Wheel Balancing - Ewhurst, Gatwick & Cranleigh

Wheel balancing is one of those jobs that makes an immediate, noticeable difference -particularly at motorway speeds. When a wheel and tyre assembly is out of balance, small weight imbalances cause vibration that travels through the suspension and into the steering wheel. It’s uncomfortable, it accelerates wear on tyres and suspension components, and it’s entirely preventable.

At CCM, wheel balancing is carried out as standard when fitting new tyres, and as a standalone service when vibration or steering wheel shimmy suggests a balance issue.

Signs of a wheel balance problem:

  • Vibration through the steering wheel, typically between 50 and 70mph
  • Vibration felt through the seat or floor at speed
  • Uneven or patchy tyre wear
  • Steering wheel shimmy that worsens at certain speeds

What the process involves

Each wheel is removed and mounted on a balancing machine, which spins it and identifies where and how much weight needs to be added to bring it into balance. Small weights are attached to the rim at the correct position, and the wheel is re-checked until it meets the required standard.

When to balance your wheels:

  • Every time new tyres are fitted
  • After a tyre repair or tyre rotation
  • If vibration develops at speed
  • After any significant kerb or pothole impact
  • As part of a routine maintenance check

Balancing vs alignment

Wheel balancing and wheel alignment are related but different – balancing addresses vibration caused by weight distribution, while alignment addresses the angles at which the wheels meet the road. Both are worth checking regularly.
