Rim Run-Out Compensation

• Perform wheel run-out compensation.

The lateral runout of the wheel must be compensated for. Otherwise, measurement will result in false readings. 

• Permissible axial run-out of the wheel rims can exceed the specified toe setting tolerance. If compensation for wheel run-out is not performed, it will not be possible to obtain a correct toe-in adjustment.

For this, observe notes by manufacturer of wheel alignment equipment.
