Is Wheel Balancing Necessary After a Wheel Alignment?

[AuroraFitz]

Wheel balancing is not necessarily required after a wheel alignment. The purpose of a wheel alignment is to ensure the vehicle maintains stable straight-line driving, facilitates easier steering, and reduces wear on tires and steering components during driving. Situations that require a wheel alignment include: 1. When the vehicle's driving performance is affected; 2. Damage to the chassis and suspension due to an accident; 3. Abnormal tire wear; 4. Removal of axle or suspension components. The purpose of wheel balancing is to prevent dynamic imbalance when the wheels rotate at high speeds, which can cause wheel shaking and steering wheel vibration during driving. Situations that require wheel balancing include: 1. The vehicle has been involved in a major accident; 2. The vehicle pulls to one side or the steering wheel feels unstable while driving.
