Hello

Looking for 1 M35A3 wheel counter balance weight

a friend pointed out that I am missing one on rear wheel
maybe that caused some of the rear bounce ?

Thanks Harry

I might be missing something here but I have to ask, what wheel weight are you refurring t. A wheel weight like would be hooked on the tire rim when a tire is balanced or a weight that would be welded to the brake drum when just the drum is balanced as some are when made.
Don't mean to sound dumb , forgive me if I misunderstood your question.

Are you possibly missing the CTIS cover?

You know the large triangular cover that is mounted to the outside of the wheel.

Having not seen how much plumbing (mass) is under the cover, I can't imagine that any wheel could be in balance with a cover on, much less when one is missing.

O.K. I did miss something very important, the A3. no wonder I was lost was not thinking about anything related to the CTIS. Sorry, but at least there are some guys out there that are on the ball and might be heading you in the right direction.

Harry,
If you need it, it's yours. Do you have the lock nut for it? Let me know where to send it.

What pressure are you running in the rears on your truck? I normally run 35psi without a load, this minimizes wheel hop on the road.
