DETAILED TEST C: WHEEL AND TIRE 

CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS  

C1 ROAD TEST THE VEHICLE 

During the road test, if the vibration can be eliminated by placing the vehicle in neutral or is affected by 
the speed of the engine, the cause is not the wheels or tires. 



Is there a vibration and noise?  

YES  

Go to C2 . 

NO  

The wheel and tires are OK. Conduct a diagnosis on other suspect systems. 

C2 CHECK THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS 

NOTE:

Wheel or tire vibrations felt in the steering wheel are most likely related to 
the front wheel or tire. Vibration felt through the seat are most likely 
related to the rear wheel or tire. This may not always be true, but it can 
help to isolate the problem to the front or rear of the vehicle. 
Test drive the vehicle at different speed ranges.
