This is a YouTube video titled "July 23, 2025" containing a detailed explanation by a single speaker about the importance and function of a road force balancer in diagnosing tire and wheel vibration issues. The speaker demonstrates how the machine works and why it is necessary for proper tire balancing to avoid vehicle vibrations.
Let me show you why the road force balancer is definitely needed. All right, so a lot of people say, I don't need the road force balancer. Well, yeah, you do. Let me tell you a couple things. So the shops that don't have a road force machine or don't know how to properly use it are still having comebacks with vibration issues. Let me show you why. All right, so when you use the road force, this roller comes down and puts 1200 pounds of force on that tire. So what it's doing is simulating it being driven on the vehicle on the road. So it's going to diagnose any problems that's going to cause any vibrations in that tire and wheel assembly. So a lot of times, you know, you. You spend it on the bouncer up and it's gonna call for, say, an ounce of weight, whatever it calls for. And they just throw that out to weight on there. And they don't have a road source machine. Just because it says balance don't mean it's balanced. It can still vibrate. Let me show you why. All right, so we got the tire spinning. Roller's about to come down here in a second. Now, we're not gonna cut it, we're not gonna edit none of that. And I'm gonna show you why road force balancing is needed. It's going to detect any vibrations before they become a problem on the car. Now, it came off. Now look at this. Calls for 26 pounds of force when it should, and you definitely want it below 18. So if we're going to force match it, which is spinning the tire, it's going to come down to 10. So I'm gonna push, leave it, because I want to show you something. So look, it called for.08. So anybody else without the road force balancer would have threw that on your car and you would be coming back with vibration issues. Now we're going to go. We're going to go and force match it, and what it's going to tell us is exactly where to spin that tire out. So that's why the road force bouncer is important.
