Do I need a wheel alignment after getting a tire balance?

[LeviAnn]

Tire balance does not require a wheel alignment. Tire balancing only adjusts the weight distribution of the tires and is generally necessary whenever the tires have been 'moved.' On the other hand, wheel alignment adjusts the angle coefficients of the vehicle's chassis system and is a maintenance procedure, so it should not be done unnecessarily. Wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle and ensures optimal driving performance and reliability. Situations that require a wheel alignment include: 1. After repairing a tire collision accident. 2. After replacing steering system components. 3. After replacing or adjusting the suspension system. 4. Uneven wear on one side of the front or rear tires. 5. Heavy steering or floating and shaking while driving. 6. The car pulls to the left or right when driving straight.
