These Are Dangers Of Unbalanced Wheels
There are times that we caused accidents by ourselves and simply because we refused to obey simple instructions and guidelines.
Tires are the real necessity for cars and so, therefore, there is a need to take serious precautions and attention to details when it comes to tires. Imbalanced wheels could cause your car to shake, sometimes violently.
Unbalanced tires have sent lots of drivers to early graves, some, maybe because they felt they are the mater of the road and some are not aware of the dangers associated with it.
Even if we know what wheel balancing means – do we know why it is dangerous to drive with wheels that are not balanced?
These are some of the dangers of driving with unbalanced wheels:
• Wheels that are not balanced or are out of balance generally produce a vibration that is uncomfortable to drive in and negatively affects the handling of the vehicle.
• Unbalanced wheels place severe stresses and strains on the wheel bearings and suspension components.
• Steering components can also be damaged and all the parts may fail prematurely in extreme cases.
• Unbalanced wheels result in premature wearing of suspension and steering components, rotating parts and tyres.
• Unbalanced wheels increase the need for additional energy and increase fuel consumption.
• Ignoring the symptoms can be dangerous and expensive
