Revised Wheel Balancing Procedure for Consistent Balancing Results
Concern
Customers may comment on a vibration or tire balance concern while driving, usually at higher speeds. Initial attempts at balancing the tire and wheel assemblies may not have not resolved the condition.
Note: All current Service Information, appropriate Service Bulletins and PIs still apply to this condition. Specific details related to the Silverado and Sierra HD trucks are included in this bulletin to assist with tire vibration concerns.
The 2011-2017 tire and wheel assemblies for the heavy duty (HD) trucks, especially the dual rear wheel (dually), have more mass and a larger overall diameter requiring specialized equipment and care.
GM Dealer Equipment
GM Dealer equipment MD Collet Kit 20–3116–1 is the best device for HD wheel balancing and Radial Force Variation (RFV) measurement using the Hunter GSP9700.
Dual Rear Wheels (DRW)
The following information is specific to the Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) Trucks
- Various adapters are listed below for use with the DRW trucks. The first tool listed is the preferred tool and will provide the best/most consistent results.
- Preferred adapter/process
- There is a new adapter released for use with the DRW trucks (and also works well with the single rear wheel trucks). This kit is available through GM Dealer Equipment (in Canada, at DES-Canada) and works with the Hunter 9700 balancer.
- The kit fits Aluminum DRW wheels and allows the normal functionality of the road force variation balance procedure. For steel wheels it will work better than any other adapter, but the repeatability test referenced below may still be required, and may have a tight fit.

Haweka Pro Max Adapter Installed
- The remaining available cones/adapters may not produce repeatable balancing results with some balancers. With the older tools available, it will most likely not be possible to pass a centering check when attempting to balance assemblies. If the updated tools released are not used, it may be necessary to balance the tire/wheel assembly bypassing the centering check on the Hunter 9700 (and similar) equipment or by using a truck-type balancer that is capable of handling larger assemblies similar to medium duty truck wheels (Comparable to the TopKick or Kodiak trucks).
- The information provided below is not absolute, it is only provided as guidelines to assist with balancing the tire/wheel assemblies. This specific procedure does not need to be used, but any procedure used must provide repeatable results.
-
- For DRW trucks ONLY, the new adapters are available that will allow the tire/aluminum wheel assembly to reliably pass the centering check on the Hunter 9700 balancer (item #709-280 400 113 Haweka Pro Max GM II Kit for 8×180 and 8×210 vehicles) If this adapter is not available, use the most appropriate adaptors, such as item #20-1207-1 Extra Large Truck Cone Kit that contains: Wheel Spacer #46-309-2; Extra Large Truck Cone #192-92-2. (see photos below)
- When using truck wheel balancers, it is important to use the proper settings on the machine for the appropriate assembly to get within +/- 0.5 oz (15 g) maximum balance tolerance. Typical modes are truck, RV or car. Refer to your balancers instruction manual for proper settings.
Note: The following is a procedure that can be used on the Hunter 9700 equipment. Other equipment can be used, but repeatable results must be obtained.
Perform a Balance Mode CenteringCheck
- If the wheel successfully passes the CenteringCheck, balancing procedures can be performed. If the wheel does not pass the CenteringCheck, “test spins” may be performed to check for wheel centering repeatability.
- From the balance screen, press the “Perform CenterCheck” softkey.
- Mount the wheel on the spindle and secure with the wing nut/ AutoClamp.
- If the rim runout method is selected, press “Use Balance Mode.”
- Lower the hood and spin the wheel.
- When spin is complete, raise the hood to position the wheel with the valve stem at 12:00 o’clock and then press “Enter Valve Stem” softkey.
- Loosen the wing nut / AutoClamp. Remove the wheel from the collet and rotate wheel position on the spindle to change valve stem location. Re-install the wheel on the collet and re-clamp.
- Lower the hood and the wheel will spin.
- When spin is complete, raise the hood and position the wheel with valve stem at 12:00 o’clock and then press “Enter Valve Stem” softkey.
- CenteringCheck results will appear.
- If CenteringCheck is successful, balancing procedures can be performed. If the wheel does not pass the CenteringCheck, perform test spins as described below.
- If using the new item #709-280 400 113 Haweka Pro Max GM II Kit for 8×180 and 8×210 vehicles, it is still possible to get a failed centering check. Re-mount the assembly and try again. Steel wheels may still not pass and may require the procedure detailed below in the “Perform a Balance Mode CenteringCheck.”
