Chrysler Town & Country/Voyager, Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager. Manual — part 115
TIRE AND WHEEL RUN OUT
Radial run out is the difference between the high and
low points on the tire or wheel periphery.
Lateral run out is the ‘‘wobble’’ of the tire or wheel.
Radial run out of more than 0.7 mm (.030 inch)
measured at the center line of the tread may cause the
vehicle to shake.
Lateral run out of more than 0.7 mm (.030 inch)
measured near the shoulder of the tire may cause the
vehicle to shake.
Sometimes radial run out can be reduced by relocat-
ing the wheel and tire assembly on the mounting studs
(See Method 1). If this does not reduce run out to an
acceptable level, the tire can be rotated on the wheel.
(See Method 2).
METHOD 1 (RELOCATE WHEEL ON HUB)
Check accuracy of the wheel mounting surface; ad-
just wheel bearings.
Drive vehicle a short distance to eliminate tire flat
spotting from a parked position.
Make sure all wheel nuts are properly torqued (Fig.
3).
Use run out gauge D-128-TR to determine run out
(Fig. 4).
Relocate wheel on the mounting, two studs over from
the original position.
Retighten wheel nuts (Fig. 3) until all are properly
torqued. This will prevent brake distortion.
Check radial run out. If still excessive, mark tire
sidewall, wheel, and stud at point of maximum run out
and proceed to Method 2.
METHOD 2 (RELOCATE TIRE ON WHEEL)
Rotating tire on wheel is particularly effective when
there is run out in both tire and wheel.
Remove tire from wheel and mount wheel on dy-
namic wheel balancer.
Check wheel radial run out at each bead seat (Fig. 5).
It should be no more than 0.7 mm (0.30 inch).
Lateral run out on each rim should be no more than
0.7 mm (0.30 inch) (Fig. 5).
If point of greatest wheel radial run out is near
original chalk mark, remount tire 45 degrees from its
original position. Recheck run out.

GENERAL SERVICE INFORMATION
VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
Throughout this group, references to the Chrysler
Corporation vehicle family identification code are used
when describing a procedure that is unique to that
vehicle. Refer to Introduction Group of this manual for
detailed information on vehicle identification. If a
procedure is common to all vehicles covered in this
manual, no reference will be made to a vehicle family
code.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE USED
WHEN SERVICING GLASS COMPONENTS. PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
USE A BREATHING FILTER WHEN SPRAYING
PAINT OR SOLVENTS IN A CONFINED AREA. PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
AVOID PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT WITH PETRO-
LEUM OR ALCOHOL BASED CLEANING SOLVENTS.
PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
DO NOT VENTURE UNDER A HOISTED VEHICLE
THAT IS NOT PROPERLY SUPPORTED ON SAFETY
STANDS. PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: When holes must be drilled or punched in
an inner body panel, verify depth of space to the outer
body panel, electrical wiring, or other components.
Damage to vehicle can result.
Do not use abrasive chemicals or compounds on
painted surfaces. Damage to finish can result.
Do not use harsh alkaline based cleaning solvents
on painted or upholstered surfaces. Damage to finish
or color can result.
Do not hammer or pound on plastic trim panel when
servicing interior trim, plastic panel can break.
Chrysler Corporation uses many different types of
push-in fasteners to secure the interior and exterior
trim to the body. Most of these fasteners can be reused
to assemble the trim during various repair procedures.
At times a push-in fastener cannot be removed without
damaging the fastener or the component it is holding.
If it is not possible to remove a fastener without
damaging a component or body, cut or brake the
fastener and use a new one when installing the com-
ponent. Never pry or pound on a plastic or press-board
trim component. Using a suitable fork-type prying
device, pry the fastener from the retaining hole behind
the component being removed. When installing, verify
fastener alignment with the retaining hole, by hand,
push directly on or over the fastener until it seats.
Apply a low force pull to the panel to verify that it is
secure.
When it is necessary to remove components to service
another, it should not be necessary to apply excessive
force or bend a component to remove it. Before damag-
ing a trim component, verify hidden fasteners or cap-
tured edges holding the component in place.

