HERE'S A VIDEO FURTHER EXPLAINING THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE 3 SCREWS ruclips.net/video/oAVCrdpxZnU/видео.html
The adjustment screws are so you can use it on unlevel ground. You can adjust it to be level on a slight incline.
Like a garage floor 😊
nope that's not the reason
I just bought one and used it today. It worked well right out of the box. No adjustments needed.
over time you'll find you'll need the adjust aka recalibrate it
Know this video is old, but watching this and reading comments that were actually informative helped me balance my 37x13.50x17 TOYO MTs (beadlocks wheels) Information such as grease the pin (I used bearing grease) and also used a level to verify the device was truly balanced before I placed the tire on. Once verify placed the tires on and within a couple minutes each tires was balanced according to the bubble and level. I used glue on weights and stacked them accordingly. I’ll ensure they are balance after I finish my Jeep lift.
Thanks for the video and to those who actually put informative comments.
I'm glad you found it to be helpful!
For those, balance beads from counteract or similar would be your best bet. My local tire shop uses them exclusively in anything bigger than 33s
AWESOME SHARE .. The reason they don't set it up level is because every floor you set it up on will be different in level .. Great tool share ! Thumbs up man..
ShawnMrFixitlee I really think it's to save a few bucks in manufacturing costs. The balancing cone sits on a small pivot and finds its own level regardless of the angle of the vertical shaft. I moved the balancer all around the garage and it's stays level after the initial setup. Thats my theory anyway, I've been wrong before.
I think you're right. If there were no adjustment, then you'd have to compensate for the miscalibration every time you used it. Even the most expensive equipment out there needs to be calibrated before use, even when new!
The main reason is not leveled is, so the purchaser could notice it right away that’s it’s not level and proper level it. Also these are shipped all over the world and level tends to shift depending your location of the hemisphere. Good to share
@@SkylarHillShop - The adjustment is really needed! Even if one can't grasp the concept. At least believe in the cynically evident extra cost & labor!
If the Chinese manufacturers, could skip making the holes, plus threaded holes, plus screws, than put it all together. OR just fix the bubble with a drop of super glue!!!
Don't you think they would do it? ;-)
BTW the adjustment has nothing to do with the ground level! It's the resting head that need adjustment. Yes, they could perfectly balance it. But your invoice would have a different value, higher I mean! It's all cost vs functionality. ;-)
@@SkylarHillShop I guess balancing out of the factory will double it's price - would require some clever automation to get that going in factor.
Not everyone’s floors are perfectly level, hence the bubble level
Watch this ruclips.net/video/oAVCrdpxZnU/видео.html
aXe my bad bro! Now I’m the idiot
I didn't explain it very well in the first video either!
I dont know why they just cant make it level from factory. LMBO , Lost me right there.
Worrying demonstration
wow. i've never trusted that any of the shops i bring my car to actually does a good job balancing my tires. i'm just going to do it myself from now on.
They do work pretty good I bought one about 5 years ago along with the manual tire changer
I've have had good results both as well.
This tool and a hand powered tire mounting machine will cost you less than a mechanic would charge to do it for you
Thank you for the video. I especially appreciate the price you paid and the date…that helps put it in perspective.
Glad it was helpful!
The adjustment screws are needed because there is no way to predict the level of the ground you'll be working on.
If we swing the wheel on this balancer it settle in 2-3 seconds the chance is high that the pin receiver hole is too deep. Because the pin’s cone body is rubbing the receiver barrel at the nozzle. The design was intended to have the hole ceiling resting on cone pin tip. That was discovered by a RUclips channel.
A good manufactured sample can let tire swing for ten seconds at 1-2 inch swing.
good information, i will have to look into this. do you have the search terms for this video. thanks
@@hhn2002 sorry I didn’t record the link.
Here is a way to test for manufacturer error.
(1)
Use fine sand paper to remove paint or black oxide on cone.
Use layout ink or sharpie to coat the cone surface.
Sit the bubble level assembly on the cone and spin it one turn slowly.
Inspect if any rubbing on the cone.
(2)
Correction, if we find rubbing.
use drill bit 1.5 to 3x the bore diameter to slowly and progressively chamfer the muzzle until we see no rubbing on the entire cone.
(3)
Further upgrade?
