I just lost 1 pcs of adhesive weight on the wheel
 
Hi Guys,

I just lost 1 pcs of adhesive weight on a wheel.

and this 1 pcs should weigh about 11/5 lb (which is about 1kg).

Will this affect my wheel balance?

Should I do wheel balancing??

Yes, its possible it will affect the balance. I had this happen in my older car and i had a lot of vibrations at highway speeds. Once i get it balanced again it had no issues.

2 pounds of weight is an absurd amount. Something is wrong.

Actually I was wrong.

It was only a 0.5 OZ for 1 pcs?

It looked exactly like this:

Do you think it will affect the balance?

Oh ok. That's much more reasonable. Yes it will effect balance. You may not feel it if its a rear wheel. Front you likely will.

wow... even if it's only about 0.03 lbs??

I should get one then..

Yeah half an ounce doesn't seem like much but you'll feel it.

A couple weeks back I noticed an imbalance in my front wheels. (Stock wheels). I could feel the vibration around 62 MPH. Much over or under and I didn't really notice it. I checked all 4 and only the right front was off, and only by .5 oz.

Wheels get balanced for a reason. Take it to a wheel shop and have them re-balance it. If you clean your wheels with a brush or pressure washer, maybe try to avoid the wheel weights when doing so.

Re-balance wheels, ask for sticky weights.

It brought a really funny picture to my mind!

i don't balance my rear wheels on my frs and don't feel it at all, one little sticky like that on the rear wont be at all noticeable.

you could go to harborfrieght and pick up these wheel weights and slap on the one that is missing. https://www.harborfreight.com/1-2-ha...hts-67226.html
