Wheel Balancing: Inspection
- Proper wheel balance may be lost if the tire is repaired or if it wears. Check the tire for dynamic balance, and repair as necessary.
- To check for dynamic balance, use a dynamic balancer. Drive in the balance weight on both the top and rear sides of the rim.
- Some types of balancer can cause damage to the wheel. Use an appropriate balancer when adjusting the wheel balance.
- Use genuine balance weights.
