Good day.

Hope you know that some Google results points back to nairaland
This is because they believe that nairaland like quora would have some of the best answers
Unfortunately people like you thinks Google manufactures answers. No! They only collate best answers from platforms like nairaland

Very unnecessary

Why not just tell us the difference with same strength you used in typing this?

Wheel alignment has to do with adjusting Caster and Camber angles on the wheels, so the wheels would be parallel and perfectly perpendicular to the ground while wheel balancing has to do with ensuring efficient spin of the wheel by checking for points with excess loading on the wheels and compensating for this by balancing with an equal load on the opposite side of this excessive loading..... abeg fellow mechanics, u fit correct me if I Don make any mistake cos I no too dey do wheels for workshop. And guys, which of una Don try remove nozzle of Nissan Frontier for cleaning, I sure say the designer been skip design classes I swear.

Wheel balance is making sure the tire laps very well with the wheel to avoid one side of the circumference heavier than the other
Alignment is setting the entire car tire/wheel as straight as the steering to avoid sideways movements which eats up the tires.
They are both very important to every car.

Wheel alignment and Wheel Balancing are two totally different things, but many people often get them confused. In a nutshell, wheel alignment consists of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. The purpose of these adjustments is maximum tire life and a vehicle that tracks straight and true when driving along a straight and level road. Wheel Balancing, on the other hand allows the tires and wheels to spin without causing any vibrations. This is accomplished by checking for any heavy spots on the wheel-tire combination and compensating for it by placing a measured lead weight on the opposite site of the wheel from where the heavy spot is.

Kai but bross this your explanation dey like one kind physics oh, you for kukuma add equation make we know say Na formula remain na

Can somebody pls tell me d difference and benefits of doing alignment and wheel balancing!

Alignment is for shaft, joint etc while wheel balancing ensure your tyres are of equal weight, good condition etc

I hope you don't represent your family in public

Many have smart phones yet they underutilize them, Google has made research so easy for those who know how to use it.Analogue generation is fading away digital generation is taking over.

skyfada:
Wheel balancing is done on the tire wheels to minimize tire vibrations while alignment is done through the tyrod to straighten the tire position in alignment with the steering wheels.

Correct,Tie-rod not tyrod sir....

I've been using my car for 3years now but I can't differentiate between them even though I have seen them do It severally.

Can be confusing to differentiate. Alignment is to ensure wheel is straight relative to the ground and steering wheel. Balancing is to equally distribute weight/load so that spinning is smooth. I remember a Mechanic using pidgin English to explain it long ago.
Obviously with more driving experience you might notice when both need attention.

That's a lie. A lot of people drive for years without knowing the difference.

Alignment is done to align the tires; while wheel balancing is done to balance the wheels

Lolz, madman

Can somebody pls tell me d difference and benefits of doing alignment and wheel balancing!

Wheel balancing done to make your tire weight balance on the wheel. It done on separate machine outside. If not balance the Vulcan go add Small small zinc metal on the rim edge so the tire weight go balance.your car fit they vibrates

While wheel alignment is to make sure your wheel is fix at same angle the car manufacturer say you suppose put am. If not you car go dey pull go one side. You no fit commit hand for steering for like 2 min or less.
Your tires go chop one side especially that side its pulling to.

wheel balancing means balancing each individual wheel so that it rolls properly without wobble and vibrations


wheel alignment concerns making sure all four wheels are rolling together in sync. for example one isnt pointing to the left and the other to the right. Usually adjustments are made on the front 2 wheels.

consider wheel balancing like 1st making sure a dancer can dance well and wheel alignment like making sure 4 dancers are choreographed and can perform a routine in sync.

Alignment is when u decide to align what is ment for you,while wheel balancing is when you choose to balance your wheel or unbalance your wheel.

As a mechanicAL engineering student, the main difference between alignment and balancing is that alignment means adjusting the angles of wheels to make them perpendicular to the ground.

While balancing means making the wheels capable of spinning without causing any vibrations. Hope it helps

You're More theoretical. Correct though, but you don't adjust the angles of the wheels. You only adjust the tie-rod to get the parallel gage, I.e, for wheel Alignment.

Copy paste... nice one, bt don't forget to add source.
