Default Re: Tps

Anyone have the TPMS come apart in the wheel.

I just was checking my car out after the California festival of speed and I heard a grinding noise in the left rear wheel. I have read several threads that could be indicative of a loose wheel and potential damage. I checked the CL torque and it was accurate. So I pulled wheel and rolled it. The TPMS was loose in wheel. I am taking to tire store tomorrow for a look. I will post pics if anyone is interested.

Thanks

I've heard that one or two times before, infrequent occurance I think, but apparently possible. I assume these are the stock units. I'd love to see some pics, may be we can tell how the heck it happens.

Thanks,

I've broken 3 or 4 so far but they all just went dead but attached or were broken when mounting/dismounting track tires.

I had a leak at the TPMS stem (997**** TPMS). Found that all four were not a snug as they should be. I give them a check while performing wheel torque check w/ a 11mm wrench before my first track session of the day.

No definitive torque due to the O ring setup. Over tightening could destroy the O ring seal!
