   Tire slipping on rim and vibration reduction

   1. 1Fault

      • Shifting fault
      • Vibration or shudder
      • Vibration shortly after tires are mounted may come from the tires slipping on the wheels, which moves the imbalance point of the tire away from the weight location.

   2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • Wheel slip occurs when the tire slips and rotates on the wheel during acceleration or braking.
      • It is usually caused by an excessive amount of lubricant or lubricant applied in the wrong locations.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. Check for wheel slip by placing a temporary mark on the tire at the valve stem.
      2. If the slip after driving is greater than one inch and a ride disturbance was felt on the test drive, wheel slip may be causing the vibration.

   3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. Clean any leftover demounting lubricant from the bead seat areas of the wheel.
      2. On the wheel, lubricate the safety humps, leave the rim flanges dry, and lubricate the drop center only for difficult to mount tires.
      3. Inflate the tires to 275 kPa (40 psi) when mounting, then reduce to the operating pressure.

      Caution

      • This test is only effective if the vehicle was serviced within the last couple of hours.
      • Do not use products containing silicone, alcohol, petroleum based products, solvents or corrosives for cleaning or lubrication.
      • Do not drive the vehicle aggressively (hard acceleration or braking) for up to 24 hours after tire mounting, so that the lubricant can dry.
