1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
2. Remove the wheel that needs to be balanced using a lug wrench.
3. Place the wheel on a wheel balancing machine, ensuring that it is securely mounted.
4. Spin the wheel and wait for it to come to a stop. The machine will indicate the location and amount of imbalance.
5. Attach wheel weights to the designated spots on the wheel to counterbalance the imbalance. Use a hammer or a wheel weight tool to secure the weights in place.
6. Spin the wheel again to check if the imbalance has been corrected. Make any necessary adjustments to the wheel weights until the wheel spins smoothly without any wobbling.
7. Once the wheel is properly balanced, reinstall it onto the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts in a crisscross pattern to ensure even tightening.
8. Repeat the process for any other wheels that need to be balanced.
9. Test drive the vehicle to ensure that the wheel balancing has been successful and that there are no vibrations or wobbling at high speeds.

Procedure of Wheel Imbalance
1. Gather Necessary Equipment:
- Wheel balancer
- Wheel weights
- Tire pressure gauge
- Lug wrench or impact gun
2. Inspect and Prepare the Wheel:
- Ensure the tire is properly inflated.
- Remove the wheel from the vehicle.
- Clean the mounting surface of the wheel and hub.
3. Mount the Wheel on the Balancer:
- Place the wheel on the balancer spindle and tighten the lug nuts.
- Ensure the wheel is centered and spinning freely.
4. Calibrate the Balancer:
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions for calibrating the balancer.
- This ensures accurate weight measurements.
5. Spin the Wheel:
- Start the balancer and spin the wheel at a predetermined speed (typically 100 rpm).
- Observe the display on the balancer, which will indicate any imbalance.
6. Identify the Imbalance:
- The balancer will display the amount and position of the imbalance (e.g., 5 grams at 90 degrees).
7. Add Balancing Weights:
- Place balancing weights on the wheel in the designated locations and amounts.
- Weights are typically placed on the inner or outer rim, depending on the type of imbalance.
8. Rebalance the Wheel:
- Re-spin the wheel on the balancer to ensure the imbalance has been corrected.
9. Repeat Steps 5-8 if Necessary:
- If the imbalance is still present, repeat steps 5-8 until the wheel is balanced within the specified tolerance.
10. Install the Wheel on the Vehicle:
- Reinstall the wheel on the vehicle and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer's specifications.
11. Check Tire Pressure:
- Use a tire pressure gauge to verify the tire pressure is still correct.
Additional Tips:
- Use high-quality balancing weights that adhere securely to the wheel.
- Avoid using excessive amounts of weight, as this can cause other problems.
- Regularly check and adjust wheel balance, especially after tire rotations or new tire installation.
- If the balancer detects a significant imbalance that cannot be corrected with rim weights, it may indicate an underlying issue with the tire or wheel.
