Bring your commercial vehicle to Bauer Built in Waukesha if you notice any of the following:
You should also schedule a balancing service if you have new tires installed to address weight imperfections.
Each appointment starts with a thorough inspection. Our tire technicians complete a visual assessment to determine if your tires are seated on the wheel properly. They also check for lug nut movement and examine the rim, camber and toe for issues.
We loosen lug nuts while your commercial vehicle is on the ground before elevating it with a hydraulic lift and removing the tires. Once the tire is removed, we inspect the tire interior and rim for damage, corrosion and embedded debris.
We mount your tires on a balancing machine to evaluate weight distribution. The machine spins the assembly to detect and record imbalances.
The measurement process includes static and dynamic balancing to determine weight distribution on the vertical and horizontal planes. Our technicians add counterweights based on those findings to correct imbalances.
We remount each tire to our balancing machine again to determine if the imbalance is corrected. Our technicians will complete any necessary minor adjustments to ensure your tires rotate efficiently.
We complete a final inspection and test drive your vehicle to verify the appropriate corrections are complete. Our technicians will conduct a torque check once your vehicle is lowered off the lift.
You may notice a decline in vehicle stability over time if you drive on imbalanced tires, which can pose a safety risk to you and other drivers. They can also create more vibrations, damaging your suspension and steering components.
Balanced tires respond better to steering input and reduce the risk of uneven tire wear, which reduces the risk of unexpected repairs and replacements. Scheduling regular tire balances is also important for adhering to industry safety and performance standards.
