4.1 Spin Test

The spin test will tell you whether your front tire is off balance, the rim is
bent, or if you reassembled something incorrectly.

How to Perform the Spin Test

 Step1: To perform the test you must first make sure that your front tire is
off of the ground.
 Step2: Begin to rotate the front wheel in either direction.
 Step3: Interpret your results:
o Tire is wobbling—
Either rim is bent or the axle was not reassembled properly.
o Tire swings back and forth to a stop—
Something in the tire is off balance.
o Spin the front tire to check for any problems that may exist.
