    While this thread is nearly nine years old, I thought I'd bump it up and ask if anyone has recent experience with the Centramatic balancers one the newer coaches and if there's a noticeable difference in the ride?

    How would the balancers know what year chassis they were mounted to?

    Just kidding.

    I would use them regardless of what year I'd be owning. After having a set myself I would never be without them again.

    I bet many others who use them feel the same way.

    It doesn't improve the ride on a bus with proper tires but it does eliminate the ocasional tire imbalance on new tires, ocasional thrown wheel weight, reballancing at half life and all those related costs.

    Get them.

    Tire balancing is only as good as the installer and the machine.

    This is one of the best demonstrations I've seen on the operation of the Centramatic balancers. https://floridashorestruckcenter.com...FdcegQodF_4G8w
