Wheel Inspection

If roughness or binding is found, replace the hub bearings (see Hub Bearing Removal/Installation).

Inspect the wheel for small cracks, dents, bending, or warp.

If there is any damage to the wheel, replace the wheel.

Remove the wheel, and support it with the tire by the axle.
Measure the rim runout, axial [A] and radial [B], with a dial gauge.

If rim runout exceeds the service limit, check the hub bearings (see Hub Bearing Inspection).

If the problem is not due to the bearings, replace the wheel.

Radial TIR 0.8 mm (0.03 in.) or less

Service Limit: Axial TIR 1.0 mm (0.04 in.)

Radial TIR 1.0 mm (0.04 in.)
