Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
The tires and wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the factory to
give you the longest tire life and best overall
performance. Adjustments to wheel alignment and
tire balancing will not be necessary on a regular
basis. However, if you notice unusual tire wear or
your vehicle pulling to one side or the other,
the alignment may need to be checked. If you
notice your vehicle vibrating when driving on
a smooth road, your tires and wheels may need
to be rebalanced. See your dealer for proper
diagnosis.
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. Some aluminum wheels can sometimes be
repaired. See your GM dealer if any of these
conditions exist.
Your GM 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 vehicle.
