Hi all

I have a 1929 Tudor and I am planning to replace a wheel that have a small crack in the Hub.

My question is do I have to balance it ?

It is one of the rear wheels.

I bought the car 2 months ago and I do not know if the previous owner have done any balancing at all. He told me the crack was there when he bought the car 5 years ago to the owner who did a full restoration. He did nothing to the wheels in those 5 years.

The car drives fine in the town streets at 30-35 miles per hour. I can't drive it in highways or didn't have the opportunity to drive it in a long flat route. Here in MA there are tons of slops and curves when you are driving through the towns streets.

Thank you
Forddan
