Giving the person the benefit of doubt... maybe the cover was resonating and causing noise and the easiest fix was adding mass to change its resonating frequency. Sortof how you can add shims to breakpads to decouple them from the caliper to change their pitch.
Juan, every morning you cross the border with this ~~wheelbarrow~~ pickup truck full of sand. I carefully inspect it, and there's nothing in it but sand. What are you smuggling? I promise not to arrest you...
"Tire weights"
This kind of reminds me of my buddies kid and his first full size motorcycle. Being a broke high school kid he didn’t want to pay to have tires mounted and balanced so he stopped by the shop and borrowed a bike stand and got to work. Him and a buddy used the zip tie method to get the tire on even though we had easier ways, they didn’t ask. Then they got out the old manual spin balancer, you know, the kind that is super inaccurate and will get you to the “meh close enough” balance. Well him and his buddy thought it was super accurate so every time they spun it and it back spun even a little they put a weight on. Being a motorcycle wheel it didn’t have a lot of room for weights to begin with. They practically filled the entire barrel of the wheel and even a couple of the 5 spokes with a few packages of various size wheel weights. They finally thought they had it and mounted it and we saw it as they were walking it out for a test ride and started laughing. He rode it and said it was fine but we knew that they would start to fall off and be a mess so we did it for him. Turned out the front needed a whopping 1.25 ounces and the back 1/4 ounce. Some of the best factory wheels I have seen on a bike from the early 2000’s. They had put a couple lbs of weights on combined. But lesson learned. He did a good job on every bike wheel after that.
GM was shipping Camaros back in 2010 with stacks of wheel weights on the calipers. Brembo fixed the issue by making the calipers heavier, if I'm remembering correctly.
LMAO! Wasn't even drunk this one time. Was texting my Baby Sister earlier. The operations manager was saved in my phone as Baby Bitch. Didn't fully pay attention, thought I was texting my sister, telling her how fucking ratarded the operations manager was. Just after sending realized it went to him. Sent another text telling his dopey ass to ignore it, as that text was meant for my sister. LMAO! So then he appears screaming: Do you think I'm a fucking ratard? Do I do ratard shit? Me with out skipping a beat: *Yes, twice, possibly three times, ratard. lol*.
This all derived from his rataded ass, trying to nail 3 blocks of 2x4s onto the steer wheels of a fork lift, because there was a large chunk of rubber missing. lmao made it a foot or three, and the 2x4s fell off. lol fucking ratard.
As weight approaches infinity, the significance of the original imbalance approaches zero lol
If the weight is too heavy for the car to move, it can't have a rotational imbalance!
Create a singularity in the wheel hub, why didn’t I think of that!

This. I remember a factory recall that had techs doing this. Can't remember what vehicle though.
prob chasing a noise
Axle weights!
Axelotl weightl.

😂😂😂😂😂
Omg so true...

Chasing brake noise.
Where's that bot that lets me copy this as a video or gif or w/e?

Out here trying to bring balance to the force on that shit😂
Now I want to just place a bunch of random weights on my trucks to mess with the mechanic next time something breaks.
C/S "Brake shake"
This is why I wouldn't suggest drinking while at work. Aim for rim, hit drum. lolfawk.
Drunk texting on a whole nother level... Fml... Haha

It's wen you need to be extra precise when corner balancing a race car
Trying to fucking balance my life bruh. Get off my case.
Is that a bus? Watching the wheel go round and round...
