Introduction to wheel balancing and wheel alignment
Road Safety authorities have given much attention to vehicle maintenance and aspects such as tyre safety. Vehicle factors are contributing factors to road crashes - and we would like to advise vehicle owners and drivers to pay close attention to their vehicles and vehicle components. This will allow them the best possible chance to arrive safely at their destination!
Aspects often neglected by vehicle owners are wheel balancing and wheel alignment. Most often these aspects are confused and little attention is given to their importance. They contribute towards tyre life, and are both important for your safety on the road!
Wheel balancing allows the tires and wheels to spin without causing any vibrations. This is accomplished by checking for any heavy spots on the wheel-tire combination and compensating for it by placing a measured lead weight on the opposite site of the wheel from where the heavy spot is.
