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 |
| | Important: Air leaks caused by porosity on aluminum wheels may be repaired.
|
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.
Caution: If you are replacing the wheel(s), the wheel stud(s), the wheel nut(s)
or the wheel bolt(s), install only new GM original equipment parts. Installation
of used parts or non-GM 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.
Notice: 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 |
