Wheel Balancing

Wheel Balancing

Wheel balancing and wheel alignment are often confused but serve different purposes. Balancing corrects weight imbalances in each wheel and should be done frequently, while alignment adjusts wheel angles and is needed less often. Both improve tire life, performance, and safety, making regular balancing more essential.

The Importance of Wheel Balancing:

Over time, wheels can become imbalanced, leading to vibrations that impact your vehicle’s smoothness and safety. Wheel balancing ensures that each tire is evenly balanced with the wheel’s weight, reducing stress on the suspension and improving driving comfort. If you notice your steering wheel vibrating at certain speeds, it may be a sign of imbalanced wheels that need immediate attention.

When to Balance Your Wheels:

  • When you install new tires
  • If a weight on the rim falls off
  • The floorboard and your seats vibrate at high speeds, usually, if there is an imbalance is in the rear wheels.
  • When the steering wheel or seats vibrate at high speeds
  • When you see the wear pattern on the tyres scalloped or cupped.
  • Every 5,000 to 10,000 km, for optimal performance and tire life

What will happen if you ignore wheel balancing?

Unbalanced wheels lead to uneven tire wear, more frequent replacements, and increased strain on critical car components like the suspension and axle.

When to Balance Your Wheels:

  • Remove tire and wheel
  • Mount each wheel on a precision balancing machine
  • Spin the wheel to identify any imbalance
  • Attach weights to balance the tire
  • Remount the tire and wheel
