The wheels on your vehicle can go out of balance from everyday wear and tear or imperfections from the manufacturing process. If you notice any vibrations on your steering wheel or the floor of your vehicle, there is a possibility that you need to get a balancing service.
Wheel balancing is the process of balancing the tire and wheel assembly. This ensures that your vehicle will travel evenly and that there are no weight imbalances with the body of your vehicle and the tires.
