There are no stupid Q's. I always assumed that was a spot welded balance weight as I cant think of any legitimate purpose for it to be there, doesn't look it could be a locating tab for machining of some sort like you see on blocks etc plus the other drum has nothing on it and cast parts are nowhere near concentric or any part really. Not sure if it could be balanced like on a brake lathe with a strobe light or.... The tire guys may chime in but I'd think spin balancing the whole tire/wheel assy on the car with one of those gismos that you put under the tire & it spins the wheel would balance the whole shebang. Myself I'd rather have the drum and the tire/rim assy all neutral seperately then together to check so I could switch tires/rims around if I so desired & have it dead on

If I had a dollar for every drum the weights came off of in 40 years of wrenching Id be as rich as Trump.Cant remember how many dropped off trying to get stuck drums off the hubs.Never any problems.There are more important things to worry about than that.Rocky
