Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance<br />

The tires and wheels on your vehicle were aligned and<br />

balanced carefully at the factory to give you the longest<br />

tire life and best overall performance. Adjustments to<br />

wheel alignment and tire balancing will not be necessary<br />

on a regular basis. However, if you notice unusual tire<br />

wear or your vehicle pulling to one side or the other,<br />

the alignment might need to be checked. If you notice<br />

your vehicle vibrating when driving on a smooth road,<br />

the tires and wheels might need to be rebalanced.<br />

See your dealer/retailer for proper diagnosis.<br />

Wheel Replacement<br />

Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked, or badly rusted<br />

or corroded. If wheel nuts keep coming loose, the wheel,<br />

wheel bolts and wheel nuts should be replaced. If the<br />

wheel leaks air, replace it (except some aluminum<br />

wheels, which can sometimes be repaired). See your<br />

dealer/retailer if any of these conditions exist.<br />

Your dealer/retailer will know the kind of wheel<br />

you need.<br />

Each new wheel should have the same load-carrying<br />

capacity, diameter, width, offset and be mounted<br />

the same way as the one it replaces.<br />

If you need to replace any of the wheels, wheel bolts,<br />

wheel nuts or Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)<br />

sensors, replace them only with new <strong>GM</strong> original<br />

equipment parts. This way, you will be sure to have<br />

the right wheel, wheel bolts, wheel nuts, and TPMS<br />

sensors for the vehicle.<br />
