Wheel Balancing
Or
A tyre balance service at Marks & Wallings means that you can be confident your vehicle’s tyres are balanced to factory specifications. Located at 940-946 Victoria Rd, West Ryde, we service those in West Ryde and the surrounding areas, including Eastwood, Gladesville, Epping and Ermington.
Our experienced technicians will ensure that the inconsistencies in your tyres are identified and resolved, which will help to give you a smooth ride and reduce the chances of premature tyre wear.
Indicators that your vehicle may require a wheel balance include:
- Shuddering in the steering wheel, particularly when traveling at higher speeds
- Uneven treadwear
- Rapid treadwear
- A combination of the above symptoms
Ignoring these warning signs can seriously impact on your vehicle’s overall performance and safety.
It is best practice to perform a wheel balance whenever new tyres are fitted or when existing tyres are dismounted for repair.
If your wheels are imbalanced this can lead to vibrations experienced through the steering wheel and driver’s seat (particularly when traveling at higher speeds), excessive tyre wear, and potentially more serious issues, including damage to the suspension.
When to book a tyre balance service
Your vehicle requires a tyre balance every time a tyre is fitted to a wheel. This includes when you have new tyres fitted, and if a punctured tyre has been removed for repair then fitted back onto the wheel.
If you notice symptoms such as a shuddering steering wheel when travelling at higher speeds, uneven or rapid tyre wear, or you’ve hit a curb or pothole, your tyres may have lost a wheel weight and require a tyre balancing service.
