Factors such as incorrect weight distribution, road conditions, tread wear etc. can contribute to vehicles loosing their balance over time. As a result, vehicle might shake or vibrate while in use. Thus Wheel Balancing is required.
At Truck Services & Maintenance Ltd when balancing the wheels, we basically apply a calibrated spin balancer, and test static and moving aspects of the wheel and correct an unevenness. We recommended wheel balancing when tyres are rotated or every 6-12 months, anyway, depending on type of vehicle and its use.
Wheel Alignment involves adjustment of the angle of the vehicles wheels. If vehicle is pulling to one side, has been involved in an accident or during annual inspections wheel alignment is recommended. There is no specific mileage or designated timeframes for wheel alignments.
To ensure safe and efficient operation of your vehicle, Wheel Alignment and Wheel Balancing are very important.
