Wheel Balancer

A wheel balancer prevents troublesome vibrations that cause wear on tires and suspension. If your shop has a wheel balancer handy, the most common cause of wheel vibrations—unbalanced tires—can be fixed in minutes.Wheel balancing is the process of balancing the weight of a tire and wheel assembly so that it travels evenly at high speeds. Balancing requires putting a mounted wheel and tire on a balancer, which centers the wheel and spins it to determine where the weights should go.
