Wheel Balancing

[D14 AYS]

Can anyone point me in the right direction, wheel balancing in Surrey that does it with the wheels on the car.

Thanks all

Why do you want to do it with the wheels on the car??

I think it's because some people believe that you are not only balancing wheels but instead you are balancing play in the driveshaft aswell so this should eliminate any 'wobbling'.

I have never done it myself so I can't really speak from experience but the only time my wheels ever wobbled after being balanced was when I drove over a pothole and slightly buckled the front near side alloy.

Balancing a wheel on a car has no benefit.
You need to balance the wheel and tyre off the car and get it perfect (i.e. less than a 5 gram weight out).

If you then have some sort of wobble when driving the car it is because of a problem. Balancing the wheels on the car is just masking the problem (which will get worse).

I have been told that this is the best way to get a car properly balanced,there must be a benefit otherwise these companys wouldn't exist mind you i havn't found one yet
