Wheel Balancing

Wheels that are not balanced or are out of balance generally produce a vibration that is uncomfortable to drive with and results in premature wearing of suspension, steering comonents, rotating parts and most of all tyres.

This is even more critical on Prestige, Sports, Super and Exotic Cars that are designed to travel at high speeds and accelerate quickly. The Prestige Service Centre can re balance your wheels for you to stop this problem, saving you money in the long term.

Correctly balanced wheels help to eliminate vibration and aviod premature wear caused by an imbalance in the rotating wheel and tyre assembly.

The first sign that your wheels may be out of balance is when your steering wheel starts to wobble above a certain speed (normally between 50-70 mph). The light weight construction of modern cars means that they dont dampen down the vibrations caused by spinning wheels in the way that older, heavier vehicles could.

A driver may not always sense an imbalance at the steering wheel, especially in the rear wheels. It could be present still but dampened by the vehicles weight or if on the rear that they are not connected to the steering wheel as the front wheels are. This is why balancing is equally important for both front and rear wheels.

Wheels arr balanced on a wheel balancing machine. The machine rotates the wheel and tyre assembly and automatically calculates the weight and location of the wheel balance counter weight needed.

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