Off-Vehicle Balancing

When balancing tires and wheels off the vehicle, use a balancer that pilots the wheel by the center hole (not the lug holes) if possible. Always follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions. Some electronic off-vehicle balancers are more accurate than the on-vehicle spin balancers, but do not correct for rotor unbalance. If the vibration is not corrected by the off-vehicle balance, an on-vehicle balance may also be needed.
