It Happened To Him – It Could Happen To You
Once during Routine Service, the Author of this book ( James
Halderman )rotated the tires on a Pontiac Trans AM. Every-
thing went well and he even used a Torque Wrench to properly
Torque all of the Lug Nuts.
When he went to drive the car out of the Service Stall, he heard
a horrible grinding sound. When he hoisted the car to investigate,
he discovered that the front wheels were hitting the Outer Tie Rod
Ends. The 16” wheels had a different backspacing front and rear,
therefore ; these wheels could not be Rotated ( Front to Rear )
Tip : Always check replacement or Aftermarket wheels for proper
fit before driving the vehicle.
