Wheel Runout Inspection
- Raise the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations (see LIFT AND SUPPORT POINTS ).
- Check for bent or deformed wheels.
- Set up the dial gauge as shown, and measure axial runout by turning the wheel.
Front and rear wheel axial runout:
Standard: 0-0.7 mm (0-0.03 in.)
Service limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 in.)
- Reset the dial gauge to the position shown, and measure the radial runout.
Front and rear wheel radial runout:
Standard: 0-0.7 mm (0-0.03 in.)
Service limit: 1.5 mm (0.06 in.)
- If the wheel runout is out of specification, check the wheel bearing end play.
- If the bearing end play is within the specification but the wheel runout is more than the service limit, replace the wheel.
