Tire and Wheel Balance

STANDARD PROCEDURE - TIRE AND WHEEL BALANCE

NOTE: Balance equipment must be calibrated and maintained per equipment manufacturer's specifications to achieve preferred results.

It is recommended that a two-plane dynamic balancer designed to balance using stick-on type wheel weights be used when a wheel and tire assembly requires balancing. Static balancing equipment should only be used when a two-plane balancer is not available. Balance tire and wheel assemblies to less than 0.25 (1/4) ounce (7.0 grams) imbalance.





This vehicle is equipped with wheels that do not have a flange on the outer face. For that reason, clip-on wheel weights cannot be used on the outer face of any wheel and must not be used on the inner face due to clearance issues. In their place, stick-on type weights must be used. Wheel weights may be placed in locations indicated in figure (Fig. 9).
