does the wheels have to be rebalanced after installing them?

No. The indivual pressure monitors don't weigh enough to worry about rebalancing the wheels. You should consider replacing the valve stems with new metal high pressure ones that are longer than normal. I didn't get the longer stems and had trouble tightening the set screw "lock." I have them on a 5th wheel camper only, not the tow vehicle yet.

Technically, adding one of these monitors to a balanced tire/wheel will take it somewhat out of balance. I put mine on a 5th wheel toy hauler and obviously wouldn't notice a difference. If your putting them on your vehicle, especially a tow vehicle, I suppose you might feel a difference, but I seriously doubt it.

Yes as a matter of fact, mine were shipped horizontal and I had to turn them vertical. Just take care while you're turning them so you don't break them off.

If you drilled a hole in the long side of the frame you could install the wheels to work in the direction you want them too. As it is designed, the axle of the wheels goes through a hole in the short sides of the frame so they only pull out sideways.

I just ordered them but from the you tube videos that I watched they say they are balanced before they are shipped.

Note: do not need to remove the wheels, just switch the tubing to which the left wheel is attached to the other side, and vice versa. Voila, wheels are now inside the legs.

They are fixed in place, but roll, no side to side movement...makes it more stable I'd guess.

I never had any problem with the wheel coming off. I did have the wheels on wrong at the beginning and it was easy to fix. I had the wheels on the inside where you walk instead of on the outside. I took them out and they had to be put in on the opposite sides of each other. Maybe you didn't have them snapped in place. It shouldn't have anything to do with the weight. Make sure they are snapped in. You will hear it click when they are snapped in right.

Yes they do. I bought them. They worked great and had the nuts. When you put them on make sure those first lug nuts are very tight. When I checked my wheels after the first couple weeks I noticed a couple had loosened.

Just add the wheels. Be sure to put them in the correct place. They go in the front.

If the width of your wheel and rotor fits the balancer, ok. We had to change the rod for a stronger one for heavy assembly, then its work fine!

Yes - Alignment is suggested after installation. If all four are replaced some cars require all wheel alignment.

No, but I had to loosen all of the bolts, then even it out and tighten it back up. The platforms were uneven. I had to hold them in place while tightening.

Yes. A bit of work to place them - allow yourself an hour. The front wheels must be turned each time to allow yourself access.

I would say that it is not and easy task to take the wheels off then put them back on. It took me about 2 to put them on the bike and line them up correctly. So I'm leaving them on through the winter months. There's a lot of (nuts and bolts) you have to work with when installing the wheels.

No. I had to order the bolts separately and ended up getting the wrong ones anyhow. I just re-used the original bolts with the new jockey wheels. Be careful when unpacking these not to lose the small bushing insert!!

That's right. The wheels can be placed at the bottom or on the side depending of what mode you would like to use. Or remove the wheels all thogether. Just like in the video.

No. And that's about the only thing I'd change about it. I mistakenly thought I'd add wheels to it, but there isn't a place to attach them.
