INSPECTION

1. Deformation or damage to the rim may cause air leakage. Check the rim flange for deformation, cracks or damage, and repair or replace as necessary.

2. Jack-up the vehicle until wheels clear the floor.

3. Slowly rotate the wheel to check rim “runout” using a dial gauge.

Axial runout limit

Radial runout limit

1.0 mm (0.039 in)

4. If the rim runout exceeds specifications, replace the wheel.
