Wheel Inspection

Inspect the wheel lug nuts and tighten to 115-142 Nm (85-105 lb-ft). Loose wheel lug nuts can cause shimmy and vibration, and may also distort the stud holes in the wheels.

Ensure wheels and hub are clean. Stones wedged between the wheel and rotor or rear drum or lumps of mud and grease can unbalance the wheel.

Check for wheel damage. Wobble or shimmy caused by a damaged wheel will eventually damage the bearings. Inspect the rims for dents that could leak air.

Inspect the front hubs and bearings whenever the hubs are removed, or at regular inspection intervals.
