Replace the wheel if any of the following conditions exist:
• | The wheel exhibits excessive runout |
• | The wheel is severely rusted |
• | The wheel is severely corroded |
| Note: Air leaks caused by porosity on aluminum wheels are repairable.
|
Warning: If you are replacing the wheel(s), the wheel stud(s), the wheel nut(s) or the wheel bolt(s), install only new Saturn original equipment parts. Installation of used parts or non-Saturn original
equipment parts may cause the wheel to loosen, loss of tire air pressure, poor vehicle handling and loss of vehicle control resulting in personal injury.
Caution: The use of non-GM original equipment wheels may cause:
• | Damage to the wheel bearing, the wheel fasteners and the wheel |
• | Tire damage caused by the modified clearance to the adjacent vehicle components |
• | Adverse vehicle steering stability caused by the modified scrub radius |
• | Damage to the vehicle caused by the modified ground clearance |
• | Speedometer and odometer inaccuracy |
Replace the wheel, the wheel studs and the wheel/nuts, or the wheel bolts if applicable, if any of the following conditions exist:
• | The wheel has elongated bolt holes. |
• | The wheel/nuts, or bolts if applicable, loosen repeatedly. |
Steel wheel identification is stamped into the wheel near the valve stem.
Aluminum wheel identification is cast into the inboard side of the wheel.
