The hubs of the front and rear wheels (see Fig. 1 and 3) of all cars, except for cars with final drive axles, are the same
The hub flanges of vehicles with final drive axles (see Fig. 2) are shifted inward by 16.5 mm relative to their outer end and have 10 (instead of 8) threaded holes for the drive flange mounting bolts.
Car wheels are disk, stamped, with a deep one-piece rim of size 6LX15 or 6JX16 depending on the tires used.
Car tires are pneumatic, tube diagonal (15") or radial (15" or 16").
Possible causes of wheel and tire failure
- Cause of malfunction
Removal method nia
Wobbling of the front wheels:
- Large gap in front wheel hub bearings
Adjust the tightness of the wheel hub bearings. If necessary, replace worn or damaged bearings
- Increased clearance in the pin bushings
Adjust or replace worn parts
- Increased clearances in the tie rod joints
Replace worn parts
- Wheel deformation (rim or disk is bent)
If the runout is too large, replace the wheel
Front wheel steering:
- Uneven air pressure in the left and right front tires
Check and, if necessary, adjust the pressure to normal
- Increased clearances in the steering mechanism or in the bipod linkage joints
Adjust or replace worn parts if necessary
- deformation of the front axle housing and frame
Check, straighten bent parts or replace with new ones
- Non-simultaneous action of wheel brake mechanisms
Fix the problem
Increased or uneven tire wear:
- the air pressure in the tires is not normal
Check the pressure and bring it to normal
- Car tire overload
Do not overload the car. Place the load evenly
- Incorrect alignment (steering rod is bent or incorrectly adjusted)
Straighten the rod, adjust its length and check the wheel alignment.
