Centramatic Wheel Balancers

Centramatic Does Not Make their Wheel Balancers To Fit With Disc Brakes.
My wheel tire guy said the above statement. Anyone with contrary information??

[jack14r]

All 3 axles on my 08 have them.

I had Centramatics installed on my new coach. They required a minor modification to clear the caliper on my disk brakes. I assumed that they probably bent the unit slightly.

According to the installer, it was just barely nicking the caliper, and was easy to fix. I haven't yet picked up the bus (leaving tomorrow), but report from driver who took it to JoSams in Orlando for install that it road smooth.

Harry, I have them on all 3 axles, no problem and no modifications for the install.

Harry,

Not sure if it helps, but they installed the following on mine:

2 sets of 302-M
1 set of 404-U

I believe those are the same numbers that Ken Zittrer gave me, which are on his coach.

Centramatics say they do not have a unit that will work on my coach. They are expensive and I do not want to chance modifying them to work. I will be doing the weight balancing and see how they work.
Thanks for your input.

Harry, you might just want to look into balance masters. Brian used them and liked them a lot. They work by the same principle as Centramatic, but use Mercury instead as the counterbalance medium.

I think they are slightly cheaper.

When I get to that point with my bus they are what I will buy.

Harry,

I installed Balance Masters on my coach, NOT Centramatics.

Sorry!

I was wondering about that Ray. JoSam's uses Balance Masters because they think they are better. I had them on the Liberty and I was very happy with the combination of new Michelin XZE's and the Balance Masters. Had a VERY smooth ride from WA state to Truk's home in N. GA on them. I hope Tom and Nance enjoy them as much as we did. I will be putting them on our new to us Royale Coach as well when I can afford them.
