Item 4: Wheel And Tire Assembly Installation Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Monterey and 2004 Ford Freestar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    WARNING: When installing a wheel and tire, make sure to remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign material present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel and brake disc. Installing a wheel without correct metal-to-metal contact at the mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in motion, causing loss of control.
  1. Clean the wheel mounting surfaces.
