What Happens If Wheel Balancing Is Not Done?

[LeElliott]

If wheel balancing is not performed, the following issues may occur: the tires may exhibit rhythmic bouncing, which translates to the cabin as steering wheel vibration, affecting driving comfort. Wheel balancing is the process of correcting the balance of a wheel in motion by adding counterweights to equalize the weight distribution around the wheel's edges, ensuring the wheel remains balanced during rotation. The steps for performing wheel balancing are: 1. Remove the existing counterweights before starting the balancing process; 2. Use a specialized wheel balancing machine to measure the weight distribution of the wheel; 3. Add appropriately weighted counterweights at the corresponding positions. Wheel balancing should be performed in the following situations: 1. After replacing a new tire or repairing damage from a collision; 2. When there is uneven wear on one side of the front or rear tires; 3. When the steering wheel feels excessively heavy or vibrates during driving; 4. When the vehicle pulls to the left or right while driving straight.
