Visual Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Visual inspection of the vehicle is recommended prior to road testing or performing any other procedure. Raise vehicle on a suitable hoist. (Refer to LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/HOISTING - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

Inspect for the following:

Verify correct (OEM) wheel and tire, as well as correct wheel weights. Aluminum wheels require unique wheel weights. They are designed to fit the contour of the wheel. See Fig 1.
Inspect tires and wheels for damage, mud packing and unusual wear; correct as necessary.
Check and adjust tire air pressure to the pressure listed on the label attached to the rear face of the driver's door.
