The operation method of dynamic balancing is: 1. Inflate the tire to the appropriate pressure, remove the lead weights on the rim, clean out the stones in the tire tread grooves, and clean the rim; 2. Install the tire with the mounting surface facing inward on the balancing shaft, select the appropriate cone, and secure the tire with the locking device; 3. Turn on the power of the balancing machine, pull out the ruler to measure the distance between the rim and the balancing machine, the width of the rim, and the diameter of the rim, and input the measured data in sequence; 4. Press the start button, the balancing machine begins to rotate the tire for measurement, be careful not to stand near the tire to avoid danger; 5. The balancing machine automatically stops after obtaining the data; 6. Rotate the tire until all position lights on one side of the balancing machine are fully lit (different models may display differently), then hammer the corresponding weight of lead blocks at the highest point of the rim on this side (the 12 o'clock position), and do the same on the other side; 7. Repeat the steps after step 4 until the balancing machine displays 0; 8. The dynamic balancing is completed, remove the tire.

As a car mechanic, I often perform wheel balancing, and the whole process is actually quite simple. First, lift the car, remove the wheel, and mount it on the balancing machine. Input the tire dimensions and let the machine spin. It will show the unbalanced points and weights, then you attach small lead weights or adjust positions on the inner side of the rim and retest until the reading returns to zero. Remember to ensure the wheel is securely mounted and not loose during operation—safety first. I’ve encountered cases where beginners forgot to clean the rim surface, causing the weights to not stick properly, so I always remind everyone to clean it first before proceeding. For tools, it’s essential to choose a reliable balancing machine—don’t skimp on the small cost. The whole process takes about ten minutes and helps prevent steering wheel vibrations at high speeds. It’s best to check it regularly every time you change tires or after driving 5,000 kilometers.

I've been driving for several years and it's my first time trying DIY wheel balancing, done right in the garage. You'll need a lift or jack to raise the car and remove the wheels, then mount them on the balancer to start the test. It shows red/green lights indicating where to add lead weights, so I stuck small iron pieces until the values stabilized. Messed up once when the weight wasn't aligned with the rim edge and flew off, had to redo it. Recommend preparing gloves and lead weight tools instead of bare hands to avoid injury. The whole process isn't too complicated - takes about 20 minutes, suitable for occasional maintenance to save repair costs. Most importantly, keeping tires balanced prevents vibration, extends lifespan, and ensures safer driving, especially giving peace of mind on highways.

I think wheel balancing is quite convenient, even beginners can learn it quickly. Just mount the wheel on a balancing machine, start the rotation, and it automatically detects the unbalanced parts. Then attach lead weights on the inner and outer rims to balance the weight, repeating the process a few times until it's smooth. If you feel the steering wheel vibrating while driving, get it balanced promptly to avoid unnecessary wear on the suspension system and save money. If you're not confident doing it yourself, professional shops offer quick and reasonably priced services. Properly balanced tires ensure even force distribution, resulting in a quiet and comfortable ride. It's an essential part of routine maintenance that saves time and hassle.

Every time I perform wheel balancing, I take extra care. First, I check if the wheel hub surface is clean and free of rust stains, then gently place the balancing weights using specialized clips to avoid scratches. After mounting it on the balancing machine and starting it up, I observe the screen pointer position and accurately adjust the angle until the error falls within the permissible range. During operation, I steady the equipment with both hands and stay focused—safety first, and it's best to wear goggles. There are different types of balancing weights; choosing ones with strong adhesion ensures they won’t fall off at high speeds. Based on personal experience, doing this every six months or before long trips can prevent vibrations and enhance driving comfort. Being meticulous pays off.
