Is Wheel Alignment Necessary After Wheel Balancing?

[LeNova]

Performing a wheel alignment does not necessarily require wheel balancing. However, if you replace or repair a tire, and the tire is removed from the rim, wheel balancing must be done. Below are specific scenarios when a wheel alignment is needed: Vehicle Pulling to One Side: If your car tends to drift to one side while driving or the steering wheel doesn't return to center automatically, a wheel alignment is required. Removal of Components: If parts of the axle or suspension have been removed, a wheel alignment is necessary. Damage from Accidents: If the chassis or suspension is damaged due to an accident, a wheel alignment should be performed. Abnormal Tire Wear: If the tires show uneven wear, particularly severe wear on one side of the front or rear tires, a wheel alignment is needed.
