Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION1. Inspect the lug nuts and tighten them to 88-118 Nm (65-87 ft. lbs.). Loose lug nuts can cause shimmy and vibration and may also elongate the stud holes in the wheels.
2. Ensure wheels and wheel hubs are clean. Stones wedged behind the wheel or lumps of mud and grease can unbalance the wheel.
3. Check for wheel damage. Wobble or shimmy caused by a damaged wheel will eventually damage the rear wheel bearings or front axle bearings. Inspect the wheels for dents that could leak air.
4. If no obvious damage is found, perform the road test.
