Wheel Balancing In Walsall

Precision balancing that smooths out vibration - from £10 per wheel.

Steering wheel shudder between fifty and seventy mph is the classic sign of unbalanced wheels. Our computerised balancer pinpoints imbalance to within a single gram and corrects it with stick-on or clip-on weights, protecting suspension joints and giving you a smoother ride.

Why Wheels Go Out Of Balance

Every wheel and tyre leaves us balanced, but weights can shed over time and a hard pothole can knock the combination off. The hallmark symptom is a vibration that only appears at motorway speeds - and the cure is usually a quick, low-cost balance.

Balancing Suits Alloys And Steels

We match the weight to the wheel - stick-on weights inside the rim keep alloys looking smart, while clip-on weights handle steel wheels cleanly. Both methods are set to within a single gram, which is the difference between a smooth motorway run and a rattling one.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know my wheels need balancing?

Vibration through the steering wheel or floor at steady motorway speeds is the tell-tale sign. Uneven tyre wear can also point to imbalance.

How long does balancing take?

Around five minutes per wheel once the wheels are off the car.
