New wheel instalation
I decided to go with some new wheels this time around for tires. In the process of mounting them I found that the rear requires more of a man than I to mount(or at least a fixture and better tools than screwdrivers). So, I plan to take them to my local indi, so he can finish mounting the rear, true and balance both.
Now, my question... Checking the manual, they indicate that I will need to check endplay on the wheels(bearings). No problem, I understand that pretty well. But, the new wheels are loaded andhave tags showing they are set at .090(front) and .160(rear).. That seems pretty loose on both. The manual shows that they should be closer to .020-.060". I guess I'm just looking for experience here. Should I pull the old ones apart, use those shims and recheck? or, is there a shim kit available? Just curious what you guys have incountered..
Thanks,
