    I bought new drums and one has several balancing weights, the other does not. My original Ford part number stamped drums do not have any weights. Should I be concerned? Should I take one back and if so which one? Thanks!

    Some drums test OK when made and don't require a weight. Some have a heavy spot and get a weight to make them balanced. Either way it is fine.
