARU LEGACY 1997 Service Repair Manual

B4M0053A
10. Wheel Balancing
1) Proper wheel balance may be lost if the tire is repaired
or if it wears. Check the tire for dynamic balance, and repair
as necessary.
2) To check for dynamic balance, use a dynamic balancer.
Drive in the balance weight on both the top and rear sides
of the rim.
3) Some types of balancer can cause damage to the
wheel. Use an appropriate balancer when adjusting the
wheel balance.
4) Use genuine balance weights.
Service limit: A
Weight for steel wheel;
1.6—2.0 mm (0.063—0.079 in)
Weight for aluminum wheel;
4.6—5.4 mm (0.181—0.213 in)
CAUTION:
55 g (1.94 oz) weight used with aluminum wheel is
not available.
Balance weights are available for use with any of 14-
to 15-inch wheels.
11. Installation of Wheel Assembly to
Vehicle
1) Attach the wheel to the hub by aligning the wheel bolt
hole with the hub bolt.
2) Temporarily attach the wheel nuts to the hub bolts. (In
the case of aluminum wheel, use SUBARU genuine wheel
nut for aluminum wheel.)
3) Manually tighten the nuts making sure the wheel hub
hole is aligned correctly to the guide portion of hub.
4) Tighten the wheel nuts in a diagonal selection to the
specified torque. Use a wheel nut wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
88±10 N⋅m (9±1 kg-m, 65±7 ft-lb)
CAUTION:
Tighten the wheel nuts in two or three steps by
gradually increasing the torque and working
diagonally, until the specified torque is reached. For
drum brake models, excess tightening of wheel nuts
may cause wheels to “judder”.
Do not depress the wrench with a foot; Always use
both hands when tightening.
Make sure the bolt, nut and the nut seating surface
of the wheel are free from oils.
5) If a wheel is removed for replacement or for repair of a
puncture, retighten the wheel nuts to the specified torque
after running 1,000 km (600 miles).

12. Tire Rotation
If tires are maintained at the same positions for a long
period of time, uneven wear results. Therefore, they should
be periodically rotated.
This lengthens service life of tires.
CAUTION:
When rotating tires, replace unevenly worn or dam-
aged tires with new ones.
13.“T-type”Tire
“T-type”tire for temporary use is prepared as a spare tire.
CAUTION:
Keep the inflation pressure at 420 kPa (4.2 kg/cm
2,
60 psi) at all times.
When the wear indicator appears on the tread
surface, replace the tire with a new one.
Do not use a tire chain with the“T-type”tire.
Because of the smaller tire size, a tire chain will not fit
properly and will result in damage to the vehicle and
the tire.
Do not drive at a speed greater than 80 km/h (50
MPH).
Drive as slowly as possible and avoid passing over
bumps.
Replace with a conventional tire as soon as possible
since this“T-type”tire is only for temporary use.
