Is Wheel Balancing Unnecessary for Rear Wheels?

[DiIsabella]

Rear wheels do require wheel balancing. If balancing is needed, it is advisable to perform it on all four wheels simultaneously. After tire replacement, it is essential to redo the wheel balancing to prevent abnormal vibrations during high-speed driving. Generally, wheel balancing refers to the equilibrium between wheels when the vehicle is in motion, commonly achieved by adding balancing weights. Due to manufacturing imperfections, the mass distribution across the wheel assembly cannot be perfectly uniform. When the wheels rotate at high speeds, this can lead to dynamic imbalance, causing wheel vibrations and steering wheel shaking during driving. To prevent or correct this condition, weights are added to the wheels under dynamic conditions to balance the edges, which is the essence of wheel balancing.
