Steve, did you notice a significant change in your ride when you added the Centramtics? If there was, what did it help to improve?

Centramatics will improve the ride by eliminating annoying out of balance issues, especially in the front end. However, their biggest impact is the longevity of the tires. From the day they're installed, they balance the tires and wheel assemblies for the life of the tires, even as they wear down.

I have them on the front and like them. I plan to add them to my drive and tag, if I can ever figure out the correct ones to buy. I have been told different model numbers from different people, including Centramatic.

Florida Shores Truck Center usually has the best price and shipping.

Here are the three Centramatic numbers for the front, duals and tag on my 2019 DS on a Freightliner chassis.

Front - 700720

Duals - 600640

Tag - 800820

I did notice a definite improvement in the ride. It was not like "night and day" as it was not that bad before installing them ... but the steering wheel is totally vibration free now. So I think a good addition going forward. And now after two (2) years of having them I can say that this is the smoothest riding coach we have every had. Had them installed on all axles at the Centramatics factory in Texas which is just south of Dallas/Fort Worth. We stayed overnight in their parking lot.

Thanks, however just adds to the confusion. I installed the 800830 on the front of mine.

FlSteve I tried 700-720 on the front already but it hit the front caliber. I would think the part # you gave me would work on the 23's.

Hodagsugar ... I think you might be looking at Dutch Star Don's numbers and he has a Dutch Star ... not a Mountain Aire.

Here are my numbers again off of my invoice.

800830 - 22.5 FLOWTATION FRONT BALANCER SET
800820 - SPECIAL APPLICATION 820B SET
600640 - 22.5 REAR BALANCER SET

FLSteve I had a set from my 2021 Dutch Star was told from centermetic that 700-720 will fit. Tried them but they hid the front calipers.

Centramatic Balancers

We put them on our 99 Dutch Star 13 years ago. Never had to pay to balance tires again.

They made the difference in constantly balancing the tires every time you start a trip. Smooth ride, except for crummy roads.

I also put them on my 96 F350 dually.
