MG MGA - Balance

3 days ago I had new tires fitted to my daily driver (no, not my MG yet. Today I felt a front end vibration. I was cursing the installer's balancing skills and planning to return. When I got home, this is what I found!!

So, the front end did feel a little squirrelly.

That's nuts!

I was unaware that Volvos used that form of propulsion. How much Squirrelpower do you get at the wheels?

I bet that was a rollercoaster ride like no other!
Too bad for the chipmunk.

I calculated that at 65 mph, the poor critter was exposed to 160 G, so I don't suppose he was feeling much like pedalling.

All you need is another one 180 away from that one and you'll be good!
Bill Spohn

So, as I understand it, all you need to do is tie a few bits of cheese or acorns to the spokes and the wheels will auto balance!
