Someone reported a balance problem at high speed. I installed a Meyle blower in Millee's van. The blower wheel did not have metal balancing clips like the OEM, and there was a good deal of molding flash along the edges of the blades. Installed, the blower was unpleasantly whiny on speeds one and two. On speed three the rush of air overpowered the whiny noise. Millee didn't care but it would have driven me nuts. Yours, David |
