Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced
carefully at the factory to give
you
the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
Scheduled wheel alignment and wheel balancing are
not
needed. However, if
you
notice unusual tire wear or
your vehicle pulling one way or the other, the alignment
may need to be reset. If
you
notice your vehicle
vibrating when driving
on
a smooth road, your wheels
may need
to
be rebalanced.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked, or badly rusted
or corroded. If wheel
nuts
keep coming loose, the wheel,
wheel bolts and wheel nuts should be replaced.
If
the
wheel leaks air, replace
it
(except some aluminum
wheels, which can sometimes be repaired). See your
Buick dealer if any
of
these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind
of
wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same load-carrying
capacity, diameter, width, offset and be mounted the
same way
as
the one it replaces.
If you need
to
replace any
of
your wheels, wheel bolts
or wheel nuts, replace them only with new
GM
original
equipment parts. This way, you will be sure to have
the right wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts for your
Buick model.

CAUTION:
1
Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel
bolts or wheel nuts on your vehicle can be
dangerous. It could affect the braking and
handling of your vehicle, make your tires lose air
and make you lose control. You could have a
collision in which you or others could be injured.
Always use the correct wheel, wheel bolts and
wheel nuts for replacement.
