Trailer wheel balancing question.

By the way , car and truck tires are mounted to fixed spindles also and any vibrations wear on suspension components be it spring bushings, ball joints, shocks or anything else on vehicle or trailer. May be wise to educate yourself before trying to correct others. Vibrations are not your friends.

Nice try, but you have zero facts to back up and show that not balancing TT causes excessive wear on suspension components. While it might sound good the facts are just not there and if I have to explain why an out of balance tire on a steer axle of a manned vehicle is not good then I'm not sure we discuss much of anything relative to this topic.

I won't even go into the FACT that all the balancing in the world of a tire/wheel combo on a trailer is futile since all AFAIK trailers unlike all manned vehicles are NOT HUB CENTERED and you will be left to the hit miss of the randon centering of a TT tire by the lugs on a TT (i.e. the often referred to "lug centric" system).

BTW IMO I have plenty of knowledge/background/experience here also PLUS the all important 1/2 century of hands on experience in the school of hard knocks.

As I said if it makes you feel better by all means spend your hard earned $$$ and time balancing your trailer tires. As enthusiasts we have wasted more time and energy plenty of whimsies.:p
