WHEEL BEARING DIAGNOSISThis vehicle with non–serviceable bearings in the rearwheels. If any fault is found with a wheel bearing, it mustbe replaced.
Wheel Bearing NoiseA road test usually reveals excessive wheel bearingnoise. Wheel bearings emit a howling sound when looseor damaged. Wheel bearing noise is present only whenthe vehicle is moving. It is constant and unwavering andincreases with the speed of the vehicle. If the wheelbearing noise cannot be positively diagnosed, or if the
origin of the noise cannot be determined, perform thefollowing test :1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.2. Spin the wheels using your hand. Check for out–of–
round or out–of–balance tires, bent rims, or loosewheel bearings.
3. Spin the rear wheels using a commercial wheel spin-er.
4. If a noise can be heard from the passenger compart-ment, replace the noisy wheel bearings. Refer to Sec-tion 2D, Rear Suspension.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATIONFOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENTThe first responsibility of engineering is to design safesteering and suspension systems. Each componentmust be strong enough to withstand and absorb extremepunishment. Both the steering system and the front andthe rear suspension must function geometrically with thebody mass.
The steering and the suspension systems require thatthe front wheels self-return and that the tire rolling effortand the road friction be held to a negligible force in orderto allow the customer to direct the vehicle with the leasteffort and the most comfort.
A complete wheel alignment check should include mea-surements of the rear toe and camber.
Four-wheel alignment assures that all four wheels will berunning in precisely the same direction.
When the vehicle is geometrically aligned, fuel economyand tire life are at their peak, and steering and perfor-mance are maximized.
TOE
D16A006A
Toe–in is the turning in of the tires, while toe–out is theturning out of the tires from the geometric centerline orthrust line. The toe ensures parallel rolling of the wheels.
The toe serves to offset the small deflections of thewheel support system which occur when the vehicle isrolling forward. The specified toe angle is the settingwhich achieves–degrees (0�) of toe when the vehicle ismoving.
Incorrect toe-in or toe-out will cause tire wear and re-duced fuel economy. As the individual steering and sus-pension components wear from vehicle mileage,additional toe will be needed to compensate for thewear.
Always correct the toe dimension last.
CASTER
D16A008A
Caster is the tilting of the uppermost point of the steeringaxis either forward or backward from the vertical whenviewed from the side of the vehicle. A backward tilt ispositive, and a forward tilt is negative. Caster influencesdirectional control of the steering but does not affect tirewear. Weak springs or overloading a vehicle will affectcaster. One wheel with more positive caster will pull to-ward the center of the car. This condition will cause thecar to move or lean toward the side with the leastamount of positive caster. Caster is measured in de-grees and is not adjustable.
CAMBER
D16A007A
Camber is the tilting of the top of the tire from the verticalwhen viewed from the front of the vehicle. When thetires tilt outward, the camber is positive. When the tirestilt inward, the camber is negative. The camber angle ismeasured in degrees from the vertical. Camber in-fluences both directional control and tire wear.
If the vehicle has too much positive camber, the outsideshoulder of the tire will wear. If the vehicle has too muchnegative camber, the inside shoulder of the tire will wear.Camber is measured in degrees and is not adjustable.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT 2B– 3
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
STEERING AXIS INCLINATIONSteering Axis Inclination (SAI) is the tilt at the top of thesteering knuckle from the vertical. Measure the SAIangle from the true vertical to a line through the center ofthe strut and the lower ball joint as viewed from the frontof the vehicle.
SAI helps the vehicle track straight down the road andassists the wheel back into the straight ahead position.SAI on front wheel drive vehicles should be negative.
INCLUDED ANGLEThe included angle is the angle measured from the cam-ber angle to the line through the center of the strut andthe lower ball joints as viewed from the front of the ve-hicle.
The included angle is calculated in degrees Most align-ment racks will not measure the included angle directly.To determine the included angle, subtract the negative
or add the positive camber readings to the Steering AxisInclination (SAI).
SCRUB RADIUSThe scrub radius is the distance between true verticaland the line through the center of the strut and lower balljoint to the road surface. Scrub radius is bulit into the de-sign of the vehicle. Scrub radius is not adjustable.
SETBACKThe setback is the distance in which one front hub andbearing assembly may be rearward of the other fronthub and bearing assembly. Setback is primarily causedby a road hazard or vehicle collision.
TURNING ANGLEThe turning angle is the angle of each front wheel to thevertical when the vehicle is making a turn.

