Is Wheel Balancing Necessary for Rear Wheels?
1 Answers
Rear wheels do require wheel balancing. When performing wheel balancing, it is advisable to balance all four wheels together. Replacing or repairing rear wheels can alter their mass distribution, necessitating wheel balancing. Factors that can change the mass distribution of tires include: 1. Manufacturing tolerances in tires, or inaccurate axial positioning during the machining of wheel hubs and brake drums; 2. Variations in the mass of wheel bolts; 3. Tire wear, out-of-round conditions, or deformation; 4. Mud accumulation on tires after off-road driving, which increases the mass in certain sections; 5. Tire repair or replacement of tires and wheel hubs.
