Should Wheel Balancing Be Done on Two or Four Wheels?
1 Answers
Wheel balancing should be performed on all four tires whenever an operation alters the mass distribution of any part of the wheel. Situations requiring wheel balancing include: 1. After installing new tires or post-collision repairs. 2. Unilateral wear on front or rear tires. 3. Heavy steering wheel or floating/shaking sensations while driving. 4. Vehicle pulling to the left or right during straight-line driving. 5. For maintenance purposes, it's recommended to check new vehicles after 3 months of driving, then every six months or 10,000 kilometers thereafter. Benefits of proper wheel balancing: 1. Reduced fuel consumption. 2. Extended tire service life. 3. Decreased chassis wear. 4. Improved driving safety.
