12.3 Conducting a road test before balancing
wheels
If a customer brings a vehicle to the workshop complaining about
“vibration”, a road test is essential prior to balancing the wheels.
♦ This will give you information about the nature of the rough
running.
♦ You will be able to determine in which speed range the rough
running occurs.
– Raise the vehicle on a lifting platform immediately after the
road test.
– Mark the positions of the tyres on the vehicle.
Tyre position Marked with ...
Front left tyre FL
Front right tyre FR
Rear left tyre RL
Rear right tyre RR
– Remove wheels from vehicle.
– Balance the wheels.
12.4 Balancing wheels on stationary wheel
balancing machine
• Road test has been carried out ⇒ page 325 .
Clamp wheel into wheel balancing machine
Note
When balancing wheels, please remember that cleanliness is ab‐
solutely essential, as indeed it is in the case of any other repair
work you carry out. Only then can you attain a flawless result!
Dirt and rust in the area of the contact surfaces and centre of the
wheel distort the result.
– Clean the contact surfaces, the centre of the wheel and the
recess on the inside of the wheel before mounting the wheel
on the wheel balancer.
– Mount the wheel with tyre on the wheel balancer.
