Balancing Tips

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  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.
