Road Force Wheel Balancing in Sequim, WA

Eliminate Vibrations and Restore a Smooth Ride

If you’re experiencing steering wheel vibrations or an uncomfortable ride at certain speeds, your vehicle may need road force wheel balancing. At Auto Depot in Sequim, our advanced road force balancing service pinpoints and corrects imperfections in your tire and wheel assembly to restore the comfort, safety, and performance you expect.

Our Reliable technicians use state-of-the-art road force balancers to simulate real-world driving conditions, measure tire and wheel variances, and resolve hidden issues that standard balancing cannot detect.

What Is Road Force Wheel Balancing?

Road force wheel balancing uses a specialized machine that applies pressure to your tire and wheel while it spins, simulating the weight of the road beneath it. This allows us to:

• Detect hard spots, flat spots, and imperfections in the tire or wheel
• Identify mismatches between the high point of the tire and the low point of the rim
• Correct balance issues that traditional spin balancing may miss
• Reduce or eliminate vibrations for a smoother, more stable ride

By match-mounting the tire’s “high spot” to the wheel’s “low spot,” we optimize the assembly and minimize vibration across all driving speeds.

Road Force Balancing vs. Wheel Alignment: What's the Difference?

These services are often confused, but they serve different purposes:

• Wheel alignment adjusts your suspension angles (camber, toe, caster) to ensure tires meet the road properly.
• Road force balancing addresses rotational imbalance and radial force variation in the tire-wheel assembly.

If your vehicle pulls to one side, you likely need an alignment. If your steering wheel shakes or vibrates, road force balancing may be the answer.

Why Is My Steering Wheel Vibrating?

You may notice vibrations when:

• Driving at speeds between 45–65 mph
• Turning your steering wheel
• Braking at higher speeds
• After installing new tires or wheels

Common causes include:

• Unbalanced tires
• Uneven tire wear
• Bent wheels
• Manufacturing defects in tires
• Improper tire mounting
