Road Safety authorities have given much attention to vehicle maintenance and aspects such as tyre safety. When replacing your tyres you will often also have the wheels balanced. Even if we know what wheel balancing means – do we know why it is dangerous to drive with wheels that are not balanced?
It is important that we are able to detect when wheels might be out of balance.
The symptoms of a wheel that is out of balance are:
Wheel alignment is the process whereby the wheels are aligned to point in line with the direction of rotation. This is done to ensure that the tires are calibrated to 'point' straight ahead. Proper wheel alignment makes a vehicle steer easily and allows tires to wear evenly.
Alignment should be checked every 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever occurs first, unless you know that you have hit a pothole, or some other object, in which case it should be done immediately as a precaution.
At Maxpro, we provide all of this services to perfection.
