Wheel balancing
in Brackley.

Shaking at speed in Brackley? Balance the wheels where the car is parked.

Heading out of Brackley usually means the A43 bypass, south to the M40 at Ardley and on to Oxford, or north towards Silverstone and Northampton. Once on it, a wheel carrying uneven weight turns a smooth drive into a steady shudder through the steering or the seat. The A422 to Banbury and junction 11 gives the same test. In town, parking beside the kerbs of the High Street and Market Place, or scraping one on a Radstone Fields corner, can dislodge a rim weight.

Any tyre mounted on a rim, whether brand new or freshly repaired, needs balancing before use. The same goes for a Brackley wheel missing a weight or recently knocked. Parked on your Brackley drive, the wheel comes off, is mounted on the van's own balancing machine, spun and weighted, then goes back on at the correct torque. Say which corner vibrates, what size the tyres are and where the car stands; the NN13 price gets agreed on that phone call.

Balancing is not alignment

Balancing is about mass, not direction. If a Brackley car pulls towards the verge on the A43, or eats the inside edge of its front tyres, alignment is the likely fix, and that is a garage job Rescue Tyres does not do. Bent rims, out-of-round tyres and worn suspension parts all cause shakes that weights cannot hide. When the balancer finds the wheel itself is fine, the fitter will say so and point you towards the likely cause.
