Have pity on us LAT 9 owners. No center hole makes
balanceing a chore. Good luck finding someone to do it.
My guy in Chicago still has strobe lights and spins them
on the cars. Spins the front with a machine and jacks the rear
and spins the rear with the motor. Front are balanced at about
110. Rears are at 55 since I don't have positraction.
Perfect balance. All other spin balancers won't grab the LAT-9.
You can watch when he spins the front tire and watch the
fender shake. When he's done, you can put a glass of water
on the fender and its like a glass lake.
The Mopar nut and WPC member has pity on us Pentssatr
drivers and only charges $10 a wheel. Yes he used lead weight.
I hope he lives forever. Bill Meisner, Meisner Alignment in

the late model Hunter machines will also do a "matched Balance" you balance
the Wheel along first, then mount the tire and check balance, if weight is
excessive it will tell you how to ro tate the tire on the wheel to obtain the
best match between tire and wheel, this can be time consuming, thus
expensive, but I have found it worth the time, but I have my own machine,
we do a lot of this for sensitive BMW front ends...I have also seen where
cars
that aren't driven daily the tires get a temporary flat spot from sitting in
one place, if this happens inflate to 60 psi or so and leave in the hot sun,
then drive....when the flat spot levels out deflate to proper
pressure...tires
with any nylon cords can be very prone to this....all cars using after market
wheels will be prone to careful mounting because they are not hub
centric...I'm going to make sleaves for my Mini Lites, for now I have
installed them with the cone shaped regular lug nuts and then rpl'g one at
atime with the shouldered correct nuts, this helps, but isn't perfect...it's
frustating because the wheels and tires are perfectly straight and have
balanced nicely, but when rotated slowly on the car you can see a small
amount of run out, thus some vibration at certain speeds...Clyde
