[ "Wheel balancing: Importance and ProceduresA profound effect can be experienced on the cars performance even if the wheels are slightly imbalanced. Tyres are the only component of a vehicle that is in contact with the road. They are effective in the transmission of accelerating and braking forces. Any type of force that is being experienced is transferred to the steering wheel as well. Thus, it would not be wrong to say that wheels play an important role in the working dynamics of the car. If the wheels are perfectly balanced then everything would work naturally well. The wheel assembly would start rotating around the centre. This would cause the centrifugal force to act on the centre of the axel.Balancing the wheel is not only important for vehicle control but is also important for tyre durability. Imbalanced wheels wear out fast and thus reduce tyre life. Wheels balance can be affected if one is using different sets of tyres, or, due to changes in height of the wheels, different shapes of tyres being used or when your vehicle hits a pothole resulting in heavy spots or wear. In such a situation wheel balancing is requiredWheel balancing procedureGetting wheel rebalanced is a very simple and quick process. When a person takes their car to a wheel balancing Coventry for wheel balancing, initially the technician will ensure whether the tyre is properly mounted on the rim or not. The technician would also make sure that the tyre is inflated to the correct pressure along with valves being seated correctly. For the next step, the technician would make use of the machine on which they would put on the tyres. This would help in spinning the tyre and locating the severity and position of the imbalance. The imbalance will be repaired by the technicians by placing weights on each side of the tyres so that the imbalance is counteracted. This process would continue to repeat until the wheel gets properly balancedIf the service centre makes use of the machine-like Coats 1250 for balancing the wheel then the steps given below are followed:The technician would first turn on the balancerThen the wheel, rim flange, the tyre would be cleanedThe wheel gets mounted on the balancerA & D wheel dimensions are entered by the technicianThe technician would enter the width wheel dimensionsThe next step involves lowering the hood to check the dimension and spin the wheelThen the hood is raised as soon as the tyre stops rotatingThe technician then notes when the inboard centre bar blinksIn the next step, the corrective weight is attachedThe technician will then press next for rotating the wheelThe outboard corrective weights are attachedThe hood is lowered to check the spin and balance.One question that may be arising in the minds of every car owner is how frequently should they get wheel balancing done?
