Is Wheel Balancing Not Required for Rear Wheels?

[OHazel]

Wheel balancing is necessary for rear wheels. More information about wheel balancing is as follows: 1. Wheel balancing refers to the process of ensuring that the wheel does not vibrate or generate additional torque due to unbalanced mass during rotation. Tire balancing helps maintain a relatively stable state when the car tire rotates at high speed, ensuring normal driving. After tires are mounted on the rims, the weight distribution is usually not 100% uniform. A balancing machine is used to test the balance of the tire and rim during movement, and balance weights are applied at the unbalanced points to ensure smooth driving and avoid vibrations. 2. Benefits of wheel balancing: enhances driving comfort, reduces fuel consumption, extends tire lifespan, ensures straight-line stability, reduces wear on chassis suspension components, and improves driving safety. 3. Poor wheel balancing can lead to uneven tire wear and, in severe cases, deformation or blowouts. 4. After replacing or repairing tires, or if the wheels have suffered significant impact, a wheel balancing check should be performed, which also applies to rear wheels.
