Do you notice shaking when you accelerate? Does your vehicle vibrate after you hit a bump or rock? Those are common signs of misalignment and imbalanced tires. Each component of your wheels is designed to help stabilize the overall structure.
Bauer Built offers comprehensive tire balancing services so you can enjoy a safe and smooth driving experience. We use the latest computerized technology and equipment during our tire balancing process. That allows us to provide pinpoint accuracy and determine problem areas that may contribute to misalignments.
Regular balancing can protect your tires from uneven and excess wear, increasing their service life. That can help you save money and reduce the risk of having to replace your tires prematurely.
You may notice a decline in your vehicle’s stability over time. While a variety of factors may contribute, most issues stem from the alignment of your chassis and tires. Imbalanced tires and uneven wheels can create more vibration, taking a toll on your suspension.
Balanced tires also respond better to steering input, so you don’t have to worry about pulling to one side. You should also schedule a balancing service if you have new tires installed to address weight imperfections.
We begin each appointment with a thorough inspection. Our tire technicians complete a visual assessment to determine if your tires and wheels sit flush on the hub. They also check for lug nut movement and examine the rim, camber and toe for issues.
Once it’s been removed, we mount your tires on a balancing machine to evaluate the weight distribution. The machine identifies issues and records the amount of weight needed to balance the wheel. Our technicians add counterweights based on those findings to correct imbalances.
This type of advanced tire balancing method simulates tire motion on the road to analyze weight distribution. Computerized sensors detect variations in stiffness and balance as your tire spins. Road force balancing can help tire technicians enhance tire performance and reduce wear.
You may notice your gas tank empties faster than usual. That could be because your engine is overcompensating for the uneven weight distribution of your wheels. Uneven tires and wheels can make it harder for your engine to propel your vehicle forward. Regular tire balancing can help you get ahead of those issues so you can save money on repairs and fuel.
Over time, your tires will sustain wear and tear and develop bald spots. Wheel thinning on one side can be a safety hazard, but wheel balancing can prolong tire service life. Imbalanced tires can cause vibrations, which can wear on your suspension. Getting your tires balanced evens weight distribution and reduces wear on the suspension and chassis.
