Wheel Runout

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Montego, 2005 Ford Freestyle, and 2005 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Using a suitable runout gauge, measure radial and lateral wheel runout at the positions shown in the illustration. Runout should not exceed specification. Note that the tire has been removed.
