Wheel Balancing – Waterlooville

Wheel balancing is one of those jobs that makes an immediate, noticeable difference. A vibration through the steering wheel, particularly at motorway speeds, is the classic symptom of an unbalanced wheel, and it’s a problem that only gets worse over time if left unaddressed, contributing to tyre wear, stress on suspension components, and an uncomfortable drive.

At Collison Motoring Services, we carry out wheel balancing on all makes and models as a standalone service or alongside tyre fitting and rotation.

Signs your wheels may need balancing:

Steering wheel vibration, especially at higher speeds
Uneven or patchy tyre wear
Vibration felt through the seat or floor
Increased road noise

How does wheel balancing work?

Each wheel and tyre assembly is mounted on a balancing machine, which spins it and identifies any heavy spots. Small weights are then attached to the rim to counteract any imbalance, bringing the assembly into precise equilibrium. It’s a quick process, and the difference is usually felt immediately.

Wheels should be balanced whenever new tyres are fitted, and it’s worth checking the balance if vibration develops between tyre changes. We also recommend combining wheel balancing with a wheel alignment check if you haven’t had one recently, as the two together give the most complete picture of your wheel and tyre setup.

We carry out wheel balancing for drivers from Waterlooville and the surrounding area, including Fareham, Gosport, and Havant.

As a Bosch Service network member, a HEVRA-approved EV and hybrid specialist, and an IMI-affiliated garage, we’re independently verified to meet recognised standards across the board. For you, that means confidence in the quality of the work, without having to just take our word for it.
