Wheel Balancer
If you have been noticing uneven tyre wear or sudden juddering coming from your vehicle’s wheels, it might be possible that your car needs a wheel balancing check. Know that unevenly balanced wheels can hamper your driving comfort and road safety.
If you are opting for wheel balancing, make sure you visit a facility that is equipped with the right machinery to perform this procedure. At Kingswinford Tyres, our mechanics use state-of-the-art wheel balancer machines to promptly address problems by locating parts of a wheel that are out of weight balance.
We use dynamic and static wheel balancers. On the static machine, the wheel is balanced without spinning. On the other hand, the dynamic wheel balancing machine, replicates the spinning motion of a wheel while driving. This technique helps us achieve a higher degree of precision while conducting wheel balancing.
To ensure you receive the best possible service, we follow these steps during the procedure:
Step 1: We will dismount the wheel and place it in the balancing machine, spinning it at a high speed
Step 2: We will then note down the readings provided by the machine’s computer system.
Step 3: Next we will analyse the readings and pin-point the imbalance
Step 4: We adjust the wheel’s weight distribution by attaching small counterweights to the rim.
Step 5: The balance is again checked. If all is right, the wheel is re-mounted on the vehicle.
Step 6: We finish the process with a final tyre pressure check/adjustment.
To properly carry out the whole procedure, the machine must identify the exact location of the imbalance and provide the reading to the technician. The high-grade wheel balancers at our facility show the precise spot where weight needs to be added in order to balance the wheel using a combination of laser precision and video technology.