FRONT CAMBER AND CASTERCHECKThe front camber and caster are not adjustable. Refer to“Wheel Alignment Specifications” in this section. Jouncethe bumper three times before measuring the camber orthe caster in order to prevent an incorrect reading. If thefront camber or caster measurements deviate from thespecifications, locate and replace or repair any dam-aged, loose, bent, dented, or worn suspension part. Ifthe problem is body related, repair the body.
REAR CAMBER CHECKThe rear camber is not adjustable. Refer to “WheelAlignment Specifications” in this section. If the rear cam-ber deviates from the specification, locate the cause andcorrect it. If damaged, loose, bent, dented, or worn sus-pension parts are found, they should be repaired or re-placed. If the problem is body related, repair the body.
REAR TOE CHECKThe rear toe is not adjustable. Refer to “Wheel Align-ment Specifications” in this section. If the toe deviatesfrom the specification, check the rear axle assembly andthe wheel spindle on vehicles without an anti–lock brak-ing system (ABS) or the rear axle assembly and the huband bearing assembly on vehicles with ABS for possibledamage.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATIONFRONT SUSPENSIONThe front suspension for this vehicle is a combinationknuckle/strut and spring design.
The control arms pivot from the body. The lower controlarm pivots use rubber bushing. The upper end of thestrut is isolated by a rubber mount and contains a bear-ing to allow the wheel to turn.
The lower end of the steering knuckle pivots on a balljoint bolted to the control arm. The ball joint is fastenedto the steering knuckle with a bolt.
When servicing the control arm-to-body attachment andthe stabilizer shaft-to-body insulators, make sure the at-taching bolts are loose until the control arms are movedto the trim height, which is curb height. Trim height is thenormal position to which the control arms move whenthe vehicle is sitting on the ground. Refer to “GeneralSpecifications” in this section.

BALL JOINT AND KNUCKLEBall Joint Inspection1. Raise the front of the vehicle to allow the front sus-
pension to hang free.
2. Grasp the tire at the top and the bottom.
3. Move the top of the tire in an in-and-out motion.
4. Look for any horizontal movement of the knuckle rela-tive to the control arm.
5. Control arms assembly must be replaced if the follow-ing conditions exist:
� The joint is loose.
� The ball seal is cut.
� The ball stud is disconnected from the knuckle.
� The ball stud is loose at the knuckle.
� The ball stud can be twisted in its socket with fingerpressure.
Ball Stud InspectionMake sure to check the tightness of the ball stud in theknuckle boss during each inspection of the ball joint.One way to inspect the ball stud for wear is to shake thewheel and feel for movement of the stud end or the cas-tellated nut at the knuckle boss.
Another way to inspect the ball stud for wear is to checkthe fastener torque at the castellated nut. A loose nut canindicate a stressed stud or a hole in the knuckle boss.
Worn or damaged ball joints and knuckles must be re-placed.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATIONTIRETreadA part (that contacts) road surfaces directly is fixed onthe outside of carcass and breaker. It is a strong rubbercoat made of high anti–abrasion rubber. Its running per-formance depends on is surface profile.
BreakerA cord belt between tread and carcass prevents dam-ages of inner code due to outer shock and vibration.
CarcassThis major part made by pilling code papers of strongsynthetic fiber forms a structure of tire. Since it main-tains tire pressure and endures applied load and shockto tire, it should have a high anti–fatigue characteristic.
BeadA steel wire winding the ending part of carcass code,coated with rubber film and wrapped with nylon cord pa-pers. It fixes tire to a rim.
TubeTires used in mostly current vehicle are mostly tubelesstires.
Side WallIt is provided to improve the comfortable driving by pro-tecting carcass and cushion movement.

HydroplaningThe condition of driving a vehicle fast on the road surfacecovered with water can cause tires to fail to rotate with agood contact on the surface, so results in remaining themafloat. This is so–called hydroplaning. It causes brakefailure, lower tractive force, and losing the steering per-formance so it is very vulnerable condition.
D16A005A
Standing WaveDuring running the rotating tire repeats deformation andrestoring movement generated in tread. But when thewheel rotating speed reaches high, the next deformationapplied to tire before restoring last deformation so thetrembling wave appears in the tread portion. The lowerthe tire pressure the severe the trembling wave appears.And during the high speed.

