New to me.

On a standard rotating balancer, this new machine looks the same except for a roller.

This roller applies about a 1000 lbs? which mimics the tire on the vehicle on the road.

I believe the tire is actually rotated on the rim? to start with a better balance before application of wheel weights.

I did have vibration in car at two certain speeds, 55 and 70 mph.

Now, the balance could have been messed up originallly on a normal machine, but this balancing works and it's just a bit more expensive.
