Diagnostic Starting Point - Tires and Wheels: Notes
Prior to performing any work, always road test the car and perform a careful visual inspection for:
- Obvious tire and wheel runout
- Obvious drive axle runout
- Improper tire inflation
- Incorrect trim height
- Bent or damaged wheels
- Debris build-up on the tire or the wheel
- Irregular or excessive tire wear
- Improper tire bead seating on the rim
- Imperfections in the tires, including tread deformations, separations, or bulges from impact damage - Slight sidewall indentations are normal and will not affect ride quality.
