Replace the wheel if any of the following conditions exist:
• | The wheel exhibits excessive runout. |
• | The wheel is bent. |
• | The wheel mounting surface is bent. |
• | The wheel is cracked. |
Replace the wheel, the wheel hub studs and the wheel nuts, if any of the following conditions exist:
• | The wheel has elongated wheel stud holes. |
• | The wheel nuts loosen repeatedly. |
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
Important:
• Replacement wheels must be equivalent to the original equipment wheels
in the following ways: - The load capacity. - The wheel diameter. - The rim width. - The wheel offset. - The mounting configuration. • A wheel of the incorrect size or type may affect the following conditions: - Wheel and hub-bearing life. - Brake cooling. - Speedometer/odometer calibration. - Vehicle ground clearance. - Tire clearance to the body and the chassis.
Aluminium wheel identification is cast into the inboard side of the wheel.
