WHEEL BALANCE ACCURACY
M1311001700258
PURPOSE
This section contains tips and procedures for achiev-
ing accurate wheel balance. Steering wheel vibration
and/or body shake can result if any of these proce-
dures are not carefully observed.
1. Wheels and tires must be properly mounted on a
balancer in order to achieve correct balance.
Centering the wheel on the shaft of the balancer is
essential for proper mounting.
2. Off-the-car wheel balancers must be calibrated
periodically to ensure good balancing results. An
inaccurately calibrated balancer could cause
unnecessary replacement of tires, shocks,
suspension components, or steering components.
Check your balancer's calibration approximately
every 100 balances. Your wheel balancer's instruc-
tion manual should include calibration procedures. If
the calibration procedures specifically for your bal-
ancer are missing, use the generic steps in this sec-
tion for zero calibration, static balance, and dynamic
balance checks. The wheel balancer calibration
checks are also described in the flowchart. (Refer to

PROCEDURE <Balancing Tips>
1. Confirm that the balancer's cone and the wheel
mounting cone are undamaged and free of dirt
and rust.
2. On this vehicle, the wheel's center hole on the
hub side has a chamfered edge. Use a
back-mounting cone on your wheel balancer to
center the wheel on the balancer shaft.
3. Install a wheel mounting cone. The appropriate
size cone for this vehicle is 67.0 mm (2.64
inches).
4. Before balancing the wheel, remove any wheel
weights from both sides. Also check both sides for
any damage.
5. When installing wheel weights, hammer them at a
straight (not diagonal) angle.
<Confirming Proper Balance>
1. After balancing the wheel, loosen the wing nut
and turn the wheel 180 degrees against the
balancer's hub. Then re-tighten the wing nut and
check the balance again. Repeat wheel balance if
necessary.
2. Turn the wheel again 180 degrees against the
balancer's hub. If the wheel becomes
out-of-balance each time it is turned against the
balancer's hub, the wheel balancer may require
calibration.

<Wheel Balancer Calibration Checks>
1. Mount an undamaged original-equipment alloy
rim and tire assembly (wheel) onto your
off-the-car wheel balancer. Balance the wheel.
2. <<Zero Calibration Check>>
Loosen the balancer wing nut, rotate the wheel a
half-turn (180 degrees), and retighten the nut.
Recheck the balance.
• If the imbalance is 5 g (0.18 ounce) or less, the
zero calibration is OK. Rebalance the wheel, then
go to Step 4 to check static balance.
• If the imbalance is more than 5 g (0.18 ounce), go
to Step 3.
3. Loosen the balancer wing nut, rotate the wheel
1/4 turn (90 degrees), and retighten the nut.
Recheck the wheel balance.
• If the imbalance is 5 g (0.18 ounce) or less, the
wheel may not be centered on the balancer, or
the balancing cones, the cup, and/or wing nut are
damaged, dirty, or inappropriate for the wheel.
You may need to refer to the balancer manufac-
turer's instructions to verify the correct attach-
ments. After making the necessary corrections,
recheck the wheel balance. If OK, then go to Step
4.
• If the imbalance is more than 5 g (0.18 ounce),
the balancer requires calibration. Contact the bal-
ancer manufacturer for calibration by their repair
representative.
4. <<Static Balance Check>>
Attach a 5-g (0.18-ounce) weight to the outer rim.
Recheck the balancer. The balancer should
detect 5
± 2 g (0.18 ± 0.06 ounce) of imbalance
170 to 190 degrees away from the 5-g
(0.18-ounce) weight.
• If the imbalance is within specification, the static
balance calibration is correct. Go to Step 5 to
check the dynamic balance.
• If the imbalance is out of specification, the bal-
ancer requires calibration. Contact the balancer
manufacturer for calibration by their repair repre-
sentative.
5. <<Dynamic Balance Check>>
Attach a 5-g (0.18-ounce) weight to the inner rim
at 180 degrees opposite the 5-g (0.18-ounce)
weight that was added in Step 4. Recheck the
balance. The balancer should detect 5
± 2 g (0.18
± 0.06 ounce) of imbalance 170 to 190 degrees
away from both the inner and outer 5-g
(0.18-ounce) weights.
• If the imbalance is within specification, the
dynamic balance calibration is correct. The bal-
ancer calibration checks are complete.
• If the imbalance is out of specification, the bal-
ancer requires calibration. Contact the balancer
manufacturer for calibration by their repair repre-
sentative.
