Question

Matthew Holmes · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Technician A is correct because even a small imbalance in a truck wheel can cause noticeable ride discomfort and vibration. Technician B is incorrect because the centrifugal force caused by an out-of-balance tire is not neutralized by loading the tire; the imbalance can still cause vibration and other issues regardless of the tire's load.
