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
Chevrolet 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
Chevrolet model.
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.
