Wheel Hub/Axle Flange Runout

When lateral runout occurs, inspect the wheel hub/axle flange runout if you are performing an on-vehicle test procedure, but not during off-vehicle testing. The tolerances provided are only guidelines. Perform corrections only if the on-vehicle runout cannot be brought to within tolerance.




1. Position the dial indicator on the machined surface of the hub, the axle flange, or the rotor outside of the wheel studs.
2. Rotate the hub in order to find the low spot.
3. Set the dial indicator to zero at the low spot.
4. Rotate the hub again and check the total amount of runout.
