Have you had a look at the rods, we had a fault with ours and it ended up being the support rods. they are cheap to replace but get both done at the same time.

its very normal for stick on weight to fall off over time ask the tyre dealer to balance the wheel different so the weights are away from the caliper as the heat from the caliper after a long drive make s the stick on weights lose there adhesion to the wheel hope this helps
