On my wheels the valve stem and one of the lug holes line up. Assuming the valve stem is 12 o’clock, on the left side both of the locking lugs are in the 12 o’clock hole, the right side the front is at 2:20 and the rear is at 4:40. Which is correct?
I just jacked up the front wheels one at a time and had my wife spin them by hand while I observed and measured. Visually they both appear straight on the inside and outside against the shaft of the dial caliper. I set up the dial caliper, the left front measured +/-.003” on the inside machined surface, outside measured +/-.005” with one peak at +.010” from center. The right front measured +/-.004” on the inside machined surface, outside measured +/-.006” with one peak at +.012”. Everything else (sway bar links, cv shafts) seems tight when I pull on it. I don’t hear any strange noises like bearings or brake issues. The left front tire has 1.25 oz of weight to balance, the right front tire has .5 oz of weight to balance.
