Abstract From the Canadian patent

In a method of correcting the imbalance in a wheel attached to a vehicle body via a suspension mechanism wherein the wheel is placed on a rotating drum the wheel imbalance, is detected from the longitudinal amplitude of vibration of an unsprung member other than the wheel and connected thereto. A weight is selected that corresponds to the detected amplitude according to a predetermined relationship between the longitudinal amplitude and the weight. The selected weight is attached to an unbalanced point on the rim of the wheel.
