It definitely sounds like you need new balances. I recommend our S751-23 channel balance. This should work well for you, though I'm not sure which of our stamp options would be the equivalent of "22U." That's not one I've ever run into. You should weigh your sash and refer to the chart on our S751-23 store page to confirm the best choice.
