Wheel Balancing in Bracknell, Slough & throughout Berkshire

Wheel balancing is an essential and often overlooked element of car maintenance.  

If your wheel balancing is off it can cause unnatural vibrations in your steering wheel, seat or floor pans.  

Poor wheel balancing can also cause premature and inconsistent tyre, suspension and steering component wear so it is essential for the long term health of your vehicle that it gets sorted.   

Signs of Wheel imbalance

Generally the first sign of poor wheel balance is when the steering wheel involuntarily shakes and wobbles when you go above a certain speed.  

In older car models these vibrations were hard to notice as cars where heavier and could disguise the issue better, but today's cars are lighter and if you have an issue you should be able to notice and feel it.  

Even if you have just the slightest feeling that your car is showing signs of wheel imbalance have it checked by one our fully qualified and experienced mechanics here at Mobile Tyre Fit in Berkshire.  

With road safety and vehicle health it's vitally important to be safe rather than sorry.
