Wheel Runout
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Ford Freestyle, and 2006 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 Fig 1 . Runout should not exceed specification. Note that the tire has been removed.
