AV-SCANNER / Service function guides / Steering and suspension
This guide covers the complete service function of wheel balancing and vibration diagnosis for motorists and working mechanics who need to trace vibration at speed. It explains how the tire and wheel assembly interacts with the suspension and steering systems, when balancing is required, and how to prepare a vehicle for accurate measurement. The step-by-step procedure details both static and dynamic balancing on modern equipment, including road-force analysis where available, and shows how to verify the result with a test drive. Readers will be able to identify imbalance-related vibrations, perform a professional wheel balance, and troubleshoot persistent complaints across passenger cars, light trucks, and performance vehicles.
Guidance is general and covers many makes. Exact procedures and values vary by model, so confirm them in the factory service information for your vehicle.
