Do Metal Valve Stem Caps Affect Wheel Balancing?
1 Answers
No impact, the weight of metal caps is basically negligible. Below is a detailed introduction to automotive wheel balancing: Concept: Automotive wheel balancing refers to the process performed to eliminate vibrations and additional force couples caused by unbalanced mass during wheel rotation. Even if a wheel is statically balanced, it may still be dynamically unbalanced. Effects of dynamic imbalance: Unbalanced rotation of the four wheels can cause wobbling and bouncing (visibly felt as steering wheel vibration at high speeds), leading to wave-like tire wear and reduced driving stability. At this point, preventing such unbalanced rotation becomes particularly important.
