Are you looking for Wheel Balancing for your vehicle?

Wheel-Blanacing

Not only routine maintenance but also regular wheel balance checks are highly recommended as even a slight imbalance can severely impact your driving experience. It can lead to premature tyre wear and also to impaired driving safety.

At Meadowfield Auto Centre, we conduct car wheel balancing Ponteland using state-of-the-art equipment so our team of technicians with many years of experience can re-balance your car’s wheels accurately in next to no time.

How often should you opt for wheel balancing checks?

Our technicians suggest that car owners get their car's wheels balanced once every six months as they tend to lose balance over time. However, several other circumstances can accelerate the process.

Causes of wheel imbalance

While a lot of external factors can alter your car’s wheel balance, the following are the most prevalent reasons-

  • Due to a weight disparity around the wheel’s valve hole.
  • Regular wear and tear due to driving.
  • Incorrect tyre fitting.
  • Hitting curbs, driving over speed bumps or through potholes.
  • Loss of previously fitted counterweights

Hence, you should know about the tell-tale signs of wheel imbalance to avail expert assistance as early as possible.

Symptoms of wheel imbalance

The following are obvious signs that you will come across if your car’s wheels are out of balance.

  • Unbalanced wheels can result in higher fuel consumption.
  • Uneven, premature tyre tread wear
  • Wheel imbalance can cause a significant delay in steering response. It can also make it significantly harder to steer in the desired direction.
  • The steering columns will vibrate and cause a "bumpy" feeling. As the wheels have an uneven tyre profile, this sensation intensifies when driving at high speed.

If you come across any of these symptoms, do not take any risk and come to our wheel balancing garage Ponteland as soon as possible.
