Abstract
A wheel balancing system may include a wheel imbalance measuring system, a memory system, a user interface, and a processing system. The processing system may be configured to cause initial imbalance information relating to an initial imbalance in a wheel assembly that was measured by the wheel imbalance measuring system to be stored in the memory system. The processing system may also be configured to recall the initial imbalance information from the memory system after a residual imbalance measurement of the wheel assembly by the wheel imbalance measuring system. The processing system may also be configured to cause the user interface to communicate weight information to the user about an amount and placement location of at least one weight needed to correct for the imbalance based on the initial imbalance information recalled from the memory system.
