5006852-2 – Balance Weigths – Weight 1.5

5006852-2 -- 1.5 oz (42 g) Heavy Balance Weight
Primary correction range for medium-duty and commercial driveshaft balancing.

The 1.5 oz range is where balancing transitions from "correcting component inconsistencies" to "compensating for tube geometry variation." When a new tube section is welded into a driveshaft assembly, tube wall thickness variation and weld bead mass can easily introduce 1-2 oz of imbalance. The 5006852-2 addresses a single-weight correction in that scenario without requiring multiple lighter weights.

Placement on large-diameter tubes: use a protractor or angle-finding balancing fixture to mark the angular position precisely. On a 4-inch diameter tube, a 10-degree angular error on a 1.5 oz weight creates approximately 0.26 oz of residual at 90 degrees to the intended correction plane -- still detectable at highway speed.