Once we fixed the rubbing problem, ask your machinist friend to lathe the cone tip, form convex to concave (90-120 degrees) to a depth of 1/4 of original nuzzle diameter. Suspend the bubble level assembly on the mock up cone with a steel bearing ball in between them, to watch the tire never stop swing. :)
Really good no messing about video balance get the weight on then move onto the next wheel 👍
The adjustment screws are important because some garages may not be perfectly level themselves.
Not talking about mechanics, but home garages and driveways and such.
The level of the base makes no difference. The top part rides on a very small pivot point.
Thanks for sharing, I’m getting one tomorrow. May I also say it cracks me up how many comments say it’s because the garage floor isn’t level. Haha the floor has nothing to do with it as you have tried to explain to most of them. I guess they recalibrate all of their 4 foot levels they buy too...
As nothing to do with the ground, it's the "head" that's adjusted!
when he complains about having to adjust the bubble on his garage floor and says "Why can't they just make it perfectly level from the factory" ....hahaha, learning is fun
The factory predict how uneven your garage floor is. Thanks for the upload! Great info!
Thanks for the Video ive been wanting to get one now i know it doe's work ...
great video thanks Mr.
im no engineer but i would assume the adjusting screws are there because everyones floor is probably leveled differently
Check out this video ruclips.net/video/oAVCrdpxZnU/видео.html
The mounting Bobbin 😊
Correct me if I'm wrong but... Aren't you suppossed to take off the retainers at the bottom of the balancing cone that has the springed rods so that the flange set moves up and down depending on the weight of the wheel?
Nope, no need to take off anything . If we're talking about the same retainers, those actually keep the whole thing together. It compresses on the springed rods as is.
When u installed it to your vehicle was it fully ballanced or some vibration still occur
It was fully balanced, no noticable vibration.
I have two of them both came a plate that bolts to the rim so it centers it on balancer. I used it on Humvee tires with no problems
Did you buy a Harbor Freight one, or other? I ask as I'm not sure what "plate" you are referring too. The stats show this works on hubs up to 4 inches. My hubs are larger than that, I would assume Humvee wheels would be as well. However I would think a plate adapter would work.
Always remember, alloy wheels and steel wheels use different weights...
Thanks for the reminder. Also there are several styles of alloy weights as well. From my experience you really only need two. One for cars from Japan and one for everything else. However they make many more styles than that.
Thanks i just bought one looks simple enough
It is very simple. The best advice I can give is just the patient if you try to do it too quickly you're not going to get very good results.
LOL brilliant I didn't know they make such thing LOL awesome finding!
How did this end up working btw? Did it eliminate any vibrations/shaking, even though you didn't roadforce balance it? Thanks
It works great, no vibrations!
"i don't know why they can't build the thing where it's balanced from the factory". They can, however they cannot ensure the surface you place it on is flat and square to the top of the tool. Hence the adjustment screws.......
My guess is those three screws are to fine tune a possible off level surface that the machine is sitting on. But helpful video just wondering how it compares to an actual tire balancing machine
I've been a technician for several years and ive just about balanced every tire you could think of and im here to tell you that that machine is not 100% accurate. The machine i use at work has lasers that measure the tire not only statically but dynamically aswell and not to mention they the machine i use measures the vibration in the rim so that it can determine a proper weight due to road conditions. Thats a simple static balancing tool that gets its close enough i know cause i bought one and then when it was balanced i took it to my job to see if it was balanced or if it was just a scam and not to bash harbor freight it was pretty close but still it was .75 off which is not crazy but long story short you aren't paying techs to just balance your tires you're paying them to balance your tires on a trusted machine that cost upwards of $5,000-7,000 and is calibrated every 6 months to ensure quality again not bashing anyone but thats the sad truth theres no cheap way when it comes to balancing tires. Now on the other hand harbor freights tire removal device actually does work 100% and is user friendly.
The 2 main tire places in my area, Place #1. Their balancer is usually broken. Place#2. They love to add giant ugly weights all over rims. I feel like you could take the same wheel to them and they would add weights everytime. How bad could this thing be? Lol
I never balance my tires, I never have a problem
Can the weight be put on the other side of wheel? If you have nice looking wheels I wouldn't want to see a weight.
I've also used the self adhesive weights before with good results. Nice and hidden on the inside of the rim.
The black dot represents the base of the balancer while the bubble represents the pendulum?
