The vibration is persistent – it shakes you to your core as it travels through the driver’s seat and the floorboard. As your hands clutch the steering wheel of your Ford, your knuckles grow whiter with each tremor. Every high-speed adventure leaves you feeling weak in the knees.
The time has come for a wheel balancing at Skaha Ford in BC.
Wheel balancing is an important automotive service that evenly distributes the weight around the entire circumference of the tire. Everyday wear and tear contributes to a tire imbalance – and the only way to correct the issue is with a wheel balancing service. Failure to do so will result in uncomfortable vibrations, wobbling, hopping and premature tire wear.
To ensure precisely equal weight distribution throughout the tires, our technicians use a specialized balancing machine, which takes measurements to pinpoint lighter and heavier areas that contribute to an imbalance. Small wheel weights are added to the rim to account for any weight differences.
