Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Inspection and Verification

Special Tools:






1. Inspect for signs of uneven wear that may indicate a need for balancing, rotation, front suspension alignment, damaged tie-rod, or steering idler arm.
2. Check tires for:
- cuts.
- stone bruises.
- abrasions.
- blisters.
- embedded objects.
3. More frequent inspections are recommended when rapid or extreme temperature changes occur, or where road surfaces are rough or occasionally littered with foreign material.
4. Tread wear indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. Install a new tire when the indicator bands become visible.
