Radial Tire Lead / Pull DescriptionS7RS0B2401006
“Lead / Pull” is the deviation of the vehicle from a straight
path on a level road even with no pressure on the
steering wheel.
Lead is usually caused by the following conditions.
• Improper tire and wheel alignment.
• Uneven brake assemblies.
• Tire construction.
The way in which a tire is built can produce lead in a
vehicle. An example of this is placement of the belt. Off
center belts on radial tires can cause the tire to develop
a side force while rolling straight down the road. If one
side of the tire has a little larger diameter than the other,
the tire will tend to roll to one side. This will develop a
side force which can produce vehicle lead.
The procedure in the figure (Lead Diagnosis) should be
used to make sure that wheel alignment is not mistaken
for tire lead.
• Part of the lead diagnosis procedure is different from the proper tire rotation pattern currently in the owner
and service manuals. If a medium to high mileage tire
is moved to the other side of the vehicle, be sure to
check that ride roughness has not developed.
• Rear tires will not cause lead.
Balancing Wheels DescriptionS7RS0B2401007
There are two types of wheel an d tire balance: static and
dynamic. Static balance, as shown in figure, is the equal
distribution of weight around the wheel. Wheels that are
statically unbalanced cause a bouncing action called
tramp. This condition will eventually cause uneven tire
wear.
Dynamic balance, as shown in figure, is the equal
distribution of weight on each side of the wheel
centerline so that when the tire spins there is no
tendency for the assembly to move from side to side.
Wheels that are dynamically unbalanced may cause
shimmy.

Repair Instructions
General Balance ProceduresS7RS0B2406001
Deposits of mud, etc. must be cleaned from inside of rim.
WARNING!
Stones should be removed from the tread in
order to avoid operator injury during spin
balancing and to obtain good balance.

Each tire should be inspected for any damage, then
balanced according to equipment manufacturer’s
recommendation.
Off-Vehicle Balancing
Most electronic off-vehicle balancers are more accurate
than the on-vehicle spin balancers. They are easy to use
and give a dynamic (two plane) balance. Although they
do not correct for drum or disc unbalance as does on-
vehicle spin balancing, this is overcome by their
accuracy, usually to within 1/8 ounce.
On-Vehicle Balancing
On-vehicle balancing methods vary with equipment and
tool manufacturers. Be sure to follow each
manufacturer’s instructions during balancing operation.
WARNING!
Wheel spin should be limited to 55 km/h (35
mph) as indicated on speedometer.
This limit is necessary because speedometer
only indicates one-half of actual wheel speed
when one drive wheel is spinning and the
other drive wheel is stopped.
Unless care is taken in limiting drive wheel
spin, spinning wheel can reach excessive
speeds. This can result in possible tire
disintegration or differential failure, which
could cause serious personal injury or
extensive vehicle damage.

CAUTION!
Using on-vehicle balancing method with
ignition switch ON may set malfunction
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) of ESP® and
ABS even when system is in good condition.
Never turn ignition swit ch ON while spinning
wheel.

Tire RotationS7RS0B2406002
To equalize wear, rotate tires according to figure. Radial
tires should be rotated periodi cally. Set tire pressure.

Wheel Removal and InstallationS7RS0B2406003
Removal
WARNING!
Do not removal all of the wheel nuts at once,
because all the wheels of this vehicle are
mounted by the wheel nuts.
Leave a nut at least not to drop the wheel.
Support the wheel and/or tire and then
remove the nut(s) left with the wheel.

1) Loosen wheel nuts by approximately 180° (half a
rotation).
2) Hoist vehicle.
3) Make sure that the vehicle will not fall off by trying to
move vehicle body in both ways.
4) Remove wheel nut except one.
5) Support the wheel and/or tire not to drop the wheel and then remove the nut left with the wheel.
CAUTION!
Never use heat to loosen tight wheel because
the application of heat to wheel causes the
wheel life shorter and the wheel bearing
damage.

Installation
CAUTION!
When installing wheel (with tire) which has
arrow (1) indicating tire rotation direction on
its side, make sure that arrow direction is
same as actual tire ro tation direction when
vehicle is moving forw ard (2). Otherwise,
water drainage performance and straight line
vehicle stability will be affected.

For installation, reverse removal procedure, noting the
following.
• Wheel nuts must be tightened in sequence and to specified torque to avoid bending wheel or brake disc.
NOTE
Before installing wheels, remove any build-
up of corrosion on wheel mounting surface
and brake disc mounting surface by scraping
and wire brushing. Installing wheels without
good metal-to-metal contact at mounting
surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen,
which can later allow a wheel to come off
while vehicle is moving.

