You can still run into weight chasing even with SmartWeight, I've seen it happen on many occasions. Unfortunately, the technicians using these machines aren't trained properly and they will just hammer on whatever weight that keeps coming up on the screen instead of tracking down the problem. I'm not sure if Hunter actually trains the technicians at the shops that purchase these machines, but they need to emphasize that "OK" doesn't always mean balanced.
I'm not trained by Hunter on this machine, (maybe in the future ) ,but I'm not stupid /lazy enough to do weight chasing, I won't do it to my car, so I won't do it to our customers. Just common sense, but others are lazy, even though they do know it's not right and when they get really busy, they can get careless too.
If this is done properly and with care, there’s no reason for the wheel to get scratched, correct?
Yes, correct.
Several mechanics and dealer service centers have told me that Road Force "isn't necessary", or, that they "used to have" a Road Force kit, but because techs "had trouble using it", they went back to a regular non-Road Force machine. A Hunter in most cases, just a more basic model
Well I gotta say most work in tire shops for good reason.
Just wondering,,at 3:53 ,how can weights stuck or fallen under the balancer can cause weight chasing...please clarify. Thanks
Bruce Truong i also wonder that as well
Yes I am also wondering?
To me seams like another reason not to blame the machine itself.
Where are the load cells in the machine? If they put it in the video it probably matters.
It's basic housekeeping.
End of story.
How much weight is too much to balance a wheel?
Or u can deflate the wheel turn it on the rim, inflate it, then balance it
does that work on a low profile too?
Yes
Why can't corghi do this for there older machines
Wheel balance

This is the video from the machine, not very helpful.
Hi, we're sorry this video didn't cover everything you needed to know, but we wanted to let you know that your local Hunter Rep is a phone call away if you would like additional help. They can teach tips and techniques to combat weight chasing and many other issues, along with making sure your balancer is performing as it should be. Thanks for letting us know.
Too slow ! No good in a busy shop
Exactly what I was thinking we dont have all this time to check all this stuff
It sounds like I have to buy my own equipment, if I want my steering wheel free of vibration.
@@Ayeitsscott proper equipment is not uncommon, competent technicians are.
Rob, where's your shop?
@@Tony-ib2vm it's crazy how many shops have techs who just don't care. My rule of thumb to start is: 40 years old or older, clean shaven, well groomed. I've found, unfortunately, millennials just don't have the "care" required.
