I just had the tie rod ends and front end balanced on my SUV by a very large
Front End Specialist. I want to ask him if he can balance and shave the tyres
with the wire wheels and balance the rear hubs. Does anyone know more about
the procedure?
A friend with a 5 bay garage seems to remember that tires were shaved, but,
does not know how or why.
Our club has old reliable balancer and maybe it can be used. Ideas?

Ditto on both of my Bt7 and Bj8. Remarkable difference after Hendrix Wire Wheel
in Greensboro NC got a hold of them. I think he can shave tires also. Great to
work with also

Allen Hendrix of HendrixWireWheel (in North Carolina) did my BJ8. Rear Drums
and (I think) the drive shaft. I don't know exactly how it is done. I always
just hand the keys to Allen!
Smoothest BJ8 I've ever driven, including 2 purchased new back in the '60's.

Where did you get them balanced and how was it done?

Absolutely! Eliminated 50-70% of scuttle shake in daily driving. One of the
best things I ever did to my cars. Have balanced several sets.

I can understand balancing the front drums on my BN2 to help preclude scuttle
shake, but I am converting to front disc brakes. Is it necessary to balance
the rear drums?
