Also, inspect them for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused
by one or a combination of the following:
Incorrect tyre pressure
l
Improper wheel alignment
l
Out-of-balance wheel
l
Severe braking
l
After rotation, inflate all tyre pressures to
specification (page 10-7) and inspect the
wheel nuts for tightness.
CAUTION
Limited-Slip Differential system;
don't use the following:
Tyres not of the designated size
l
Tyres of different sizes or types at
l
the same time
Tyres not sufficiently inflated
l
If these instructions aren't followed, the
rotation of the left and right wheels will
be different and will thus apply a
constant load on the limited-slip
differential.
This will cause a malfunction.
