    Garrick, I try to save my luck for things that are beyond what I can prepare for. Small 1/4oz. stick on weights work well with a little duct tape applied over them. Bolt your rear wheels to a front hub and install on your front spindle then level the spindle.
    Tap your king pin bolt or frame with a hammer till the heavy side of the tire rotates to the bottom. Place a weight @ 10 and 2 o’clock, then rotate a quarter turn and tap it again to see if your lucky. Then repeat with your fronts. Tapping is a little quicker than waiting for a free wheeling tire and wheel to stop spinning. Generally the thick rubber and valve stem is the imbalance and couple weights will cure it used on the stem side of the wheel.
