What is the difference between on wheel balancing and high speed balancing? Also what is the proper name when they take out the tyre and put it on the machine, rotates the tyre and but the small balancing things on the rim. Im confused.

On-wheel balancing advantages:
• The machine is capable to ram-up the wheel speed up to 120km/h. Thus, solving the high speed vibration problem.
• Beside balancing the wheel, on-wheel balancing also balance up the imperfection of wheel hub, brake rotor and drive shaft.

Disadvantages:
• Put stress on final drive differential due to one side of the wheel is not moving.
• The process may leave some minor scratch marks on tyre sidewall.
• ABS warning light will illuminate due to the system detected some wheel is not moving.

 

Guys, looks like we are not alone.

And it's a wonder that people are still willing to entrust their hard earned rides to shops like these.

If you know any friends who takes care of their cars, and wheels. Tell them

If you have any friends or acquaintances with supercars or expensive cars like BMWs or MERCs, etc.

TELL THEM.

Your friends/acquaintances may even thank you for keeping a look out for them.

Do not have the typical mindset of thinking "Oh, maybe it won't happen to me.. It just happened to some random guy on the internet forums." .. Well, you may be that unlucky one too. So will you risk your time, emotion and money?
