The A4123 Birmingham New Road dual carriageway between Wolverhampton and M5 junction 2 is where a Dudley car first shakes with an unbalanced wheel, and our van balances it on the drive.
Dudley's hills keep town driving slow, but the A4123 Birmingham New Road skirting the town and the run down to M5 junction 2 are open dual carriageway, and that is where a wheel out of balance betrays itself. The steering starts to quiver or the seat trembles. Steep A459 streets up to Sedgley and Upper Gornal, and kerbs around the Castle Gate leisure park, are typical places for an alloy to shed its weight.
Balancing belongs with fitting new tyres and with any puncture repair done from inside to BS AU 159. It is also due if a weight has plainly dropped off the rim or the wheel has struck a kerb hard, say on a tight Netherton turning. Russells Hall Hospital staff on long shifts may notice it on the A4123 home. Tell us where the vibration comes through and the address, and the price is confirmed during that call.
A level drive in Sedgley, Netherton, Priory or Woodside, or a marked bay at Russells Hall Hospital with the parking company's agreement. Steep hill streets in the Gornals need a flat stretch; Castle Gate is private.

About wheel balancing nationwide → · Wheel balancing on the Dudley page
Outside your house in Priory, Kates Hill or Dudley Wood, the car is jacked on level ground and the wheel lifted across to the machine on board. Spinning it shows exactly where the imbalance lies, correcting weights are fixed to the alloy, a second run confirms the reading, and the wheel goes back at its stated torque. A pull towards the verge on Stourbridge Road means alignment, which garages handle and we do not.
Dudley wheels balanced on your drive, so the A4123 feels smooth again.
