Wheel Hub Runout

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Position the special tool on the wheel hub, as close to the outer edge as possible. Zero the indicator to allow the pointer to deflect either way.
