wheel balancing vs alignment

[badkuk]

Hi All!

Ano po ung pagkakaiba ng alignment tsaka balancing? While we're at it, saan ba ok magpa align/balance? Oks lang ba kung ung mano -mano type, i.e. no computer-controlled equipment, ung tali lang ang gamit?

Wheel alignment would greatly depend on the whole underchassis parts that will holds your wheels and tires. While balancing is dependent only for each tire balanced.

Mas malamang magkamali ang sukat pag tali lang, di tulad ng computerized alignment precised upto the last millimeter.

Yung purpose ng wheel balancing is to make sure that the wheel and tire package is. .... "balanced" :-) Hindi kasi perfectly round ang wheels and tires so yung balancing is done to make sure na at high rotational speeds, yung tires and wheels do not veer left or right. Bale yung angular momentum nung wheel must be at 90 degrees sa direction of motion. Yung balancing is done by adding lead weights sa wheel. Madaming service centers that can do wheel balancing, for starters, try your nearest servitek outlet.

in short:

balancing : limited to the wheels only
alignment: for the front steering system


hehehe. meron pa bang nagaalign na tali pa rin ang gamit?

[Ungas]

Due to some vehicle's traits, even sedans can be aligned with 4 wheels.



Alam ko sa mga probinsya na lang yung natitirang nag-aalign ng lubid.

you can get wheel alignment done at rapide for 1200, servitek for 550, shell stations for 660, or sprint in banawe for 250.

guess where i had mine done

dagdag lang, wheel balancing will cost you 120-150 per tire depende sa weights at sa location ng shop...

always go for computerized wheel alignment...kapag Php 500 reasonable na yung price...

Me isang malapit na ????? gas station kasi dun sa amin...ayun, lubid nga daw ang gamit. 50 bucks!

Di ko na banggitin ung gas station...baka lagyan ako ng h2o sa susunod na mag gas ako B).

Salamat sa mga nag reply..sabi kc ng mekaniko d daw pantay ang kain ng drum brakes sa likod...and recently, parang kakaiba ung tunog sa rear wheels pag nabe break ako.

[Ungas]

Kung brakes ang di pantay di mo na kailangan ng 4 wheel alignment, just minor brake adjustments if you have rear drum brakes. Higpitan mo ng kaunti kung san side mas makapal ang brake shoes.

lubid ang gamit sa pag align?!?! okay ah...hehehe.

anyway, I always had a four-wheel alignment.

yung 250 sa sprint, hunter ang ginagamit nila, computerized yun. same equipment as servitek's 550.
