Balancing Wire Wheels
|
Correct wheel balancing may be affected by a number of factors, including damage to the wheel or uneven tread wear.
If vibration should occur through the steering wheel or through the body of the car, and the cause is not disclosed by mechanical investigation, then the complete tyre and wheel unit should be checked for balance.
It is essential that the wheels are located on the balancing machine in exactly the same manner as located on the car and the factory truing jigs. Alternatively, balance in position on the vehicle.
