I am just reading an haynes manual,gonna change my disc pads.It says on a p100,mark the position of the wheel in relation to one of the wheel studs before removing the wheel.Now what's that all about.Changed all my tyres last week,wheel off,wheel on so i thought.

Some cars used to have the wheel dynamically balanced on the car with the whole rotating assembly.

I'm told that the later Range Rovers have to have the wheel installed so that the valve lines up with a painted stud otherwise it causes imbalance problems as do some BMWs

I think this is when wheels are balanced on the hub.
