  1. What is Wheel Alignment and Balancing? What is the difference?

    Wheel alignment and wheel balancing are different service but are both very important part of tyre maintenance. It is needed to enhance the life and performance of your tires.

    Wheel alignment sometimes called as ‘’front end alignment”, is the process in which the technician will adjust the angle of your car’s wheel to the position according to the manufacturer’s recommended specification. The purpose of this adjustment is to reduce tyre wear and keep your steering wheel and tyres in the straight position.

    Wheel balancing is done by taking the wheel off the vehicle and placing it on a wheel balancing machine. The technician will use a calibrated spin balancer and usually test both static (none moving) and dynamic (moving) wheel balance. The procedure usually done once every 5-6,000 miles or every 6 months and during when a new tire gets fitted it must be rebalanced. If you feel vibration in the steering wheel, the floorboard or your seat it is the time that may need a tyre balancing done.
