Professional 3D wheel balancing and steering vibration fix on the South Coast

Unlike wheel alignment, which addresses the angle of your tyres, wheel balancing ensures that weight is distributed evenly around the entire circumference of the tyre and wheel assembly. Our South Coast facility uses advanced 3D wheel balancing technology to eliminate steering wheel vibration and prevent premature tyre wear caused by heavy spots in the tyre.

Signs your wheels are out of balance

South Coast drivers often face challenging road conditions that can knock wheels out of balance. You should visit an Ubuntu Tyres fitment centre if you notice:

• Steering wheel vibration at high speeds (typically between 100km/h and 120km/h).
• Unusual floorboard or seat vibrations.
• Rapid or uneven tread wear patterns5.
• A noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency.
  
  

Our in-house precision balancing process

At Ubuntu Tyres, we provide professional in-house wheel balancing as part of our core service offering66. Our technicians use high-precision machinery to identify weight imbalances and apply corrective weights, ensuring a smooth ride from Amanzimtoti to Port Edward.

What is the difference between wheel balancing and alignment?

Wheel balancing corrects weight distribution within the wheel to stop steering vibration, while wheel alignment (which we can arrange on request) adjusts the angles of the tyres to ensure they are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the road.
