This broke off the wheel, what is it?

Had to beat the rims off changing my tires over. Wondering if the light shaking I'm getting could be related to this little thing going MIA. Going to get a rebalance soon, but still curious what the little part might do?

cheers,

Weight to balance the drum.

 

FYI: There should be threaded holes in the drum, to press the drums off.

 

Yes, that is exactly why you're shaking. Or at least, it is definitely one reason.

 

It could cause a little vibration. But not very likely you would feel it coming from the rear.

If you know anyone with a welder, just have them weld it back on.

 

Those weight commonly fall off, I actually JB welded one of mine on and the other one I didn't even bother with. I don't think it will make much/any vibration if its missing.

 

Mine all fell off my drums. No difference on the road.

 

I stand corrected....
