Mount & Road ForceWhat Is Road Force Wheel Balancing?
If you experience steering wheel vibrations or a bumpy ride, it’s time to consult our experts. Road force balancing not only addresses vibrations but also aligns your tires to ensure that the tire's high spots match the wheel's low spots, giving you a ride as smooth as when you first drove off the lot.
The Difference Between Wheel Alignment and Road Force Wheel Balancing
Many drivers confuse wheel alignment with road force wheel balancing. Wheel alignment involves adjusting the angles of your wheels so they sit perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. In contrast, road force balancing focuses on balancing the weight distribution of your tires, which is crucial for achieving a smooth ride. If you’re experiencing vibrations while driving, road force balancing might be the solution you need to enhance your vehicle’s performance.
Understanding Vibration Issues
Persistent vibrations can stem from several factors, even after standard tire balancing. Tire and wheel manufacturing, while precise, can lead to variations in weight, stiffness, and balance. These inconsistencies are known as lateral or radial runout, which can create high or low points in the construction of your wheels and tires. Additionally, varying stiffness in tires, referred to as force variation, can contribute to noticeable ride vibrations.
If you’ve balanced your tires and still experience ride issues, it’s likely due to these underlying factors. Our road force balancer helps diagnose the exact cause of the problem, allowing us to provide effective solutions tailored to your vehicle’s needs.
The Process of Match Mounting
To combat issues like lateral or radial runout and force variation, we employ a technique known as match mounting. A road force tire balancer uses a load roller to simulate real-road conditions, gathering critical data on the overall uniformity of the wheel and tire assembly. This detailed assessment measures both force variation and runout, offering insights into how well your tire and wheel function together.
By analyzing the data, we can reposition your tires for optimal performance, ensuring a balanced and smooth ride. This service goes beyond standard balancing, providing a more comprehensive solution for drivers who demand the best from their vehicles.
