A. Inspect the Front Wheel Hubs For Looseness
1. Place vehicle in position to be lifted on the hoist and apply the "Park" brake, but do not pick up the vehicle.2. Without depressing the brake pedal, start the engine and turn the steering wheel 1/4 of a turn (90 degrees) to the left and right. Repeat this 4 - 5 times, making sure the vehicle's wheels are pointing straight ahead when complete.
3. Without depressing the brake pedal, turn off the vehicle.
4. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
5. Grasp the top and bottom of the tire and check for looseness of the wheel assembly by alternately pulling the top and bottom of the tire (Figure 1):
> If there is no looseness in either front wheel, no further action is required.
Lower the vehicle from the hoist and return the vehicle to the customer.
> If there is looseness in one or both front wheels, continue with Section B.
