Do sedan rear wheels need dynamic balancing?
2 Answers
Sedan rear wheels need dynamic balancing, specifically as follows: 1. Rear wheels that have had their tires or rims replaced, undergone tire repairs, or suffered significant impacts require dynamic balancing. 2. If dynamic balancing is not performed on the rear wheels, it can cause vehicle vibration, which affects driving stability and may lead to safety hazards. Therefore, performing dynamic balancing on rear wheels is highly necessary. The following are the drawbacks of not performing dynamic balancing: 1. If issues are not promptly inspected, it can reduce vehicle handling and even cause deviation, affecting driving safety. 2. It can accelerate abnormal tire wear, shortening the tire's service life. 3. It increases the rolling resistance of the vehicle's tires, leading to higher fuel consumption.
When I first started driving, I was also curious about whether rear wheels needed balancing. Honestly, from my own experience, it's really necessary. I remember once after changing tires, I didn’t get them balanced, and the rear end kept making a humming noise while driving. At first, I thought it was just uneven roads, but later the mechanic told me it was due to unbalanced rear wheels. Now, every time I get new tires or have wheel repairs, I always ask the shop to do a wheel balance. After all, if the wheels are unbalanced at high speeds, it not only makes the ride uncomfortable but can also wear out bearings and suspension parts, leading to more expensive repairs over time. I usually check my driving habits—wheel balance is no small matter, especially on highways where even a slight imbalance can amplify, making driving tiring and dangerous. So, I believe sedan rear wheels should also get balanced. Don’t skip it to save a little money; spending a small amount on maintenance can extend tire life and ensure safety and comfort.