Tire Mounting and DismountingS7RS0B2406004
CAUTION!
When installing tire which has arrow
indicating tire rotation direction to wheel,
make sure that this tire rotation direction is
same as actual tire rotation direction when
vehicle is moving forward. Otherwise, it is
not possible to install wheel with tire to
vehicle in specified direction.

Use a tire changing machine to mount or dismount tires.
Follow equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Do not
use hand tools or tire irons al one to change tires as they
may damage tire beads or wheel rim.
Rim bead seats should be cleaned with a wire brush or
coarse steel wool to remove lubricants, old rubber and
light rust. Before mounting or dismounting a tire, bead
area should be well lubricated with approved tire
lubricant.
After mounting, inflate to specified pressure shown on
tire placard so that beads are completely seated.
WARNING!
Do not stand over tire when inflating. Bead
may break when bead snaps over rim’s safety
hump and cause serious personal injury.
Do not exceed 330 kpa (47.9 psi) pressure
when inflating. If 330 kpa (47.9 psi) pressure
will not seat beads, deflate, re-lubricate and
reinflate.
Over inflation may cause bead to break and
cause serious personal injury.

Install valve core and inflate to proper pressure.
Tire RepairS7RS0B2406005
There are many different materials and techniques on
the market to repair tires. As not all of these work on all
types of tires, tire manufacturers have published detailed
instructions on how and when to repair tires. These
instructions can be obtained from each tire
manufacturer.

Diagnostic Information and Procedures
Brakes Diagnosis NoteS7RS0B4104001
Road Testing Brakes
Brakes should be tested on dry, clean, smooth and
reasonably level roadway which is not crowned. Road
test brakes by making brake applications with both light
and heavy pedal forces at vari ous speeds to determine if
the vehicle stops evenly and effectively. Also drive
vehicle to see if it leads to one side or the other without
brake application. If it does, check the tire pressure, front
wheel alignment and front suspension attachments for
looseness. See diagnosis table for other causes. Brake Fluid Leaks
Check the master cylinder fl
uid levels. While a slight
drop in reservoir level does result from normal lining
wear, an abnormally low leve l indicates a leak in the
system. In such a case, chec k the entire brake system
for leakage. If even a slight ev idence of leakage is noted,
the cause should be corrected or defective parts should
be replaced.
Substandard or Contaminated Brake Fluid
Improper brake fluid, mineral oil or water in the fluid may
cause the brake fluid to boil or the rubber components in
the hydraulic system to deteriorate.

If deterioration of rubber is evident, disassemble all
hydraulic parts and wash with alcohol. Dry these parts
with compressed air before assembly to keep alcohol out
of the system. Replace all rubber parts in the system,
including hoses. Also, when working on the brake
mechanisms, check for fluid on the linings.
If excessive fluid is found, replace the pads. If master cylinder piston seals
are satisfactory, check for
leakage or excessive heat co nditions. If leakage is not
found, drain fluid, flush with brake fluid, refill and bleed
system.
The system must be flushed if there is any doubt as to
the grade of fluid in the system or if fluid has been used
which contained parts that have been subjected to
contaminated fluid.

Parking Brake Inspection and AdjustmentS7RS0B4406001
Inspection
Hold center of parking brake lever grip and pull it up with
200 N (20 kg, 44 lbs) force.
With parking brake lever pulled up as shown, count
ratchet notches. There should be 4 to 9 notches.
Also, check if both right and left rear wheels are locked
firmly.
To count number of notches easily, listen to click sounds
that ratchet makes while pulling parking brake lever
without pressing its button.
One click sound corresponds to one notch.
If number of notches is out of specification, adjust cable
referring to adjustment procedure so as to obtain
specified parking brake stroke.
NOTE
Check tooth tip of each notch for damage or
wear.
If any damage or wear is found, replace
parking brake lever.

Adjustment
NOTE
Make sure for the following conditions before
cable adjustment.
• No air is trapped in brake system.
• Brake pedal travel is proper.
• Start engine and then brake pedal has been depressed at least 3 times with about
160 N (16.0 kg, 35.3 lbs) load.
• Parking brake lever (1) has been pulled up a few times with about 200 N (20 kg, 44 lbs)
load.
If parking brake cable is replaced with new
one, pull up parking brake lever a few
times with about 500 N ⋅m (50 kg, 110 lbs)
force.

1) Release parking brake lever (1).
2) Loosen parking brake lever adjust nut (2) fully.
