Check wheels for radial runout |
The radial runout at the wheel must be no more than max. 1.0 mm. On steel disk wheels, a more favorable position of disk wheel relative to the tire can, if necessary, be achieved by turning the tire. However, this should only be done if it is certain that there are no flats caused by parking or braking. |