Performing Centering Repeatability Test Spins
- Once failing a CenteringCheck after the wheel assembly has been mounted, and the correct Balancer Setup is in place, test spins can be performed. The procedure for checking centering accuracy is as follows:
Notice: It may be necessary to disable the load roller if balance results are considerably inconsistent, in order to obtain better balance results of the wheel. However this will leave Radial Force Variation (RFV) ratings as unknown and may be the root cause of a vibration concern.
- Perform a spin. Record the needed correction weight and mark the correction weight location on the tire with a tire pencil. This will be recorded as “Spin 1.”
- Unclamp the wheel assembly and change its position by 90 degrees, either clockwise or counterclockwise. Throughout the procedure, continue the positioning using the clock motion first used (i.e. all clockwise or all counterclockwise).
- Perform a spin. Record the needed correction weight and mark the correction weight location on the tire with a tire pencil. This will be recorded as “Spin 2.”
Evaluate Results:
When the two test spins have been completed, the centering repeatability results may be evaluated.
Acceptable Results:
- If correction weight amounts and correction weight locations remain relatively consistent, the results can be considered valid.
- The following sample shows an acceptable result, but only 2 samples are needed.
- If correction weight amount varies more than 0.9 oz., or if phase varies by more than 135° then current balancer operating condition and/or setup is unacceptable and should be evaluated.
- Conditions that can cause unacceptable results include:
- Incorrect Balancer Settings
- Worn Spindle Shaft
- Worn Collets / Cones
Radial Force Variation (RFV)
- When attempting to obtain the best possible RFV measurements for a tire/wheel assembly that does not pass the CenteringCheck®, it is necessary to re-analyze RFV measurements to verify repeatable results.
- Obtain initial RFV measurement and record the result.
- Press the “Show Runout & Force Matching” softkey.
- Then press the “Runout/Matching” softkey and follow procedure listed on the screen.
- Mark the high point of tire and low point of wheel assembly as indicated by the balancer. Match Mount the assembly by removing tire and remounting it so the two markings meet, while exercising the bead to verify it is set properly.
- Remove the tire/wheel assembly and remount it on the balance tool in a different position.
- Re-analyze the corrected tire/wheel assembly to verify repeatable results.
- The locations of the high point of RFV and balance weight locations should be within +- 135.°
- The balance weight should be +- 0.9 oz.
Single Rear Wheel Trucks
- Hunter Equipment has developed a bulletin specifically to assist with balancing single rear wheel assemblies. That information is duplicated below with the permission of the Hunter Corporation.
- For balancing the tire/wheel assembly, make sure to use one of the following three methods to mount the assembly. Using one of these methods should allow the tire/wheel assembly to repeatedly pass the centering check and allow for good RFV and balancing measurements:
Method 1a: Preferred Method 1
- Securing the offset spacer, 46-653-2 or 46-433-2, to the spindle hub face. Mount the spacer, 46-360-2 and collet, 192-174-2 (4.800”-5.025” / 122 mm -128 mm), on the spindle shaft.
- Center the tire/wheel assembly bore on the collet and clamp using the 6 inch clamping cup or 9 inch alloy clamping cup.
Alloy Wheel: 6 inch Clamping Cup w/AutoClamp
Steel Wheel: 6 inch Clamping Cup w/Wing Nut
Method 1.b: Preferred Method 2
Securing the dual-sided collet from item #709-280 400 113 Haweka Pro Max GM II Kit for 8×180 and 8×210 vehicles to the spindle hub face. Mount the wheel and then the four-arm star on the spindle shaft and tighten with the auto clamp or wing nut.

Four Arm Star Mounted to the Front of a Single Wheel Aluminum Rim
Method 2: Alternate Method (Hunter TruckChuck)
-
- Secure the Hunter TruckChuck, 20-1602-1, to the center bore of the rim. Ensure the chuck is secure and uniformly attached.
Hunter TruckChuck Correctly Attached (Rear View)
Hunter TruckChuck Correctly Attached (Front View)
Hunter TruckChuck Correctly Attached (Close Up)
- Clamp using the 6 inch clamping cup or 9 inch alloy clamping cup.
After mounting the tire/wheel assembly to the balancer, proceed with the balance/RFV operations verifying repeatable results.
