  1. Drive vehicle a short distance to eliminate tire flat spotting from a parked position.
  2. Check wheel bearings and adjust if adjustable or replace if necessary.
  3. Check the wheel mounting surface.
  4. Relocate wheel on the mounting, two studs over from the original position.
  5. Tighten wheel nuts until all are properly torqued, to eliminate brake distortion.
  6. Check radial runout. If still excessive, mark tire sidewall, wheel, and stud at point of maximum runout and proceed to METHOD 2 (RELOCATE TIRE ON WHEEL)  .