So, you are centering the black dot with the base /floor in preliminary adjustment
next level the bubble ?
Then centering the mounted wheel/rim tire on the balancer
if weight exceeds 1/2 ounce on outside mark inside of rim with tape and adhere/ install 50% of weight on the Inside at same point of diameter.
Great video 👍🏻
Thanks!
When you pull the parts out and put them together you find a sticker that says up to 15 in light truck tires. I've got 16 and now most are 18-22 in wheels. 15 in wheels were popular in the early 80's. Are you kidding me?
Are these things accurate? Without spinning the tire 60mph and adjusting accordingly along with a balance at stand still (like this) I’m wondering if it works lol
( after 3 months of research. You don’t wanna balance a tire this idc what you say. Definitely don’t balance a bmw or Mercedes rims this way. Or any car with high end tires)
The larger the tire the more precise you need to be. It's much easier with small car tires. But yes, if you take your time you can have very good results.
they make the adjustments because most garage slabs arnt perfectly level.
Should you put a weight on each side of the rim? Or is it ok to just weight one side??
I usually just do one side unless it's Alot of weight. Usually more than 1.5oz or so then I'll split it on both sides of the wheel.
Yes you should split it
How was the ride quality?
Nice & smooth no vibration!
Nice 4th gen explorer and great video.
Thanks!
Thanks for video!
Good video.
to those that say " i dont know why they dont machine it perfectly at the factory ". Even if they did machine it perfectly wear and tear with make the bubble glowed of Wack, that is why it needs to be adjustable a.k.a. Recalibrated from time to time
The pro tools have adjusting feet to level the base. Hydrostatic balancing is the best way to go.
Hydrostatic lol
Well it is "portable" so being able to set the "zero" should be a feature.
Check this video out! The adjustability has absolutely nothing to do with the level of the floor. It's only there to make up for manufacturing inconsistencies.
ruclips.net/video/oAVCrdpxZnU/видео.html
@@SkylarHillShop I stand corrected.
What size tire is the max this would take?
As long as the center hole in the rim is less than 4" it will fit. No exact tire size limit is given by the manufacturer. I would assume its not designed for big Mud tires, Semi tires, Ag tires etc.
Weights go the back of the wheel
You ever think that the adjustment is to account for not being on a perfectly flat surface or maybe for recalibrating the tool before shitting on HF for making affordable tools? Not all shop/garage floors are perfectly flat and level. In reality, none of them are actually perfectly flat and level. No tire balancer comes absolutely perfect and ready to go. Our $30,000 hunter balancer has to he recalibrated every so often or it doesn't balance tires right. I'd say for under $100, it's hard to beat considering it does work.
Nope, this time it's just poor manufacturing. It is nice too be able to adjust if the top portion became damaged though...
ruclips.net/video/oAVCrdpxZnU/видео.html
that zoom in focus got me crossed eyed but great video subscribed thanks!
Where did you get your balancing weights?
eBay, I bought an assortment of sizes.
Now take it to a tire shop and spin it up on a balance machine and see how close it is.
It won't be close at all.
It might come as a surprise. But a good technician, who really know what is doing, can do a pretty decent job with a static balancer!
Now with that said. Modern dynamic wheel balancer machines do have a myriad of advantages! One obviously is not the price... But the fact that any moron with two hands can do a decent job balancing a tire! And be rather quick about it.
The fact that by far and wide the vast majority of daily drivers wouldn't notice any difference will tell you something! ;-)
Good lookin tires, I have a set of Toyo A/T's on my truck and the tread pattern is damn near the same as yours, which is odd since your tires are a different brand... huh?🤔
Why they can't build it balanced from the factory:
Because your garage floor isn't level. It's built on a slope, for drainage purposes. I doubt any two garage floors are on exactly the same slope. They would have to build this the way they have, so everyone can set it for their own floor.
Are you not meant to split the weight in half and mount on each side of wheel?
If it's off alot of weight I will do that. less than 1.5oz or so and i dont mess with it.
It’s adjustable because not all surfaces are level. It’s for leveling the tool, not balancing it. Do you really not get that??
@George Kirby check this out
ruclips.net/video/oAVCrdpxZnU/видео.html
all floors are not level. it allows you to level even with your floor uneven
Do you just eyeball that the wheel is centered on the ring?
It self centers
Oh no do you have a cold 😂
Nope, I feel fine.......today anyway
How can I know if the waights are going to go inside or outside?