BODY DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
WATER LEAKS
Water leaks can be caused by poor sealing, improper
body component alignment, body seam porosity, miss-
ing plugs, or blocked drain holes. Centrifugal and
gravitational force can cause water to drip from a
location away from the actual leak point, making leak
detection difficult. All body sealing points should be
water tight in normal wet driving conditions. Water
flowing downward from the front of the vehicle should
not enter the passenger or luggage compartment. Mov-
ing sealing surfaces will not always seal water tight
under all conditions. At times, side glass or door seals
will allow water to enter the passenger compartment
during high pressure washing or hard driving rain
(severe) conditions. Over compensating on door or glass
adjustments to stop a water leak that occurs under
severe conditions, can cause premature seal wear and
excessive closing or latching effort. After completing a
repair, water test vehicle to verify leak has stopped
before returning vehicle to use.
VISUAL INSPECTION BEFORE WATER LEAK
TESTS
Verify that floor and body plugs are in place, body
drains are clear and body components are properly
aligned and sealed. If component alignment or sealing
is necessary, refer to the appropriate section of this
group for proper procedures.
WATER LEAK TESTS
WARNING: DO NOT USE ELECTRIC SHOP LIGHTS
OR TOOLS IN WATER TEST AREA, PERSONAL IN-
JURY CAN RESULT.
When the conditions causing a water leak has been
determined, simulate the conditions as closely as pos-
sible.
• If a leak occurs with the vehicle parked in a steady
light rain, flood the leak area with an open ended
garden hose.
• If a leak occurs while driving at highway speeds in a
steady rain, test the leak area with a reasonable
velocity stream or fan spray of water. Direct the spray
in the direction comparable to actual conditions.
• If a leak occurs when the vehicle is parked on an
incline, hoist the end or side of the vehicle to simulate
this condition. This method can be used when the leak
occurs when the vehicle accelerates, stops or turns. If
the leak occurs on acceleration, hoist the front of the
vehicle. If the leak occurs when braking, hoist the back
of the vehicle. If the leak occurs on left turns, hoist the
left side of the vehicle. If the leak occurs on right turns,
hoist the right side of the vehicle. For hoisting recom-
mendations refer to Group 0, Lubrication and Mainte-
nance, General Information section.
WATER LEAK DETECTION
To detect a water leak point of entry, do a water test
and watch for water tracks or droplets forming on the
inside of the vehicle. If necessary, remove interior trim
covers or panels to gain visual access to the leak area.
If the hose cannot be positioned without being held,
have someone help do the water test.
Some water leaks must be tested for a considerable
length of time to become apparent. When a leak ap-
pears, find the highest point of the water track or drop.
The highest point usually will show the point of entry.
After leak point has been found, repair the leak and
water test to verify that leak has stopped.
Locating the entry point of water that is leaking into
a cavity between panels can be difficult. The trapped
water splashes or runs from the cavity it is dammed up
in, often at a distance from the entry point. Most water
leaks of this type become apparent after accelerating,
stopping, turning, or when on a incline.
MIRROR INSPECTION METHOD
When a leak point area is visually obstructed, use a
suitable mirror to gain visual access. A mirror can also
be used to deflect light to a limited access area to assist
in locating a leak point.
BRIGHT LIGHT LEAK TEST METHOD
Some water leaks in the luggage compartment can be
detected without water testing. Position the vehicle in
a brightly light area. From inside the darkened lug-
gage compartment inspect around seals and body
seams. If necessary, have a helper direct a drop light
over the suspected leak areas around the luggage
compartment. If light is visible through a normally
sealed location, water could enter through the opening.
PRESSURIZED LEAK TEST METHOD
When a water leak into the passenger compartment
can not be detected by water testing, pressurize the
passenger compartment and soap test exterior of the
vehicle. To pressurize the passenger compartment,
close all doors and windows, start engine, and set
heater control to high blower in HEAT position. If
engine can not be started, connect a charger to the
battery to assure adequate voltage to the blower. With
interior pressurized, apply dish detergent solution to
suspected leak area on the exterior of the vehicle.
