Wheel Balance

Wheel alignment and wheel balancing are two different things. The wheel balance provides you with a smooth ride. To balance a wheel and tire assembly, the mechanic puts your wheels on a balancing machine. The machine will spin the wheel and measure the unbalance and calculates how much and where additional weight needs to be added. The mechanic will then put weights on to balance your wheel. This is done on all your car’s wheels.

The warning signs for tires that are out of balance are: vehicle vibration over 40mph, shaking steering wheel over 60mpg, or uneven wear on the tires. Every time you hit a pothole or a corner, it effects the balance.

It is important to have your tires balanced regularly. Balancing your wheels is a cost effective way to reduce tire wear, increase your fuel efficiency and to promote driving safety, leading to a smoother, more comfortable ride.
