How much weight can typically be transferred when corner balancing a car? Can you transfer 10 lbs from front to rear? 25 lbs? 50 lbs?

QUOTE You need to move parts(weight) around the car to adjust front back and right to left. You must be kidding. Raising the back will transfer weight forward (same as lowering the front). This concept works side to side as well. Clearly, you have never worked with scales on an actual car. The diagonals are the most important. Set the ride height first (as a baseline), and follow up with the corner weights. Once you are done jacking around (literally) with it, it is time for a complete 4-wheel alignment as all the jacking around with the ride heights will change the alignment of the car. Luckily, I have all the tools needed right out in my garage. |
