There is one more important tip guys. Everyone of these vendors copy one another so they all have a common design flaw. It's not bad under no load. Will become more obvious under full tire load where if you tip one spot then tip the opposite and it refutes to return to exact same spot then you need to do this. Open up the flare receptacle side of the head until it's bigger the sitting pin. Just be careful to not drill to the same pin depth. By default I've seen everyone of these balancers were having 2mm smaller receptacle than the pin diameter so it will get stuck on one side under full load. Go ahead bore out the receptacle to 1/2" of an inch by slowly working your way up from 1/4" to cause the flare to open up to a nice V so the pin moves freely under heavy load. Because there is a design flaw, don't be bashful to get the cheapest unit you can get your hands on because you will mod it regardless. I paid $25 for mine from Harbor Freight clearance. Other good folks on Amazon showed me this and now it's working like a champ. My only complain is the bubble is so hard to read. They could've made us a fatter bubble with hair line cross.

There is a strobe light balance method to balance the wheel while it is on the car itself... the point is to balance the effects of the brake rotars... I had a BMW c a problem of vibration and this helped to cancel out vibrations of wheels to point to another problem...the rear driveshaft was also out of balance.

@TutorialGenius 2 жыл бұрын

This method is very unreliable though. I wouldnt recommend it to anybody

I seen something years ago about static balancing, and your not supposed to balance the tire 180 degrees from the heavy spot . You should use a Y pattern. Same technique but move your weights away from the balance point until you get a Y pattern and it will help keep the tire in balance longer as the balance points will be triangular on the tire in 3 points . Great video on the whole setup to checking everything. Try one with the Y pattern and do un updated video on that would be cool too .

@TutorialGenius Жыл бұрын

It's a theory for sure but spinning and checking does pretty much the same thing. Do a video and link me to it when you're done. ill see

@steveriley1000 Жыл бұрын

@@TutorialGenius , I may have not said it correctly, put the weights on the rim in a Y pattern from the heavy spots . Not in the verifying of the out of balance. That was truly great presentation in your video. I don’t have one of these balance machines but may have to look into it for my trailer tires .

Does it work on motorcycle tires as well

@ItsFriscoBaby Жыл бұрын

A motorcycle balancer is even easier to use than these. It's just a level pole and you let the heavy part go to the bottom. Works so well motogp teams use it

@Renosapien 11 ай бұрын

If you have aftermarket rims they are most likely only going to get static balanced because you won’t be putting weights on the outside of the rim. Only the inside. How many people have aftermarket rims and never have any problems? Those are my thoughts at least.

@TutorialGenius 11 ай бұрын

Not necessarily! They can have slight imbalances straight out of the factory. This can also change if you hit a curb or anything to upset the natural balance of the wheel. It's not just weights that change the balance and its not aftermarket vs OEM which denote where the weights go

@daves2433 5 ай бұрын

No mention of repositioning the wheel on the balancer to make sure it wasn't sitting crooked? I do that along with the rotate and let it stop a few times to make sure the bubble is pointing in the same direction like you described. Once in a while it may not sit quite centered... like if there's junk on the wheel center / bolt face.

First video I ever heard someone say NOT to remove all weights first! That is what I think too... See where you are first. Question though, when you find balance is off, with original weights on, why not add weight to bring it into balance without removing all weights and starting fresh? May not have had to add as much fresh weights. Very good video though, explained well! If you see this, could you answer as to why not just add to wheel already with weights on? Thanks!!

@TutorialGenius 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, you could. There is not really a right or wrong answer. If the balance is off though, and you have weights on then you might as wel remove them. 1. Aesthetics. Nobody wants a wheel full of weights (applies to clip on's). 2. Its just more weights to lose when driving, they can fly off. 3. Well you have the tools already, might as well do it properly. Seems like a bit of a hack job. but back to the start, it doesnt really matter, choice if yours, but i always like doing a proper job.

Not I didn't! But I would 100% check if the tip is smooth and pointy!

@daves2433 5 ай бұрын

I had to midify mine, there was a ~1/8" hole that didn't actually contact the tip of the base, it was a ring around it. That ring made it far less sensitive and sticky, even with grease on it.

@pablojimenez5736 2 жыл бұрын

Static balancing doesn't guarantee the wheel will remain balanced when rotating...so what the point to gamble with the balancing? I guess the only advantage of static balancing portable machine is check if basic wheel balancing is still in your wheels, but not a final balancing. For correct balancing, is necessary to balance in a machine of dynamic balancing

@mymorristribe 2 жыл бұрын

I started researching this after treadwright tires recommended static balancing. I've had dynamic balancing done twice on my truck, but I still get the freeway jitters at 80mph, so I thought I'd try this "after" and in addition to the already completed dynamic balancing. If this doesn't work, I'll know those tires just suck.

it works good , but this is a static balance, not a dynamic balance, with wheel moving, plus it doesnt account for road force vibration. So, its a decent, but not perfect balance.