Typically I just put them on the outside. If it needs more than 1.75oz or so. I split the amount and put 1/2 on each side.
I have no sound but can you balance 16 inch SUV tires and 18 in car tires?
Yes, however i will say this. The larger the tire, the harder it will be to balance.
Cool.. save $, do it yourself..
10 dollars each tire at the shop..
more like $20 just starting
@@PC_CERTIFIED $20 each tire? Where are you going lmao
Well dang I wonder could I balance my 35x12.5r15 and 37x12.5r17 tires with this????? Or would they be to big???? Cause they always expensive to balance!
I doubt it. Those things suck to balance, hence they're expensive to balance.
cuz your surface you are working on might not be level. That's why the adjustment.
ruclips.net/video/oAVCrdpxZnU/видео.html
I call that balancing mechanism a “gimbal”.
no u didnt show the tire out of balance
It just balances the outside of the wheel, no inner wheel weights???
If it doesn't need much I just put it on the outside. It it needs alot I'll put half inside and half outside.
Those things seem overpriced for what it is. HF is making a killing on the mark up.
You got those free Menards gloves! Awesome!
Matt Garza of course I did can't pass up free Menards merch.
@@SkylarHillShopwish we had a Menards here in Colorado, I miss the one in Hudson Wisconsin.
@powerwagon3731 Literally my favorite store.
where can I order that Item Sir? and can deliver here in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia?
surplus center I don't know if they would ship it overseas
Thanks
You're welcome have a great weekend!
How do you know how much lb weight to start with?
Just a guess. Set the weight on the wheel and see if you need more or less.
Its cheaper on Amazon. Only $70. I
hear the stick on weights are better.
Whatever the version of weights you intend to use. The "are better" mean basically nothing! As long as the weight is within the right amount and on the right spot... Those are the conditions to make them "better"! ;-)
Grande
I was wondering if there's any difference to putting the wheel on the balancer because I have the stick on weights. BTW, I just bought the same balancer at Costway for 54.95 free ship/no tax
Richard Blandy it would be the same. Just note where the weight needs to go. Remove wheel from balancer and install your stick on weights.
your adjusting for the levelness of your garage floor
Check out this follow up video I did.
ruclips.net/video/oAVCrdpxZnU/видео.html
With no tire mounted, the bubble should be in the center. If not, adjust before mounting tire.
My local NTB charges $5/tire to balance. This cost $80+ at most Harbor Freight stores. I would rather take my truck to NTB have 100% of the work done for me using a professional computer balance tool......also, as for the screws to adjust the bubble balancer, I would assume they all need some type of adjustment as most every garage floor isnt level. So you would need to adjust the bubble depending on where you're doing the balance at.
Wow that's cheap! I would go that route as well if there was a reputable shop around here with those prices.
$5 balancing? You're asleep.
I need to live where you are then. I called NTB near me to have 2 tires dismounted and 2 new tires mounted/balanced and they wanted 60 bucks! 30 to mount and 30 to balance.
$5 is so cheap I got charged $20 to bring in the wheel with out the car. I want to live where you live.
@@dniksich AND you would have had to wait 1.5 to 2 hours also.
Where did u buy the big dog bone
I don't remember. Their website is bonecreeper.com
All floors aren't created equal hence why the adjustability

That is not balanced. How do you know if you need weight on the front (outside)or back (inside)of your tires
If it needs 1.5oz or more I will split the amount and put half on each side. No it's not as good as a modern spin balancer, but this is how it used to be done. The tires are vibration-free up to 75mph good enough for me.
aXe that’s awesome that it really works. I’m gonna try it
These shit does not work. If you pick up the wheel and put it back on the balancer the reading would be different again.
Yeah it's a piece of crap. I got one, did the modifications using a steel ball. Learned that if you reposition the wheel it will give a different reading. Not only that, even if you managed to duplicate the position every time, this manual tire balancer does nothing to help you where you need to place the weights (outside? Inside?). Even with an understanding of weight distribution, you're left to your best judgment - and that's just too much tinkering. Best just to get a computerized balancer if you're serious about doing it right.
