Corvette V8-5.7L VIN G (1997)
General Description and Balance Precautions
DESCRIPTION
There are two methods by which tire and wheel assemblies are balanced:
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.
GENERAL BALANCE PRECAUTIONS
1. Clean deposits of foreign material from the inside of the wheel.
2. Remove stones from the tread to avoid operator injury during spin balancing.