REPLACEMENT TIRESA Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) specification numberis molded in the sidewall near the tire size of all originalequipment tires. This specification number assures thatthe tire meets performance standards for traction, en-durance, dimensions, noise, handling and rolling resist-ance. Usually a specific TPC number is assigned toeach tire size.
Caution: Do not mix different types of tires on thesame vehicle such as radial, bias and bias-beltedtires except in emergencies, because vehicle han-dling may be seriously affected and may result inloss of control.
Caution: Do not change 145/70 R13 tires or 155/65R13 tires for 175/60 R13 tires, because vehiclehancling may be seriously affected and may resultin loss of control. If you change 145/70 R13 tires or155/65 R13 tires for 175/60 R13 tires, you have tochange the steering gear assembly.
Use only replacement tires with the same size, loadrange, and construction as the original. The use of anyother tire size or construction type may seriously affectride, handling, speedometer/odometer calibration, ve-hicle ground clearance, and tire clearance to the bodyand the chassis. This does not apply to the spare tire fur-nished with the vehicle.
It is recommended that new tires be installed in pairs onthe same axle.
If it is necessary to replace only one tire, pair it with thetire having the most tread to equalize the braking action.
Although they may appear different in tread design, tiresbuilt by different manufacturers with identical TPC speci-fications may be used on the same vehicle.
ALL SEASON TIRESMost vehicles are now equipped with steel-belted allseason radial tires as standard equipment. These tiresqualify as snow tires, with a 37 percent higher averagerating for snow traction than the non-all season radialtires previously used. Other performance areas, such aswet traction, rolling resistance, tread life, and air reten-tion, have also been improved. This was done by im-provements in both tread design and tread compounds.These tires are identified by an “M + S” molded in the tiresidewall following the size number. The suffix “MS” isalso molded in the sidewall after the TPC specificationnumber.
The optional handling tires used on some vehicles arenot all season tires. These will not have the “MS” mark-ing after the tire size or the TPC specification number.
TIRE LABELThe tire label is permanently located on the rear face ofthe driver’s door and should be referred to for tire infor-mation. It lists the maximum vehicle load, the tire size(including the spare tire), and the cold inflation pressure(including the spare tire).
SPARE TIREThis vehicle comes equipped with a full-sized spare tireand wheel.

WHEELSWheels must be replaced if they are bent, dented, haveexcessive lateral or radial runout, leak air through welds,have elongated bolt holes, or if the wheel bolts won’tstay tight or are heavily rusted. Wheels with excessiverunout may cause vehicle vibration. Replacementwheels must be equivalent to the original equipmentwheels in load capacity, diameter, rim width, offset, andmounting configuration. A wheel of improper size or typemay affect wheel and bearing life, brake cooling,speedometer/odometer calibration, vehicle groundclearance, and tire clearance to the body and the chas-sis.
INFLATION OF TIRESThe pressure recommended for any vehicle line is care-fully calculated to give a satisfactory ride, handling,tread life, and load-carrying capacity.
Tire pressure should be checked monthly or before anyextended trip. Check the tires when they are cold, afterthe vehicle has sat for 3 hours or more or has been driv-en less than 1 mile. Set the tire pressure to the specifi-cations on the tire label located on the rear face of thedriver’s door. Tire inflation pressure is also given under“Tire Size and Pressure Specifications” in this section.
Valve caps or extensions should be on the valves tokeep dust and water out.
Higher than recommended tire pressure can cause:
� Hard ride
� Tire bruising or damage
� Rapid tread wear at the center of the tire
Lower than recommended pressure can cause:
� Tire squeal on turns
� Hard steering
� Rapid and uneven wear on the edges of the tread
� Tire rim bruises and rupture
� Tire cord breakage
� High tire temperatures
Unequal tire pressures on same axle can cause:
� Uneven braking
� Steering lead
� Reduced handling
� Swerve on acceleration
� Torque steer
ROTATION TIRESFront and rear tires perform different jobs and can weardifferently depending on the tires of road driven, drivinghabit, etc.
The front tires will wear faster than the rear ones.
To avoid uneven wear of tires and to prolong tire life, in-spect and rotate the tires every 5,000 km (3,100 miles).After rotating the tires, adjust the tire inflation pressuresand be sure to check wheel nuts tightness.

WHEEL BALANCEBalance is the easiest procedure to perform and shouldbe done first if the vibration occurs at high speeds, or ifthe tires or the wheels are replaced.
When proceeding the wheel balancing procedure regardthe belows.
1. Do not use the wheel weight over two at the inboardand the outboard flanges.
2. The total weight of the wheel weights should not ex-ceed the 100 grams (3.5 ounces).
3. Blanching the assemblies with factory aluminumwheels requires the use of special nylon–coated,clip–on wheel weights.

