Wheels

Inspect the wheel hub bolt nuts (1012) and tighten to 115-142 Nm (85-105 lb-ft). Loose wheel hub bolt nuts can cause shimmy and vibration, and may also distort the stud holes in the wheels (1007) .

Ensure wheels and wheel hubs (1104) are clean. Stones wedged between the wheel and rotor 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 wheels for dents that could leak air.

Inspect the front wheel hubs and front wheel bearings (1215) whenever the wheel hubs are removed, or at regular inspection intervals.
