The alignment of your wheels keeps you moving in a straight line, but the balance makes sure the drive isn’t uneven. You want to keep your ride from being bumpy, so that means ensuring your wheel balance gets looked at at regular intervals, just like you get your wheel aligned and your tires rotated. Read on with the service experts here at the Downtown Auto Group, as we take a closer look at wheel balance.

The Importance of Wheel Balance
Symptoms of Unbalanced Wheels
When your wheels are out of balance, your drive will be noticeably bumpy or wobbly. At high speeds, you may also feel vibration through the wheel or in the cabin itself. The uneven drive will also make the vehicle sound louder on the road. If you notice any of these symptoms, you should book in to have your wheel balance looked at as soon as possible.
Regular Wheel Balancing
Wheel alignment and wheel balancing are two different services, but it’s easy to have them both done at the same time. Whenever you schedule a wheel alignment, consider asking for the balance to be looked at as well. In general, it’s recommended your wheel balance should be serviced every 8,000 km to 16,000 km.
