WARNING: Failure to torque wheel nuts as specified could allow wheels to
come off while the motorhome is in motion, causing loss of control and
possible collision.
Follow the schedule for regular wheel nut checks as outlined in the chassis manufacturer’s
owner’s manual. If you suspect that the wheel nuts have loosened at any time, have the
wheel nuts checked, and if necessary torque the nuts to the proper limits immediately.
If you suspect or notice wheel stud bolts are cracked or broken, they must be replaced, along
with adjacent bolts that have probably also been weakened due to additional stress placed on
them. You, as the owner of the motorhome, need to make frequent inspections of the wheels
and tires, looking for signs of wear or damage. Avoid abusive driving such as impacting curbs
and pot holes at high speeds.
NOTE: The proper way of tightening wheel nuts is with a torque wrench, not with an
impact wrench or by hand. Because of the importance of having the proper torque on
wheel nuts, you should have wheels mounted by authorized personnel with the proper
tools.
Handling and tire wear can be enhanced by maintaining the proper balance of wheel and tire
assemblies. It is important to have wheel and tire balancing checked on a regular basis. If
you experience handling problems or abnormal tire wear, it may be easily corrected by proper
balance. Specialized equipment is required to achieve proper balancing, and the motorhome
should be taken to a shop that is qualified to perform this service.
The term alignment refers to the adjustment angles on the steering axle, as well as, the
suspension and the tracking of the rear axle. Many factors are considered when establishing
proper alignment. Steering components, suspension, wheel bearings, and even proper
loading all effect alignment.
Maintaining proper wheel alignment will result in increased steering ease and stability of the
motorhome. As a result of proper alignment, tires and suspension will last longer and fuel
economy can be increased. Any time you notice unusual tire wear or experience poor
handling of the motorhome, it would be wise to suspect improper alignment along with the
various other possibilities that might be causing the problem (check the chassis owner’s
manual). Always have the alignment of the motorhome checked and adjusted by a qualified
service technician with the proper equipment to handle heavy vehicles.
