Centramatics Went Bad

Hello Folk's,
I haven't been on here in awhile and just want to share my problem with you. I had centramatic wheel balancers on my truck for almost 2 years and 43k miles when I developed what I thought was an unbalanced tire. After rotating tires once and rebalancing them three times without any change, I decided to take off the centramatics. WOW, the problem went away! I was sure that I had a bad tire or something else but, it was the centramatic. It seemed like the beads in a couple of them weren't moving freely. Other than that, I can't tell anything about them. Anyhow, I haven't been able to locate my receipe but, have contacted Mr Truck where I had purchased them. They have been very friendly and are searching their records for my receipe. Hopefully they can find it. What I should have mentioned before is that prior to them going bad, they worked wonderfully!