WHEELRemoval Procedure1. Remove the wheel cover on the vehicle equipped
with steel wheel.
2. Loosen the wheel nuts.
3. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
4. Remove the wheel nuts.
Notice: Never use heat to loosen a tight wheel. It canshorten the life of the wheel, the wheel nuts and thewheel bearings. Excessive force, such as hammeringthe wheel or tire, can also cause damage and is not rec-ommended. Slight tapping of the wheel sidewall withone’s hand or with a rubber mallet is acceptable.
5. Remove the wheel.
Difficulty in removing the wheels from the vehicle can bedue to foreign material or to a tight fit between the wheelcenterhole and the hub or the rotor. These wheels canbe removed by
1. Retightening the wheel nuts on the affected wheeland then loosening the wheel nuts by two turns.
2. Lowering the vehicle and rocking it from side to sideas hard as possible, using one or more person’s bodyweight to loosen the wheel.
3. Raising the vehicle and removing the wheel.
Caution: Do not allow the penetrating oil to get onthe vertical surfaces between the wheel and thedrum (or rotor) because penetrating oil in this areacould cause the wheel to work loose as the vehicleis driven, resulting in loss of control and an injuryaccident.
Penetrating oil is not effective in removing tight wheels.If it is used, however, apply it sparingly and only to thewheel’s centerhole area.

Installation ProcedureNotice: Before installing the wheels, remove any build-up of corrosion on the wheel mounting surface and thebrake drum or the rotor mounting surface by scrapingand brushing them with a wire brush. Installing thewheels without good metal-to-metal contact at themounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen,which can later allow a wheel to come off while the ve-hicle is moving. Wheel nuts must be tightened in se-quence and to the proper torque to avoid bending thewheel, the brake drum or the rotor.
1. Mount the wheel.
2. Install the wheel nuts in the diagonally. Do not tightenthe wheel nuts.
3. Lower the vehicle.
TightenTighten the wheel nuts to 90–110 N�m (66–81 lb-ft).
ON-VEHICLE BALANCINGOn-vehicle balancing will help correct vibrations due tobrake drum, rotor, and wheel cover imbalances.
Notice: Do not allow the front suspension to hang free.When the drive axle is run at an extreme angle, extravibrations can occur, as well as damage to seals andjoints.
1. During on-vehicle balancing, do not remove the bal-ance weights from the off-vehicle dynamic balance.
2. If more than 1 ounce of additional weight is required,split the weight between the inner and the outer rimflanges.
3. Spin the driven tire and wheel assemblies using theengine.
OFF-VEHICLE BALANCINGPerform wheel balancing with an electronic off-vehiclebalancer. The balancer is easy to use and gives both astatic and a dynamic balance. Unlike on-vehicle balanc-ing, the off-vehicle balancer does not correct for drum orrotor imbalance. This drawback is overcome by its accu-racy. Secure the wheel on the balancer with a conethrough the back side of the centerhole, not through thewheel nut holes.
CORRECTING NON-UNIFORM TIRESThere are two ways to correct properly balanced tireswhich still vibrate. One method uses an automaticmachine which loads the tire and buffs small amounts ofrubber from high spots on the outer two tread rows.Correction by this method is usually permanent and, if itis done properly, does not significantly affect theappearance or the tread life of the tire. Tire truing with ablade-type machine is not recommended because itsubstantially reduces the tread life and often does notcorrect the problem permanently.
TIRES AND WHEELS 2E – 9
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
Another method is to dismount the tire and rotate it180 degrees on the rim. Do this only on the tire andwheel assemblies which are known to be causing avibration because this method is just as likely to causegood assemblies to vibrate.
TIRE AND WHEELMATCH-MOUNTINGThe tires and wheels are match-mounted at the assem-bly plant. Match-mounting aligns the radially stiffest partof the tire, or high spot, to the smallest radius, or lowspot, of the wheel.
The high spot of the tire is originally marked by a redpaint mark or an adhesive label on the outboard side-wall.
The low spot of the wheel will be at the location of thevalve stem.
Before dismounting a tire from its wheel, scribe a line onthe tire at the valve stem to assure that it is remounted inthe same position.
Replacement tires that are of original equipment qualitywill have their high and low spot marked in the samemanner.
