Is It Critical to Skip Wheel Balancing After Tire Repair?

[ElleAnn]

Wheel balancing is necessary after tire repair. Below are relevant details about wheel balancing: Steering wheel vibration: This can be felt while driving, with the most noticeable symptom being rhythmic wheel hopping, which translates into steering wheel vibration inside the vehicle. When encountering steering wheel vibration, check wheel balancing first. Bearing lifespan reduction: It also affects bearing longevity, potentially causing bearing fatigue over time. In cases of severe imbalance, tires may experience abnormal lateral sway leading to uneven wear, ultimately impacting tire lifespan. In summary, wheel imbalance negatively affects the vehicle itself.
