OEM wheel balancing weights

[Artsifrtsi]

So moving the wheels from the back to the front doesn’t require an adjustment?

Generally, no. Unless you do something to alter the balance like spin a tire on the rim, or have a patch put in... The wheels don't know or care where they are installed after proper balancing.

Says it all... Upsell

It's like Tires Plus selling my wife on a 4 wheel alignment on her Jeep before we met. The ONLY thing you can "align" on a factory Jeep is the toe, and on some the castor (a degree or 2).

Dealer tried to convince my wife she needed an alignment when she went in for a warranty battery replacement. Tells me the guy "looked at it" and thinks it might need an alignment for 160 bucks. I told her to get the battery and get out of there cause there is no way i'm paying 160 bucks for toe adjustment lol.

Front 2 wheels can’t align the rear, right?

^^ Correct, front toe only. No adjustments on the rear.

Only if you invest in replacing the 4 control arms, and the track bar on each axle. The rear you cannot adjust the toe or camber... without removing from the vehicle and using a press to bend the tubes anyway...

The front axle you can adjust the toe, center the steering wheel, and if there is an eccentric bolt, you can adjust the castor a couple degrees. Camber is like the rear to where the axle housing would need to be removed and tweaked in a press.

Unless you have all adjustable links, there is no real way to adjust the axle relationships front to rear.

@JET_83, I apologize you do not like the stick on weights the store used when they rebalanced your tires.

PM headed your way.

Found the right quality weights that come OEM on my truck, too bad once you have them balanced each tire rotation that discount tire doesn’t even have these to replace what they take off to balance.

Interesting, on my 22 JTR wheels (for sale with the OEM tires by the way), there was a mix of the flat weights and the old type weights that cling to the rim. Discount only used the flat weights on the ION wheels I replaced the OEM with.

Wasn’t OEM if there was a mix on OEM wheels. Every Jeep I’ve had have had the type of weights I posted in the link. On my 4th had a JLU and 3 JTs, Mojave, Rubicon and now Overland

OEM wheel weights?

Can you post the part number for the OEM wheel weights?

Not true.

My Mojave has stick-on weights behind the 'spokes' and clip-on weights on the inner lip.

I picked up a set of new take-off JLR wheels and tires that were balanced exactly the same way.

All of them that I have had have had the trapezoidal ones
