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 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 vehicle.

CAUTION:

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.
