WHAT IS WHEEL BALANCING?
Wheel balancing is all about how the wheel of a vehicle is balanced out. It means the wheel is
balanced out equally, rather than unevenly. If the wheel is balanced unevenly, then it results in
the wheel not working as it should work. Whereas, if the wheel is balanced, then the wheel
will work correctly and the way that it is supposed to work. Therefore, wheel balancing is
important for your vehicle, it is the difference between a vehicle working properly and a
vehicle working wrongly.
This should not be confused with wheel alignment. Wheel alignment is different from wheel
balancing. Wheel alignment is when the wheels are aligned parallel with each other. It is to
ensure that the wheels are kept in a straight line. This helps to ensure that the vehicle works
properly.
It is easy to confuse wheel alignment with wheel balance, as they are similar. But, they are
two separate things – they form two different functions. Each of these functions works to
ensure that your vehicle works the way that it is supposed to. And that it functions in a way
that is correct.
