EgunMogaji: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.

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. 2 Likes |

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. M.L.papka 4 Likes 1 Share |

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. |
Re: What Is D Difference Between Alignment And Wheel Balancing by AreaFada2: 8:12am On Feb 02, 2018 |
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. |

akunaedemoses: 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. |
Re: What Is D Difference Between Alignment And Wheel Balancing by kokostick(m): 9:49am On Feb 02, 2018 |
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 |
Re: What Is D Difference Between Alignment And Wheel Balancing by IAM25: 10:01am On Feb 02, 2018 |
dmltoyin: 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. |
