On-the-car Wheel Balancing
GI-37prose procedureSpecial precautions apply to full-time 4WD vehicles during on-the-car wheel balancing (all four wheels off ground, rotate with engine and balancer engaged, parking brake released, no brake drag).
CAUTION
a. When doing on-the-car wheel balancing with a full-time 4WD vehicle, to prevent the wheels from rotating at different speeds or in different directions from each other (which could lead to damage to transaxle gear), always be sure to observe the following precautions:
1) All four wheels should be jacked up, clearing the ground completely.
2) The wheels should be rotated with both the engine and the wheel balancer engaged.
3) The parking brake lever should be fully released.
4) None of the brakes should be allowed to drag.
b. Avoid sudden acceleration, deceleration and braking.
