[VAC] Protruding Outriggers



The excessive skin wear around the wheel wells is
caused by the running gear being out of balance, not
just the tire/wheel, but also the drum. The typical
drum is 4-8 oz. out of balance so what good does it
doe to balance the tire? You need to balance the 3
components as an assembly. Costs a little more but
you'll find you're not popping rivets of the inside,
your entry door will fit better and you won't be
wearing the metal outriggers thru your skin.
