Steel Wheel

INSPECTION
1) Deformation or damage to the rim may cause air leakage. Check the rim flange for deformation, cracks or damage, and repair or replace as necessary.
2) Jack-up the vehicle until tires clear the floor.
3) Slowly rotate the wheel to check rim "runout" using a dial gauge.








4) If the rim runout exceeds specifications, replace the wheel.
