Diagnose Your Car's Problem

There are two methods of balancing -- static, with the wheels off the vehicle, and dynamic, with the wheels on. The dynamic method is best since it takes into account the brake disk (drum) and its influence on a wheel's balance. While the mechanic is balancing the wheels, he'll be able to determine if a wheel's tire or rim is "out of round". The wheel balancing procedure will usually correct a mild out of round condition. However, if a certain tire/rim is extremely out of round, it will need to be replaced
