Flat Spotting Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Jeep Wrangler and 2015 Jeep Wrangler. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

If the vehicle has been sitting for an extended period of time it is recommended to drive the vehicle to warm the tires. This process could eliminate flat spots that can cause vibration.

  1. Drive the vehicle at highway speeds until the vibration (flat spotting) is eliminated.
    NOTE:

    In most cases, flat spot vibrations will be eliminated within 20 minutes (about 20 miles) of driving at highway speeds. If the vehicle has been stored without moving for an extended time, it may be necessary to drive the vehicle longer at highway speeds. If the vibration is not completely eliminated during the test drive, proceed to Step 2.

  2. Within 10 minutes after driving the vehicle, raise the vehicle so there is no load on the tires.
  3. Check the tire and wheel assemblies for balance, run-out, and road force variation.. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  4. Only install new tires after the vehicle has been driven as directed and all appropriate wheel and tire diagnostics have been completed.
