SS -24 SUSPENSION SYSTEM

CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS
K6SUBSTITUTE THE WHEELS AND TIRE
1. Substitute a known good set of wheels and tires.
2. Carry out a road test.
3. If the vehicle still exhibits a shake or vibration, note the vehicle
speed and/or engine rpm which it occurs.

● Is the vibration felt ?

⇒ YES
Engine/transmission imbalance.
See the specification of TR group, EM group, FL group and EC group.

⇒ NO
Install the original tire/wheel assemblies one by one, Road testing
at each step until the damaged tire(s)/wheel(s) as necessary. Test
the system for normal operation.

Wheel /tire noise, vibration and harshness concerns are

directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally
affected by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also,
out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more than
one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm,
or is eliminated by placing the transmission in Neutral is
not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire
and wheel vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related
to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt in
the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel
assemblies. This can initially isolate a concern to the front
or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels.
There are several symptoms that can be caused by
damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful
visual inspection of the tires and wheel assemblies. Spin
the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial
runout. Refer to the tire wear chart to determine the tire
wear conditions and actions
