Discovered this afternoon that I have a serious corrosion problem with
my aluminum rims on the trailer.


Here's a question that will raise some controversy ....

If your trailer has leaf springs .... why did you balance the trailer
tires?

Think about it.

The same reason you balance the tires on your car.... the two subjects
are virtually unrelated. Out of balance is out of balance....



Many old timers never balanced the rear wheels on cars with leaf springs.
In fact, it wasn't until coils and independent rear suspensions became more
commonplace that balancing the rears became standard practice.

An out of balance rear wheel on a conventional leaf spring suspension isn't
even noticeable unless the unbalance is gross.
