Continuous Wheel-balancing System ??

gnutruk · September 28, 2003

Hi All :

Quite a while back I saw somewhere a device that, if I recall correctly, installs between the wheel and the brake rotor that continuously moves so as to correct the wheel balance. I'm guessing it probably fits onto the lug bolts. It seemed to be some sort of ring-shaped doohickey with moveable weights (or pellets) that somehow moved around that ring to micro-correct the tire balance.

Anyhow, it was something along those lines.

Does anyone know anything about such a device, and if so, what is the name of the product? Maybe there's one made to fit a 1500 light truck.

TIA

Check this page out....Wheel Balancers...I have thought a lot about getting these, but I can't find anyone who has ever used them so I am kinda weary about spending the money...in case they don't work.......maybe you can be the guinee pig!!!!

Yeah, Wingnut, that's the kind of thing I was looking for. That link to Land Line Mag. is especially good.

Many thanks for the info.

Wow, these are pretty cool. I wonder what hapens when you are driving over bumps/potholes, Do they get confused and do the ball bearings role all around? I also wonder at what speed they take effect? Anyway, I am interested and would like to know how much these things cost. None of the links had $$$$ avalible that I could see. Dowes anyone have any idea of the cost???
