What is Wheel Balancing?
Wheel balancing refers to the process of correcting a car’s weight distribution. Rough surfaces, vehicle vibrations, and other disruptions cause your wheels to become unbalanced. Such unequal weight distribution affects tyre wear and fuel efficiency.
Wheel balancing corrects these issues by adding small counterweights to each wheel. The results? Greater overall performance, less long-term damage, and reduced tyre wear.
Wheel Balancing Factors
Several factors influence wheel balance:
- Uneven tyre wear caused by misalignment or improper inflation.
- Loss of wheel weights due to adhesive failure or impacts.
- Wheel or tyre damage from accidents or curb collisions.
- Imbalanced mounting resulting from improper wheel installation.
- Deformities from impacts with potholes or road debris.
- Natural wear and tear affects wheel integrity.
- Manufacturing defects leading to tyre or wheel imbalance.
In addition, high vehicle speeds (greater than 50-60 mph) trigger vibrations that unbalance your vehicle.
