Why is Wheel Balancing Important?

Wheel balancing helps evenly distribute weight around your tyre and wheel assembly. When wheels are out of balance, it can lead to premature tyre wear, increased fuel consumption, and poor vehicle handling.

When Should You Get a Wheel Balancing Check?

Watch out for these common symptoms of unbalanced wheels:

• Uneven or rapid tyre wear
  If your tyres are wearing unevenly, especially on one side, it could be a sign of imbalance.
• Steering wheel vibrations
  Feeling vibrations or shaking through your steering wheel, especially at higher speeds, is a strong indicator your wheels may be out of balance.
• Noisy driving or suspension strain
  An imbalanced wheel setup puts strain on suspension components, leading to knocking sounds, damaged shock absorbers, and a less comfortable ride.
• Loose or floaty steering
  Lack of precision in steering may signal unbalanced wheels, which can affect your control behind the wheel.

Our Wheel Balancing Process

When you visit Van Repairs Team for wheel balancing, we follow a systematic and reliable approach:

1. Wheels are unmounted from your vehicle.
2. They are placed on a high-precision balancing machine.
3. The machine spins the wheel to detect imbalance points.
4. Our technicians analyse the data and apply counterweights where needed.
5. Wheels are refitted according to manufacturer guidelines.
