On-Vehicle Balancing

On-Vehicle Balancing
On-vehicle balancing will help correct vibrations due to brake drum, rotor, and wheel cover imbalances.

CAUTION: Do not allow the front suspension to hang free. When the drive axle is run at an extreme angle, extra vibrations can occur, as well as damage to seals and joints.

1. During on-vehicle balancing, do not remove the balance weights from the off-vehicle dynamic balance.
2. If more than 1 ounce of additional weight is required, split the weight between the inner and the outer rim flanges.





3. Spin the driven tire and wheel assemblies using the engine.
