Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Balancing wheel, checking radial and lateral run-out of wheels and tyres
Before you start balancing the wheels, the following
requirements must be met. |
Tyre pressure must be OK. |
Tread must not be worn on one side. Tread depth should be at
least 4 mm. |
The tyre must not show any signs of damage, for example
cuts, piercing, foreign bodies, etc. |
Wheel suspension and steering, including shock absorbers,
must be in perfect condition. |
Road test has been carried out
→ Chapter. |
Radial and lateral run-out occur when the wheel and tyre do
not run absolutely true. |
For technical reasons, 100% true running is not possible. |
Therefore, the manufacturers of these components allow a
precisely determined tolerance. |
Aligning the tyre in an unfavourable position on the wheel
can cause the maximum allowed tolerance for wheel with tyre to
be exceeded. |
– |
Preload tyre gauge approx. 2 mm. |
|
|
|
– |
Fit tyre gauge to side wall of tyre. |
– |
Make a note of the smallest and largest deflection of the
indicator needle. |
Note
If the difference is greater than 1.3 mm, the lateral
run-out is too great. |
In this case, the radial run-out can be reduced by matching
wheel and tyre
→ Chapter. |
Extreme values on the tyre gauge due to small irregularities
in the rubber may be disregarded. |
– |
Preload tyre gauge approx. 2 mm. |
|
|
|
– |
Fit tyre gauge to running surface of tyre. |
– |
Make a note of the smallest and largest deflection of the
indicator needle. |
Note
If the difference is greater than 1 mm, the radial run-out
is too great. |
In this case, the radial run-out can be reduced by matching
wheel and tyre
→ Chapter. |
The table shows the maximum permissible tolerances for a
wheel with mounted tyre. |
