It's possible for the car to pull to one side or for the tire to wear unevenly. This can happen, among other reasons, due to alignment and balancing problems caused by poor road and highway maintenance.
Find out when is the best time to align and balance your vehicle.
- It is advisable to do both the balancing and the alignment every 5.000 kilometers driven.
- When a tire needs to be changed, take the opportunity to check alignment and balance.
- Slight or severe wheel shake may indicate, among other things, that it is time to realign the car.
- If the car "goes" somewhere with the steering wheel loose or when the brakes are applied, that indicates that the alignment is not in perfect condition.
- It is common for drivers to reposition their tires. Every time that is done, it is advised to redo the rocking.
- Any and all repairs to the tires can cause a change in their structure and, consequently, affect the balance.
- Balancing only the front wheels many times does not end the problem. Ideally, do it on both the front and rear wheels.
Both external factors (holes, burro hills, metal devices inserted in the asphalt, small collisions) and internal factors (poor brake maintenance, excess load, chassis, axles, among others) directly or indirectly influence proper operation. alignment and balancing.
