Service overview

WHAT TO KNOW

Balancing measures heavy spots as a wheel and tire rotate, then uses small weights to compensate. It can reduce speed-related vibration caused by imbalance. A bent wheel, damaged tire or suspension fault may need a different repair.

When to have it checked

  • Steering or seat vibration at certain speeds
  • A missing wheel weight
  • Newly mounted tires

Planning your service

Balance tires when they are mounted and investigate new vibration. Balancing does not change alignment angles.

Step by step

WHAT TO EXPECT.

A typical wheel balancing visit follows these steps. The exact work depends on your vehicle and inspection findings; repairs are discussed before proceeding.

  1. Inspect tire and wheel

    Look for damage or wear that could cause vibration.

  2. Measure imbalance

    Spin the assembly on balancing equipment.

  3. Correct weight distribution

    Fit appropriate balancing weights and measure again.

  4. Review remaining concerns

    Discuss further diagnosis if vibration has another cause.
