WHEEL BALANCING Wheels must be balanced to improve handling and reduce vibration, especially at high road speeds. In most cases, static balancing using WHEEL TRUING STAND (Part No. HD- 95500-80) will produce satisfactory results. Dynamic balancing, utilizing a wheel spinner, should be used to produce finer tolerances for best high speed handling char- Follow the instructions supplied with the balance machine The maximum weight permissible to accomplish balance is 3.5 oz. (99 g) total weight applied on the rim. Wheels should be balanced to within 0.5 oz. (14 g) at 60 mph (97 km/h). Table 2-9. Wheel Weights SIZE GRAMS 28 21 14 7 7
