Negative effects of unbalanced wheels

by Dzananwa Motors

Wheel balancing and wheel alignment is an important part of ensuring safer driving on the roads. Wheels that are not balanced cause the steering wheel to vibrate which negatively affects the driver’s handling of the vehicle.

An increase in fuel consumption is also evident as the unbalanced wheels increase the need for additional energy when driving. Your suspension and steering components, rotating parts and tyres will also experience premature wearing due to unbalanced wheels.

If you choose to ignore the above symptoms and do not balance and align your wheels you will not only endanger your life when driving on the road, but the wearing of the parts of the vehicle will also be very expensive to replace in the long run.

Wheel alignment and wheel balancing should be done every 10 000km or once per year.
