Vibration Analysis Worksheet Service Bulletin
1Fault
2Finding the cause
Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)
- When diagnosing vibration, use the worksheet together with the Vibration Analysis - Road Testing procedure in the service information.
- Place the sensor where the vibration is felt: on the seat track for a seat complaint, on the steering column for a steering wheel complaint.
- Moving the sensor to other areas, look for the same Hz reading with the greatest amplitude.
- If a system balance was attempted and the vibration remains, check ring gear backlash at each tooth; readings should not vary more than 0.050 mm (0.002 in).
- Aluminum wheel/tire runout measured on the vehicle: maximum 0.030 in (.762 mm).