The ballance adjusters are meant more for your floor, hardly anything in the world is perfectly level
Only one way this balancer will work correctly because cone is not perfect shape. Do not level bubble without wheel on the cone because cone is wrong shape. Shape of the cone even will changed for different wheels hole size. 1. Remove springs and holding ring completely in garbage. 2. Inside the cone make center hole wider with about 10mm drill bit. But do not drill deeper than oringinal hole center located. Add drop of water to drill easier. 3. Gently with grinder or file make the cone support the shape of a bullet without touching the very tip. 4. Gently tighten 3 bubble screws and loose them 3 turns. 5. Install balancer as it should. 6. PInstall balancer as it should. 7. Put drop of oil on the tip. Install cone. Do not try level bubble with srews now. 8. Put any wheel on the cone. 7. Sit down slow rotate the wheel and center cone in the wheel hole every time before check the bubble. That is very important for results. 9. Put mark with black permanent marker to aluminum cone where is air bubble now. 10. Put mark with chalk same direction on the wheel. Remember exactly where is air bubble now. 11. Turn the wheel mark to opposite side 180° from cone mark. Marks should be opposite sides. Wheel on left cone on right. 12. Now only use 3 srews to close bubble to same location it was before.13. Repeat many times to reach perfectly same location of air bubble. 14. After you reach same bubble location turn wheel angle 90° and repeat steps. 15. Put wheights on the wheel. Reapeat steps to check bubble centered. Now it will work perfectly. I did my wheels balancing better than any tire shop. No vibration at all.
“Balanced from the factory”???? No, that is to balance it for your floor.
Not for the floor, this video does a much better job describing what the screws do....
ruclips.net/video/oAVCrdpxZnU/видео.html
that is just to adjust to your floor if it is not level. :)
Watch this...
ruclips.net/video/oAVCrdpxZnU/видео.html
good day sir, i know this video is 9 month old tho i was wondering if
your balancer was working as mine is working, after i have the tire
balanced i put the wheel back on the balancer again but now i put
the wheel in a different place, what i mean is i turn the wheel so i
have it on the balancer in a different place as the first time when i
balanced the wheel, and every time i do this i have a different
light spot, i did this like 20 time and have a different reading each
time, so where is the right light spot on my wheels, lol, my car tires
and rims fit on my trailer superficially, and my trailer got no
brakes just baring and cones , and when i install my car wheel on the
trailer and tightening up the lug nuts, give my wheel a little spin ,
leave it set for a few moments, the heavy spot of my wheel with all
that other led removed, the heavy spot when right to the bottom,
right where i wonted it to go, took my white chock marked the light
spot added led so that my wheel stooped rotating , and this is how
they balance the motor cycle tires and they are driving a lot faster
then we are in our cars and they have no shaking or vibration
nothing , couldn't balance a motor bike with this bubble balancer
first turn you come to you shake so bad would end up in the woods ,
lol i am kinda happy and glad i have some way to balancer my wheels
besides mr, bubble ferry bubble balancer , mine is the very same as
you have sir, the only way that you can find out if your balancer is
working the same as mine is , do the same test that i did , 1 would
say i have about 50% with the bubble balancer, and a 150% balanced on
my trailer , the bubble balancer is balancing the wheel of the right
light spot of the wheel, this is why it is never going to be
perfect balanced, so we need a 12 hundred droller trailer, and a 200.
droller bubble balancer to save a few 100 bucks, but i love doing it
the same even tho it's a pain in the big toe, i still save the money,
lol but the funny thing when i bought the balancer they didn't ask
me if i had bought the trailer first, and to make dubble sure my car
wheel is going to fit on the trailer so that i can find the right light
spot and that the bubble balancer is going to find like 25 light spots
on 1 wheel, how we going to know what one to take to add our led
waits, joke, i think it would have been a bit cheaper if i would
have when with the computer balancer , not the bubble balancer and the
trailer, lol
zmby could you translate that into English please?
zmby - The real asset for DIY balancer, read very cheap and highly effective! Would be the balancing shaft, made for motorbike tires, with an adapter plate made for your car tires!
With this said the shaft kit is readily available for about $12 and up... Unfortunately the adapter plates are no where to be seen!!
I'm still waiting for the opportunity to get my hand on a decent metal lathe or hire a machinist to do it for me...
not one of these videos says how ur centering the wheel on the machine.. jesus kindof important
Where the wheel sets is cone shaped. It centers itself.
@@SkylarHillShop there we go
It can not be balanced at the factory! Its based on the surface its setting on!
