1. Static
-
Static balance is the equal distribution of weight around the wheel.
-
Statically unbalanced assemblies cause a bouncing action called tramp.
2. Dynamic
-
Dynamic balance is the equal distribution of weight on each side of the centerline. When the tire spins there is no tendency for the assembly to
move from side to side. Dynamically unbalanced assemblies may cause shimmy.
