Yes, balancing can make it worse or better. If the heavy spot of the tire and the drum were opposite each other, balancing will make it worse. If you never checked your drums for balance, you have no idea and shouldn't jump to conclusions.
Spec on.
Thats just one reason why spin balancing the assy while on the trailer works best unless the tire is egg shaped.
I'm surprised more folks didn't know this as its very common in vehicle racing where the rubber meets the road .......and even pulling trailers at lower highway speeds.
We also know a spring on a trailer is just 24"-27" long which acts as a huge damper for any out of balance situation .....unlike the soft coil spring on the truck or a 6' to 6 1/2' long rear springs on a truck. These tires need to be balanced.
Tire/wheel/suspension issue with a truck vs a trailer are apples vs oranges.
