Tire and Wheel Runout

WHEEL RUNOUT CHECK





Jack up the vehicles so that the wheels are clear of the floor. While slowly turning the wheel, measure wheel runout with a dial indicator.
Limit:
- Radial runout.
Steel wheel: 1.2 mm (0.05 inch) or less
Aluminum wheel: 1.0 mm (0.04 inch) or less
- Lateral runout.
Steel wheel: 1.2 mm (0.05 inch) or less
Aluminum wheel: 1.0 mm (0.04 inch) or less

If wheel runout exceeds the limit, replace the wheel.
