Wheel balances was created by P2ishere
Good afternoon.

My Jimny seems to need very regular wheel alignments and balances to stop a steering wheel wobble at 75 kilometres an hour.

Is this normal?

Regards

Paul

I got so sick of the weights on my wheels falling off and moving due to off road use that I just dont bother with them these days. I now use internal balancing beads......job done. :)

Thanks for the link K.

I've never used those.............do you get them in there via the valve???

Do it right - use Hammerite

Yes, the ones I use you do but you can also put them in when fitting the tyres.

There is a table guide for each size of tyre.