Check out this video ruclips.net/video/oAVCrdpxZnU/видео.html
That has to wear out the inside of the tire.
Frank Mata
do what? This is how we used to do it in shops! Also did it this way in the ARMY!
Frank Mata- Like we say in my country "what does the ass, has to do with the pants?" LOL 😂
Why would a tire wear on the inside because of a static balancer... That's a lot of imagination! ;-)
Such low quality casting and machining, these don't work properly.
Ù
Definitely the bubble was off because garage floors are sloped.
@Nicholas Rogers
ruclips.net/video/oAVCrdpxZnU/видео.html
That’s not how that works…
I had one and I gave it away. Every time I balanced my tires they were good for a couple days then they would start wobbling again. Take them off re balanced them same thing. I did that three or four times that was enough. Tires aren't cheap.
not really. there is a reason weights are put on the inside and outside of your tire. or do they just do it for fun. ERRRRRRRRRRR think about it.
no. there is a reason they put weights on the inside and outside or do they just do it for fun. ERRRRRRRRRR think about it
@fartpoobox ohyeah I'm sorry you don't understand. If your so smart why do they put weights on the inside and outside of your tires.
@fartpoobox ohyeah you must be bored ah.
@fartpoobox ohyeah that's funny I usually make sure I get that stuff right. So what's going to happen if you only put weights on one side of the wheel.
why cant they balance it from the factory ... lmao
why ..?? i will tell you why, because they would have to carve out that entire piece from one metal block and make it level to their foundation floor which is NOT going to be the same as your foundation floor .. this is WHY they have those 3 screws to fine tune the bubble to center because they know the base and rod will NOT be perfect vertical and they know your ground will not be perfect flat and level .... THATS WHY..
The level of the floor has no effect on it. The top portion will "level" itself on the rod. Once I adjusted the screws I can move it all over floor and the "level" doesn't change. The screws just change the relationship between the bubble level and the top.
aXe at 1:17 you asked why don't they balance it from the factory ... Which is why I replied and explained to you why... Now you say the level of the floor has no affect on it ..??
@@ACommenterOnRUclips In the video I was truly trying to figure it out. I have since thought about it some more. It really doesn't matter what angle the base is at. The top part rides on a pivot and is free to move however it wants. So in theory as long as your base is on a relatively flat spot it should have no effect on it as long as there is still enough movement in the pivot to compensate. It would make sense that the top portion would not be perfectly balanced. Its assembled from several different pieces and would take some serious quality control to make it perfectly balanced. So really the top part isn't truly level just because the bubble is in the circle. You a just creating a reference point to work from once you place the tire on it. A smarter person could probably work that much better.
What!?!,!?
Even expensive balancers you have to pre balance….
It’s cause not every floor is flat bro

Here's a better tutorial

because not all floors are equal.
nop, nop, nop and nop.
I'm a tire guy for 40 years, im 49 years old.
the problem with those tools, it's how do you know, if the weight is gonna be outside or inside? now come to my shop to see if the tire is balanced, I'm gonna say nop, nop and nop!!!!!!!!!!!
If I need to add 2 ounces or more, I put half the weight on each side of the tire. Obviously not as precise as an electronic dynamic balancer. However around here it costs $12-15 to have a single tire balanced. After just 4 tires it pays for itself. As long as I don't feel any vibrations driving down the highway that's balanced enough for me.
What if its a clad tire that cant have weight on the outside? Tire shop cant seem to balance it.
Have you tried balance beads?( I I think that's what they're called) it's a packet of beads you throw inside the tire before you mount it and centrifical force throws them outward and balances the tire as you drive.
I have the same cooper tires you have in your video. Vibration over 65 after the tire shop put the tires on. May not be balance. They may have damaged a rim. Do they ride smooth for you?
Easternoregon1 They rode very smooth. I recently traded the explorer on the purchase of an expedition. It has the same tires on it just larger 275/55R20. They are nice and smooth as well. Maybe the tire shop did a bad job or maybe a weight came off?
This wheel balancer is a complete, piece of garbage!
Unbelievable! No conception of dynamic balance.
Static balance. Two completely different methods!
Loathe Cliff This is Static balance not dynamic balance.
“I don’t know why they can’t just balance it at the factory “... Dude, they probably do, but your garage is out of level 😑 you obviously have no idea how this is supposed to work.
