What is a wheel balancing service?
If one section of a tyre is heavier than the rest, then that tyre will rotate unevenly - or be out of balance. To balance a wheel, your mechanic will use a special computer-operated balancing machine that pinpoints exactly where any extra weight is on your tyre or wheel, and he will then place special counterweights on the opposing side - thus balancing the weight around the wheel. Having balanced tyres will extend the life of your tyres and increase their performance and your vehicles safety.
When do I need my car's wheels balanced?
- If your car or steering is wobbling, vibrating or your tyres are noisy.
- Whenever you replace your tyres.
- Whenever you rotate your tyres
If your tyres are making noises or your steering is feeling a little shaky - it could mean your car needs a tyre re-balance - or it could be a different issue altogether. The best way to diagnose steering issue in your vehicle is to speak to an expert.
