Ken,

We first added a pair of Centramatics on the "H" drive axle in 2005. Then in 2006, we added them to the steer and tag. Now, when the pavement is completely smooth, like new concrete, I can not guage the coach speed by the seat of the my pants. I must look at the speedo. It's smooooooooth! We are so glad with the Balancers, and the people at Centramatic are good to work with.
We also have a pair on our 1967 Airstream Globe Trotter 20 ft. I had the opportunity to ride a short distance in the trailer while Chris drove and it was smoooooooth, as well. We also will be adding them to our 2 axle 25 ft Aristream Trade Wind International before our spring rally trip to see the Cherry Blossoms in D.C., in 2008

Don't have Centramatics on the bus, but have them on the Jeep. They are outstanding. I never could get the 35 inch off road tires to balance. With the Centramatics it is smooth and I havent had any balance issues in 2 years.

Found this website about Centramatics and Equal, for everyone to read. Most of the replys are based on trucks, non on bus's, but good information anyway.

Here is the web site for the Equal product, and it has an informative video you can watch about the Equal Product and how it works in your tires.

Where is a good place to buy these Centramatics? I did a google and come up with more forums then places to buy!

I want to try a set on my F-150 truck, it shakes at 75

Dale,

I ordered mine directly from Centramatic and they shipped them to my house. They are located close to Ft. Worth. The website is www.centramatic.com and the phone number is 800.523.8473.

So, looking at their website, I see a part which says it's for the steer axle. Although their website elsewhere indicates that on a duely, it would mount between the two wheels?

So, in a typical Prevost config, how many would you purchase. I assume the $189 price is just for a single balancer? So about $378 for just the steers? 3 times that for all wheels?

I think that was for two Ray, that is the way I read it.


I talked to Kent at http://www.mrtruck.net/centramatic.htm he said there wasn't a centramatic for my F-150. You might try him for your bus.
