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. measured at the center line of the tread may cause the Lateral run out of more than 0.7 mm (.030 inch) measured near the shoulder of the tire may cause the Sometimes radial run out can be reduced by relocat- ing the wheel and tire assembly on the mounting studs 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 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 Fig. 4 Run out Gauge Fig. 3 Tightening Wheel Nuts Fig. 5 Checking Wheel Run out .
