D. If the steering continues to pull to the opposite side, replace the front wheels with new ones.

WHEEL RUNOUT

1. Jack up the vehicle and support it with jack stands.

2. Measure the wheel runout with a dial indicator as illustrated.

3. Replace the wheel if the wheel runout exceeds the limit.

LH : Left Hand side, RH : Right Hand side

Wheel runout [Limit]
Steel wheeel
Radial 0.6mm (0.028 in.) : (Average of LH & RH)
Axial 1.0mm (0.039 in.)
Aluminum wheel
Radial 0.3mm (0.012 in.)
Axial 0.3mm (0.012 in.)

TIGHTENING WHEEL NUT

1. Tightening torque

Steel and aluminum alloy wheel

Specified torque
90~110 Nm (900~1,100 kgf·cm, 65~80 lbf·ft)

Rotate the tires in the pattern illustrated.

When using an impact gun, final tightening torque should be checked using a torque wrench.

2. Tightening order

Check the torque again after tightening the wheel nuts diagonally.

WHEEL ROTATION

When rotating the 215/45 ZR17 tires, ensure to follow the "ROTATION"direction marked on the sidewall of
tires.
When rotating the tires of the left and right, seperate the wheel from the tire and then re-assemble them.

CHECKING FOR PULL AND WANDER

1. If the steering pulls to one side, rotate the tires according to the following wheel rotation procedure.

A. Rotate the front right and front left tires, and perform a road test in order to confirm vehicle stability.

B. If the steering pulls to the opposite side, rotate the front and rear tires, and perform a road test again.

C. If the steering continues to pull to one side, rotate the front right and left tires again, and perform a road

test.

D. If the steering continues to pull to the opposite side, replace the front wheels with new ones.

2. On some vehicles which dirft or pull to the right only, the following procedure may be applied for fixing.

A. Adjust tire pressure as recommended below (4 tire) prior to conducting road test.

Tire inflation pressure : 2.1 kgf/cm² (30 psi)
Front 215/45 ZR 17 tire only : 2.2 kgf/cm² (32 psi)

B. To eliminate the pulling, rotate the front tires and test drive the vehicle to see if the pulling returns.

C. If a vehicle still exhibits the pulling to the right, replace the right front strut insulator with the redesigned

new part (Part No. 54610-2C000A) which increases the caster angle. (see page SS-11)

• This procedure applies to the vehicle pulls to the right only.

• Confirm the direction of the vehicle pulling by road testing prior to performing the repair procedure.

• If 'Michelin' tires are installed, do not rotate the tires because they are directional. Replace the

right front strut insulator only.
