Wheel Balancing
Wheel Balancing Explained
​
Wheel balancing, also known as tire balancing, is a crucial procedure that ensures the optimal equilibrium of your vehicle's wheels. When your wheels are imbalanced, it can compromise the smoothness of your ride and even cause premature wear and tear on various vehicle components.
​
Modern suspension systems are adept at minimizing vibrations, making it difficult for drivers to detect unbalanced wheels through feel alone. Consequently, if you experience any vibrations while driving, it might be an indication that one or more of your wheels require balancing.
At Earlswood Garage, we offer a precision wheel balancing service designed to match your wheels precisely with your vehicle's specifications. This meticulous tire balancing process results in a smoother driving experience and enhances the overall performance and longevity of your tires.

Distinguishing Wheel Balancing from Wheel Alignment
​
It's important to note that wheel balancing and wheel alignment are two distinct services, each offering unique advantages for your tires and vehicle.
​
Wheel balancing primarily focuses on achieving an even distribution of weight on your wheels, ensuring they rotate smoothly without causing vibrations. On the other hand, wheel alignment addresses the positioning of your wheels in relation to each other and the vehicle's frame. Proper wheel alignment enhances handling, safety, and prevents uneven tire wear.
