Wheel Weights

Wheel weights are small, metal objects that are attached to a wheel to balance it. They are typically made of lead or steel, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Wheel weights are used to compensate for the uneven distribution of weight on a wheel, which can cause vibrations and steering problems.

How do wheel weights work?

When a wheel is rotating, the force of gravity causes the heavier side of the wheel to move down. This can cause the wheel to wobble, which can lead to vibrations and steering problems. Wheel weights are used to counteract this force by adding weight to the lighter side of the wheel. This helps to balance the wheel and prevent it from wobbling.

Types of wheel weights

There are two main types of wheel weights: adhesive weights and clip-on weights. Adhesive weights are attached to the wheel with a strong adhesive, while clip-on weights are attached with a metal clip. Adhesive weights are typically used on aluminum wheels, while clip-on weights are typically used on steel wheels.

How to install wheel weights

Installing wheel weights is a relatively simple task, but it is important to do it correctly to ensure that the wheels are properly balanced. To install adhesive weights, you will need a clean, dry surface to work on, a hairdryer, and the wheel weights themselves.

  1. Clean the area where you will be applying the weights with a clean, dry cloth.
  2. Heat the adhesive on the back of the weights with a hairdryer until it is warm and pliable.
  3. Press the weights onto the wheel in the appropriate location.
  4. Allow the adhesive to cool and cure for at least 24 hours before driving the vehicle.

Installing clip-on weights is even easier. Simply align the weights with the spokes of the wheel and snap them into place.

Conclusion

Wheel weights are an important part of maintaining the safety and performance of your vehicle. By properly balancing your wheels, you can help to prevent vibrations and steering problems, and ensure that your vehicle is handling properly.
