Wheel balancing

The main signs of imbalance:
- decrease in maneuverability;
- strange noise;
- vibration is observed in the steering wheel;
- twitching of the body at high speed;
- tread demolition;
- at a speed of more than 60 km / h, the beating of the steering wheel is felt;
- uncomfortable ride.
Types of Wheel Imbalance
Dynamic
Most common with wide tires. The main factor in the malfunction is the discrepancy between the axis of inertia and rotation.

The steering wheel rattles and beats on the hands, and the car itself throws to the sides at a speed of more than 40 km / h.
Static
With a static imbalance, the uneven distribution of mass along the axis of rotation is expressed.
