What is the purpose of the lead weights on wheels?
1 Answers
The purpose of the lead weights on wheels is to ensure the dynamic balance of the tires. Dynamic balance involves correcting the balance of various edge parts of the wheel by adding counterweights while the wheel is in motion. Its significance lies in maintaining the wheel's balance during rotation. Situations that require dynamic balancing include: 1. After replacing a new tire or repairing due to a collision accident; 2. Unilateral wear on the front or rear tires; 3. The steering wheel feels too heavy or shakes while driving; 4. The car veers to the left or right when driving straight. The steps for dynamic balancing are: 1. Remove the original counterweights; 2. Use a specialized dynamic balancing machine to measure the weight distribution of the wheel; 3. Add counterweights of appropriate weight at the corresponding positions.
