But on a Power-Wagon spin balancing may not do much good unless you take every drum and hub off of the truck and first have them balanced as (marked) matched sets. Make sure that each time drums are removed thereafter, they are put back on the same (marked) hub they were balanced with. This way, one can properly rotate the tire and wheel assemblies, in the recommended pattern around the truck as the tires wear, and greatly extend tread life with no danger of screwing up the balancing.
Tires, wheels, drums, and hubs should not be balanced as assemblies in my opinion, but I don't have any of these components balanced on my trucks, so it is a moot point.
