The Coats 5715 Spacer, also identified by part number 905715, is an essential precision component for professional automotive and industrial service centers. Manufactured by Coats, formerly Ammco-Coats/Hennesy, this tool is engineered to provide critical clearance and stability, ensuring highly accurate wheel balancing, particularly for light truck applications. It plays a vital role in achieving consistent and reliable balancing results in a professional shop environment.
Key Features
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured by Coats, a trusted name in automotive equipment, ensuring a precise fit and consistent, professional-grade performance.
- Optimized Dimensions: With a length of 3 inches (approximately 76mm), this spacer is designed to provide the necessary separation for accurate back coning procedures.
- Durable Construction: Built to withstand the rigorous demands of daily use in busy garages, offering long-term reliability and extended service life.
- Enhances Balancing Accuracy: Facilitates proper back coning of light truck wheels, which is critical for minimizing runout and achieving a more accurate and consistent wheel balance.
Applications
The Coats 5715 Spacer is primarily utilized with compatible Coats wheel balancers, such as the Coats Balancer 111935, to perform back coning on light truck wheels. When used in conjunction with an appropriate centering cone (e.g., No. 308095), this spacer allows technicians to precisely mount light truck wheels with center holes up to 5 inches. This setup is crucial for replicating the vehicle's hub mounting, which significantly reduces wheel runout and minimizes vibrations for improved ride quality. Please note that this spacer is not intended for use with Coats 775, 875, or 1175 balancers.
