corner balancing is an effort to get cross-weights equal. having the front lower than the back (or vice versa) would not affect one's corner balance, only the front/back weight distribution.

do you have a multitester? if one side doesn't conduct with the other, one might assume that the rubber layer, separating the two rings completely, may act as a harmonic damper. if they do conduct,...
