1. Deformation or damage to the rim may cause air leakage. Check the rim flange for deformation, cracks or damage, and repair or replace as necessary.
2. Jack-up the vehicle until wheels clear the floor.
3. Slowly rotate the wheel to check rim "runout" using a dial gauge.

5. If the measured runout still exceeds specifications, replace the wheel.
