Vehicle - Wheel Balancing

Wheel Balancing allows the tyres and wheels to spin without causing any vibrations. This is accomplished by checking for any heavy spots on the wheel-tyre combination and compensating for it by placing a measured lead weight on the opposite site of the wheel from where the heavy spot is.

The symptoms of a wheel that is out of balance are:
  - Vibration in the steering wheel at certain highway speeds.
  - Vibration in the seat or floorboard at certain highway speeds.
  - Scalloped or cupped wear pattern on the tyres.

It is important to get your wheels balanced because an unbalanced wheel can cause damage to suspension, bearings and the drive train.

At our Autoworld Fitment Centre Wheel Balancing is done by state of the art electronic balancing machines.

The Autoworld Fitment Centre on Kafue Road next to the Downtown Shopping Centre is now equipped with electronic machinery to perform truck wheel balancing.
