How important are wheel alignment and balancing?

Do you know that wheel alignment and balancing help improve your car’s ride quality and enhance driving safety?
Today, let’s explore the differences between wheel alignment and wheel balancing and find out when they should be done.

What is Wheel Alignment?

Wheel alignment refers to adjusting a vehicle’s suspension system to ensure proper connection between the car and its wheels. This helps maintain the correct direction of the vehicle, preventing it from pulling to the left or right while driving.

When should you get a wheel alignment?

• The steering wheel is off-center when driving straight.
• The car drifts to the left or right when you release the steering wheel.
• The steering wheel vibrates while driving.
• Unusual noises occur when turning corners.
• Uneven tire wear, especially on the tire shoulders.
• The tires hit hard surfaces, such as curbs or sidewalks.
• Driving over potholes.

What is Wheel Balancing?

Wheel balancing ensures even weight distribution across the wheels and tires, preventing vibration and enhancing driving stability.

When should you get a wheel balancing?

• The steering wheel vibrates at high speeds or when decelerating.
• Every time you replace your tires (balancing should be done for all four wheels).
• Uneven tire wear.
