Does Your Steering Wheel Shake at 50, 70, or 100 kph?
If you notice your steering wheel shaking or vibrating at certain speeds, it’s a clear sign that your wheels need balancing.
Wheel balancing ensures that your tyres and wheels spin smoothly and evenly. Without it, your wheels can wobble as they turn, causing discomfort, extra fuel consumption, and unnecessary wear on your tyres and suspension.
Why Wheel Balancing Matters
Proper wheel balancing is not just about comfort – it’s an essential part of your vehicle’s ongoing maintenance. The benefits include:
- Improved Handling – enjoy a smoother, safer drive.
- No More Speed Judder – eliminate vibrations and shaking at higher speeds.
- Fuel Savings – reduce rolling resistance and improve fuel efficiency.
- Extended Tyre Life – avoid uneven tyre wear and costly premature replacements.
Simply put, having your wheels balanced saves you money and keeps your driving experience safe and comfortable.
