Is it necessary to remove the existing lead weights during wheel balancing?

[DeCayden]

It is necessary to remove the existing lead weights during wheel balancing. Here are the relevant details: 1. Weight distribution: Before performing wheel balancing, the existing balancing weights must first be removed. A specialized wheel balancer is used to measure the weight distribution of the wheel, after which appropriately weighted balancing weights are added at the corresponding positions. 2. Wheel balancing: This directly affects driving safety. If wheel balancing is not performed after tire repair, the wheel may not rotate smoothly, leading to issues such as vehicle vibration and steering wheel shaking during driving. This phenomenon becomes particularly noticeable at high speeds, with the vibration intensifying as the speed increases.
