Abstract
A method and an apparatus for balancing a motor vehicle wheel, in which the torque during acceleration to the measurement rotation speed and during braking after carrying out the measurement run is adjusted as a function of the wheel type to be balanced, such that the rotationally fixed connection between the main shaft and the motor vehicle wheel is maintained even when the driving prestressing force between the main shaft and the motor vehicle wheel is reduced.
