Proper Wheel Balance (HON0454AP)
Reference number: HON0454AP
PROPER WHEEL BALANCE
TECHNICAL INFORMATION TIP
WHEEL BALANCE
YEAR(S): All Through 1995
MANUFACTURER: Honda
MODEL(S): All
DATE OF ISSUE: March, 1995
ISSUE & TIP
Honda wheels and tires must be balanced on the car for proper balance. The wheels and tires spin with the rotor/axle combination, so all must be balanced together. I have found that it is very difficult to achieve a satisfactory balance when the wheel and tire combination are balanced off the car.
After an on-the-car balance, be sure to mark one mounting stud and one wheel hole so that each balanced combination can be kept in the proper position if the wheels and tires need to be removed.
