Seriously though, for truly accurate corner balancing, you have to make sure that the surface your car is sitting on is level on all four corners. Also sliding plates for all four corners of the suspension so it can settle correctly after being in the air. Also makes a difference. That being said, a cheap method like this has some value, but the problem is, the variations in wood thickness, scale accuracy, etc. etc. it’s going to be hard to get a truly accurate corner balance like this.
To make it a little bit easier, make a fourth spacer block for when you're switching the scales from one wheel to another... That' if you use a floor jack while doing this and not a hoist
Absolutely. I was thinking you could get away with 3 if you didn't mind jacking up half the car (both driver or passenger wheels off the ground) but a fourth spacer block would probably make that safer when switching front to rear. Thanks for subscribing! New videos are on the way!
This project has been a bit on the back burner. I'm getting a bit nostalgic for the inline six. I have some other projects going and might work to fire up the channel.
I think that stacked scales would all show the same weight(plus whatever scales were on top of them). Similar to a series/parallel problem with electricity or plumbing.
Stacked scales could work by, Creat the stack,zero each scale. Set the car on the top scale and then multiply the weight seen on the top scale by the number of scales. This will give the weight at that corner of the car.
This would work great. Some contemplating splinters in the wood or absolute laser level forget this isn't for Formula 1 cars. Great demonstration!
I have to agree. This seems like the perfect method for corner balancing a 1978 Datsun wagon.

Wow, watching this again the camera work is amazing
You're a god damned genius!
S0 - are you going to adjust the corner weights in the front ?

Have you considered stacking the scales and multiplying up.

@@CASHSEC shut up 🤦🏻♂️
Yeet
I don't think this video had enough yeet
There's no way that car weighs less than 3000 pounds
Is it gutted?
