Default Got my Dynabeads today

Installed them & will test them in the morning. Looks like I lost my weights up front anyways. Will post in the morning when I get to work on how they did. Got some for my Durango also, but only got one of them done. Think I will do one at a time to see which tire was out of balance on it. They show using an engraver but since I don't have one I used my 1/4" air ratchet for the vibration. I might get a engraver for the others.

Not as impressed as I thought I would be, but maybe I need more in the front tire. I also looked at my front tire & it is starting to cup, so that could be why. I only took it up to 80 mph so I will try to get it up to 90 on the way home to see if it smooths out or stays the same or gets worse.

Just bought a new rim and tire and had them use the beads. The guy I bought asked if I wanted weights or beads. As I was unfamiliar with them, he said it's a "no brainer" go with he beads. seems pretty good to me so far. Plus no ugly weights attatched

No need for an engraver to insert the beads. Use the bottle and tube provided with the kit. Alternately squeeze the bottle then release it rapidly to get the beads to bounce around in the tube. They will go in pretty quickly.

easiest way to install is use 2 bottles and a engraver, I drilled a bid hole in the bottom of 1 bottle so it breathes , attach it to the tube and to the tire , put 2oz of beads in the other bottle , start the engraver vibrating the valve stem and slowly pour beads into attached bottle with the hole in it and they will flow right in , engravers are under $10 at Harbor Freight

You may want to take a good look at your suspension too. Worn shocks/struts is a very common cause of cupping.
