Replace the wheel if any of the following conditions exist:
- The wheel exhibits excessive runout.
- The wheel is bent.
- The wheel is cracked.
- The wheel is severely rusted.
- The wheel is severely corroded.
- The wheel leaks air.
Warning:
If you are replacing the wheel(s), the wheel stud(s), the wheel nut(s) or the wheel bolt(s), install only new GM original equipment parts. Installation of used parts or non-GM original equipment parts may cause the wheel to loosen, loss of tire air pressure, poor vehicle handling and loss of vehicle control resulting in personal injury.
Note:
Air leaks caused by porosity on aluminum wheels are repairable.
Caution:
The use of non-GM original equipment wheels may cause:
- Damage to the wheel bearing, the wheel fasteners and the wheel
- Tire damage caused by the modified clearance to the adjacent vehicle components
- Adverse vehicle steering stability caused by the modified scrub radius
- Damage to the vehicle caused by the modified ground clearance
- Speedometer and odometer inaccuracy
Replace the wheel, the wheel studs and the wheel/nuts, or the wheel bolts if applicable, if any of the following conditions exist:
- The wheel has elongated bolt holes.
- The wheel/nuts, or bolts if applicable, loosen repeatedly.
Steel wheel identification is stamped into the wheel near the valve stem.
Aluminum wheel identification is cast into the inboard side of the wheel.
