Default Truggy Wheel Balancing

after reading about this balancing thing I've done mine as I did notice @ Deerdale the thing was trying to shake its self to bits

Look at those mole grips shake in the 1st video

Used mole grips to hold rear hub without pinching the bearings. Could have removed the drive shaft but chose not as it did not appear to affect the wheel balancing as it was spinning nice and free against MG or finger nail. Might take it out next time. Once it stopped spinning, hold the tyre and the mole grip to prevent it rotating. Apply blu-tack to the opposite side of the heavy point. Press into wheel webbing away from the hub. How much blu-tack you use will depend on how far out of balance the tyre/rim is.

plan to run car later to day with & without the blu-tack to see if you can see/feel a difference

vids haven't been edited as yet but hope to soon.




1. must remember to breath in next time
2. shut the doors to keep the flies & bird vocals out
