Before I installed the balance beads, my front fenders would vibrate some at road speed. After I put the beads in there is no bounce or vibration. In my case the beads made a significant difference.
Thanks for the follow up. I had the same results after I installed the balance beads. Now if I could just get the rest of the car to stop vibrating.

Using the clippers was a good idea. I used my tool engraver the vibrate the stem.
