Mobile wheel balancing in Port Ellen

Symptoms of an unbalanced wheel
Vibration that rises with speed and peaks around 50–70 mph is the classic symptom. It can also show up as a wobble in the steering wheel or seat. A balance check is a quick first step before chasing more expensive causes.
How we balance on site
Each wheel comes off in turn, goes onto the mobile balancer, and is set with the correct weights. We refit, torque to spec, and re-check the road feel before we leave.
