Wheelcare Discusses Their Wheel Balance Packages and Their Importance

One of their many products includes their wheel balance ranges which are suitable for the toughest jobs. When your wheels are unbalance it means that as the wheel rotates, it is trying to bounce up and down, the more unbalanced they are the more pronounced this becomes. This vibration causes high-pressure stress in the steering, hub assemblies and suspension, resulting in excessive mechanical wear and high fuel consumption as well as wearing of the tyre. Damage to the suspension, wheel bearings and steering components is unavoidable if the imbalance is left unattended.

It is also worth knowing that the more unbalanced your tyre is the less grip it has on the road surface this in turn leads to increased wear along with fuel consumption. The benefits of having optimised tyre balancing gives you better grip, reduced tyre wear, improved safety, comfort and fuel economy to name but a few. You will notice that wheels that are unbalanced generally produce a vibration that is uncomfortable to drive in and results in premature wearing of suspension and steering components, rotating parts and tyres, correctly balance wheels will eliminate this. One of the signs that lets you know that your wheels are out of balance is when your steering wheel starts to shakes above a certain speed.

Incorrect wheel balance is easily corrected by using a computerised electronic wheel balancer to measure the imbalance, and then adding small metal weights to even things up. It is essential that you have your wheels balanced whenever you replace a tyre or have a puncture repaired (alloy wheels require specially coated weights to avoid corrosion caused by chemical reaction between differing metals).

As a result of wheel balancing, you should notice a smoother ride and better wear from your tyres, again saving you time and money.
