Did You Know? - Difference between Spooring and Balancing

Spooring and balancing are two different things, even though their function is the same: maintaining the vehicle’s undercarriage for a comfortable drive. Additionally, both are crucial for the vehicle's stability and steering control. 

What are the differences? Here's the explanation!

Tire spooring is the process of adjusting a vehicle's wheels to their original position. Over time, impacts and loads can change the wheel angle, affecting steering alignment and driving stability. 

Balancing, on the other hand, involves distributing the weight of a vehicle's wheels evenly to prevent vibrations and noise during rotation. Uneven weight distribution can occur due to factors like tire wear and rim damage. Both spooring and balancing require professional equipment and expertise to ensure accurate results.

If your vehicle experiences symptoms like steering wheel vibration, heaviness, difficulty driving straight, undercarriage problems, or misaligned tires, it's likely in need of spooring and balancing.

Hopefully, the information above can enrich your understanding of the importance of the difference between vehicle spooring and balancing.
