I had a new tire losing air and had a hard time finding the leak. What I found was very interesting. I have a total of ten after-market wheels. Every wheel has a chrome valve stem with a relatively thick rubber washer on the inside of the wheel. The leak was due to the outside nut being loose. Here is the issue, eight of the ten wheels had the same problem. I am guessing that the vibration and centrifugal forces tend to permanently compress the washer. It only takes about one-half turn with a socket to tighten the assembly. If you have a slow leak you might want to check the valve stem area
For those that have a drive-on lift. I bought a lift in early winter. I also bought the jack tray for removal of wheels. I then bought an air powered jack and a couple of shorty hydraulic jacks to make thinks easy. The air jack will not fit due to the low clearance. The shorty hydraulic jacks do not have enough travel to remove the wheels. Guess what, the factory jack works perfectly for wheel removal. I use an air tool and a 3/4" socket to lift the car at the factory jack points. When you lower the car do not use the air tool, the downward movement is too abrupt with the air tool. The jack tray is useful for transmission work. If anyone has an Eagle lift, I have an extra jack tray.
