[Healeys] Drum Balancing

[Robert Begani]

I just had the tie rod ends and front end balanced on my SUV by a very large Front End Specialist.  I want to ask him if he can balance and shave the tyres with the wire wheels and balance the rear hubs.  Does anyone know more about the procedure?

 

A friend with a 5 bay garage seems to remember that tires were shaved, but, does not know how or why.

 

Our club has old reliable balancer and maybe it can be used.  Ideas?

Ditto on both of my Bt7 and Bj8. Remarkable difference after Hendrix Wire Wheel in Greensboro NC got a hold of them. I think he can shave tires also. Great to work with also

Allen Hendrix of HendrixWireWheel (in North Carolina) did my BJ8.  Rear Drums and (I think) the drive shaft.  I don't know exactly how it is done.  I always just hand the keys to Allen!

Smoothest BJ8 I've ever driven, including 2 purchased new back in the '60's.

Where did you get them balanced and how was it done?

Absolutely!   Eliminated 50-70% of scuttle shake in daily driving.  One of the best things I ever did to my cars.  Have balanced several sets.

I can understand balancing the front drums on my BN2 to help preclude scuttle shake, but I am converting to front disc brakes.  Is it necessary to balance the rear drums?
