Lower than recommended pressure can cause:
• Tire squeal on turns
• Hard Steering
• Rapid and uneven wear on the edges of the tread
• Tire rim bruises and rupture
• Tire cord breakage
• High tire temperature
• Reduced handling
• High fuel consumption
Replacement Tires
When replacement is necessary, the original equipment 
type tire should be used. Refer to the Tire Placard. 
Replacement tires should be of the same size, load 
range and construction as those originally on the vehicle. 
Use of any other size or type tire may affect ride, 
handling, speedometer / odometer calibration, vehicle 
ground clearance and tire or snow chain clearance to the 
body and chassis.
It is recommended that new tires be installed in pairs on 
the same axle. If necessary to replace only one tire, it 
should be paired with the tire  having the most tread, to 
equalize braking traction.
WARNING! 
Do not mix different types of tires on the 
same vehicle such as radial, bias and bias-
belted tires except in emergencies, because 
handling may be seriously affected and may 
result in loss of control.
 
The metric term for tire infl ation pressure is the kilo 
pascal (kPa). Tire pressures is usually printed in both 
kPa and kgf/cm
2 on the “Tire Placard”.
Metric tire gauges are available from tool suppliers.
The chart, shown the table, converts commonly used 
inflation pressures  from kPa to kgf/cm
2 and psi.
Wheels DescriptionS7RS0B2401002
Wheel Maintenance
Wheel repairs that use welding, heating, or peening are 
not approved. All damaged wheels should be replaced.
Replacement Wheels
Wheels must be replaced if they are bent, dented, have 
excessive lateral or radial runout, air leak through welds, 
have elongated bolt holes, if  lug wheel bolts won’t stay 
tight, or if they are heavily rusted. Wheels with greater 
runout than shown in the following may cause 
objectional vibrations.
Replacement wheels must be equivalent to the original 
equipment wheels in load capacity, diameter, rim with 
offset and mounting configuration. A wheel of improper 
size or type may affect wheel and bearing life, brake 
cooling, speedometer / odometer calibration, vehicle 
ground clearance and tire clearance to body and 
chassis.
How to Measure Wheel Runout
To measure the wheel runout, it is necessary to use an 
accurate dial indicator. The tire may be on or off the 
wheel. The wheel should be  installed to the wheel 
balancer of the like for proper measurement.
Take measurements of both lateral runout “a” and radial 
runout “b” at both inside an d outside of the rim flange. 
With the dial indicator set  in place securely, turn the 
wheel one full revolution slowly and record every reading 
of the indicator.
When the measured runout  exceeds the specification 
and correction by the balancer adjustment is impossible, 
replace the wheel. If the reading is affected by welding, 
paint or scratch, it should be ignored.
Lateral runout limit “a”
: 0.3 mm (0.012 in.)
Radial runout limit “b”
: 0.3 mm (0.012 in.)

General Description
Front Drive Shaft ConstructionS7RS0B3101001
A constant velocity ball joint is used on the wheel side of both right and left  side drive shaft assemblies. For A/T 
vehicle, a tripod type constant velocity joint is used on  the differential side and center shaft side. For M/T vehicle, a 
double offset type constant velocity joint (DOJ) is used on  the differential side and center shaft side. The drive shaft 
can slide through the tripod joint or the double offset  joint (DOJ) in the extension/contraction direction.

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.
