    Wheels should remain balanced ... unless you've lost weights from them.

    It might be just what I have picked up, but I always balance the tyres when I rotate them rear to front on any car I work on. It just eliminates one more variable when it comes to driveline shudder.

    I had alot of trouble actually getting the wheels off the car after removing the bolts, hence only one side was done. Tomorrow for the LHS.

    Went and gave my Pogo a good wash and cleaned the interior. I'm heading down to Hidden Vally for Off Street Drags tomorrow night to give it a run. Should be fun.

    I have to agree with the Blitzen and thats just diligence on your part mate to balance on a rotate, good work, balance can go out through time and you might introduce a gremlin from the rear to the front. Back in the day mate they used to balance them on the vehicle which was the go and this eliminated anything going on in the drive line and hubs. HAve fun at Hidden Valley mate , i used to live in Jingli mate!!!!! love it up there
    Cheers
