8. Aluminum Wheel
A: INSPECTION
Inspection for aluminum wheels is basically the
same as the one for steel wheels. However, check
the rim flange for cracks or damage, and replace
(not repair) aluminum wheel if air leakage is found.
B: PRECAUTIONS
Aluminum wheels are easily scratched. To main-
tain their appearance and safety, do the following:
1) Do not damage aluminum wheels during
removal, disassembly, installation, wheel
balancing, etc. After removing aluminum wheels,
place them on a rubber mat, etc.
2) While vehicle is being driven, be careful not to
ride over sharp obstacles or allow aluminum
wheels to contact the shoulder of the road.
3) When installing tire chain, be sure to install it
properly not to have a slack; otherwise it may hit
wheel while driving.
4) When washing aluminum wheel, use neutral
synthetic detergent and water. Avoid using the
cleanser including abrasive, hard brushes or an
automatic car washer.
9. 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.
CAUTION:
I55 g (1.94 oz) weight used with aluminum
wheel is not available.
IBalance weights are available for use with
any of 14- to 16-inch wheels.

*1 Fluid level is specified at optimum position (range) for ordinary use. Accordingly, if the vehicle is used often under hard
conditions such as on very rough roads or in mountainous areas, fluid may bleed out from cap air vent hole. This is not
a problem. If a customer complains strongly and is not likely to be satisfied with the leakage, lower the fluid level to the
extent that fluid will not bleed out under the conditions described, and have the customer check the fluid level and its
quality more frequency than usual.
E: NOISE AND VIBRATION
CAUTION:
Don't keep the relief valve operated over 5 sec-
onds at any time or inner parts of the oil pump
may be damaged due to rapid increase of fluid
temperature.
NOTE:
IGrinding noise may be heard immediately after
the engine start in extremely cold condition. In this
case, if the noise goes off during warm-up there is
no abnormal function in the system. This is due to
the fluid characteristic in extremely cold condition.
IOil pump makes whine or growl noise slightly
due to its mechanism. Even if the noise can be
heard when steering wheel is turned at stand still
there is no abnormal function in the system pro-
vided that the noise eliminates when the vehicle is
running.
IWhen stopping with service brake and/or park-
ing brake applied, power steering can be operated
easily due to its light steering effort. If doing so, thedisk rotates slightly and makes creaking noise. The
noise is generated by creaking between the disk
and pads. If the noise goes off when the brake is
released, there is no abnormal function in the sys-
tem.
IThere may be a little vibration around the steer-
ing devices when turning steering wheel at
standstill, even though the component parts are
properly adjusted and have no defects.
Hydraulic systems are likely to generate this kind
of vibration as well as working noise and fluid noise
because of combined conditions, i.e., road surface
and tire surface, engine speed and turning speed
of steering wheel, fluid temperature and braking
condition.
This phenomena does not indicate there is some
abnormal function in the system.
The vibration can be known when steering wheel
is turned repeatedly at various speeds from slow to
rapid step by step with parking brake applied on
concrete road and in ªDº range for automatic trans-
mission vehicle.
Trouble Possible cause Corrective action
Hiss noise (continuous)
While engine is running.Relief valve emits operating sound when steering wheel is
completely turned in either direction. (Don't keep this condition
over 5 seconds.)Normal
Relief valve emits operating sound when steering wheel is not
turned. This means that the relief valve is faulty.Defective
Replace oil pump.

G: BREAKAGE OF HOSES
CAUTION:
Although surface layer materials of rubber
hoses have excellent weathering resistance,
heat resistance and resistance for low tem-
perature brittleness, they are likely to be dam-
aged chemically by brake fluid, battery
electrolyte, engine oil and automatic transmis-
sion fluid and their service lives are to be very
shortened. It is very important to keep thehoses free from before mentioned fluids and to
wipe out immediately when the hoses are
adhered with the fluids.
Since resistances for heat or low temperature
brittleness are gradually declining according to
time accumulation of hot or cold conditions for
the hoses and their service lives are shortening
accordingly, it is necessary to perform careful
inspection frequently when the vehicle is used
in hot weather areas, cold weather area and/or
a driving condition in which many steering
operations are required in short time. Particu-
