BRAKE DRUM BALANCE 

Manufacturers use weights in order to balance brake drums during manufacturing. Do not remove the weights. Inspect the brake drums for damage if
one of the following conditions exists:

^

Drums are refinished

^

Maintaining proper wheel balance is difficult 

Most off-the-vehicle balancers may test the brake drums for balance.
