02 mercury mountaineer rim type

Asked by XGodlessX Apr 09, 2018 at 09:43 AM about the 2002 Mercury Mountaineer AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Will having 1 steel rim and 3 aluminum rims affect awd? My wife wrecked our mountaineer and the bead broke on the one factory aluminum rim, we put the spare on it which is a steel rim and now it has a humming noise and jerks when hitting bumps

1 Answer

The aluminum rims bead snapped, she slid on ice and flipped it on its side, we replaced thr trail arm and have been looking for another aluminum rim, i dont have the tire size with me ill check when she gets home, the steel rim is full sized spare, would changing the tire from the aluminum rim to the steel help?
