Wheel Nut Tightening, Tire Rotation, Vehicle Stability Check

WHEEL NUT TIGHTENING 1. The wheel nut tightening torque is the same for steel wheels and aluminum wheels.

Tightening Torque:

90 - 110 N·m.

After tightening the nuts with an air tool (impact wrench), check the final tightening torque with a torque wrench.

2. Wheel nut tightening sequence.

Check the wheel nut tightening torque after tightening the nuts to the specified torque in a diagonal sequence.

TIRE ROTATION

1. When rotating the tires, follow the pattern shown in the illustration (for tires with directional and non-directional tread patterns, respectively).

VEHICLE STABILITY CHECK

1. If the vehicle pulls to one side while driving, swap the wheels according to the procedure below.

a) Swap the front right and front left wheels, then perform a road test to check the vehicle stability.

b) If the vehicle pulls to the opposite side, swap the front and rear wheels, then perform the road test again.

c) If the vehicle still pulls to one side, swap the front right and front left wheels again, then perform the road test.

d) If the vehicle pulls in the opposite direction, replace the front wheels with new ones.
