Wheel Balancing FAQ

  • What is wheel balancing, and why is it important?

    Wheel balancing ensures that the weight is evenly distributed around the entire wheel and tire assembly. Proper balancing prevents vibrations, uneven tire wear, and improves vehicle handling, making for a smoother and safer ride.

  • How do I know if my wheels need balancing?

    Common signs that your wheels may need balancing include vibrations in the steering wheel, seat, or floorboard while driving, especially at higher speeds. Uneven tire wear and poor handling can also indicate unbalanced wheels.

  • How often should I get my wheels balanced?

    It’s recommended to have your wheels balanced every 5,000 to 6,000 miles or during every tire rotation. However, you should also get your wheels balanced anytime you notice vibration issues or after installing new tires.

  • What happens during a wheel balancing service?

    During a wheel balancing service, each wheel is mounted on a specialized balancing machine that measures imbalances in the tire and wheel assembly. Small weights are then added to correct any imbalances, ensuring even rotation and smooth driving.

  • Can unbalanced wheels cause damage to my vehicle?

    Yes, unbalanced wheels can cause premature tire wear, excessive strain on suspension components, and damage to steering parts. Prolonged vibrations from unbalanced wheels can also lead to costly repairs if left unaddressed.

  • Is wheel balancing the same as wheel alignment?

    No, wheel balancing and wheel alignment are different services. Wheel balancing corrects weight distribution issues in the wheel and tire assembly, while wheel alignment adjusts the angles of the wheels to ensure they meet the road correctly.

  • How long does a wheel balancing service take?

    A typical wheel balancing service takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of wheels being balanced and any additional services, such as tire rotation, that might be performed at the same time.

  • Can I drive with unbalanced wheels?

    While it’s possible to drive with unbalanced wheels, it’s not recommended. Doing so can lead to uncomfortable vibrations, uneven tire wear, and potential damage to your vehicle’s suspension and steering components. It's best to address unbalanced wheels promptly.
