Wheel Balancing, Front
CAUTION:
Using a portable wheel balancing unit when the vehicle is lifted completely off the ground will result in damage to the tripod joints or boots, as the joint is bent at a large angle and therefore overheats.
To use a portable balancing unit, position a trolley jack under the suspension arm opposite the wheel which is being balanced. This prevents the joint from being bent too much when the vehicle is raised.
Where possible, wheels should be removed for balancing, and balanced using a stationary wheel balancing unit.
