yes exactly...and also those people who tell you it can't be done.
those are the people/businesses that I want to avoid.

lol yer i work thereso free alignments for me.
but case in point is if you insist you want certain settings then you either get them or the aligner tells you he got as close as he could to your spec but ran out of adjustment travel.
I had a s13 where i wanted -1 camber on the rears. Wheelsworld adjusted the stock bolt adjustment but was only able to get as low as -1.3 on one side so he evened it out and told me. I was still content at the work.
I go to the tyre shop. They do it all.
Does anyone know of any shop in WA that does on car wheel balancing?
i.e. the wheels are not taken off the car but a machine is used to balanced the wheels while they are on the car.
never heard of that before lol , just get you wheels balanced like any normal car. At my work we have a tire shop (barbagallo tire service) do my wheel alignments, i use to have to take my front bumper off to get it on the hoist but now they've installed longer ramps as ferraris/lambos also had probs getting onto the hoist
yeah apparently bob jane do provide on car wheel balancing service...might give them a call...
yeah i used to do on car balncing at city motors when i worked there. i wouldnt recommend it as there are too many other things like in your suspension that can throw it out of wack.
not only that there arent many people that ever get it right. it is pretty tricky
I actually thought that on car balance would improve the balancing?
in theory it should but in reality it doesn't
for instance say your wheel bearings are slightly out,you will never be able to balance your wheels to suit the play in your bearings. you will only magnitude the problem not to mention you will never get the balance of the tyre right
for oncar balance your suspension and steering have to be spot on otherwise it will never be right.
the other problem is the way in which you balance oncar. the machine is just a roller that you press against the wheel. if your not consistant with the speed and force that you press against the wheel you get a different result. theres just too much room for human error
these are the main reasons why noone bothers with oncar anymore.
