What is the Difference Between Wheel Balancing and Four-Wheel Alignment?

[DelMolly]

Wheel balancing and four-wheel alignment differ in their fundamental purposes: wheel balancing is performed on the wheels, while four-wheel alignment adjusts the length and position of various suspension components. The steps for wheel balancing are: 1. Remove the center cap of the wheel hub, install the balancing machine for measurement, and input the data; 2. Measure the width of the wheel rim and input the data; 3. Based on the data calculated by the computer, add appropriate balancing weights to the inner and outer sides of the wheel rim, and retest until the standard is met. The steps for four-wheel alignment are: 1. Connect the power and turn on the machine; 2. Attach the target to the wheel with the target facing the camera; 3. Click into the measurement program on the computer interface; 4. Open the camera to confirm if the target is positioned correctly, adjusting it if necessary; 5. Click to measure and follow the prompts to obtain the measurement data; 6. Adjust the total front toe data of the vehicle to the green standard range.
