Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that
is
bent, cracked, or badly rusted
or corroded.
If
wheel nuts keep coming loose, the wheel,
wheel bolts and wheel nuts should be replaced.
If
the
wheel leaks air, replace
it
(except some aluminum
wheels, which can sometimes be repaired). See your
Buick dealer
if
any
of
these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same load-carrying
capacity, diameter, width, offset and be mounted the
sarne way as the one it replaces.
If
you need to replace
any
of
your wheels, wheel bolts or
wheel nuts, replace them
only
with new
GM
original
equipment parts.
This
way, you will be sure to have the right
wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts for yonr Buick model.
Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel bolts
or wheel nuts
on
your vehicle can be dangerous.
It could affect the braking and handling
of
your
vehicle, make your tires lose air a,nd make you
lose control.
You
could have
a
collision in which
you or others could be injured. Always use
the correct wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts
for replacement.
NOTICE:
The wrong wheel can also cause problems with
bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer or
odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper
height, vehicle ground clearance and tire or tire
chain clearance to the body and chassis.
See “Changing a Flat Tire” in the Index for
