Tire Balancing in Scarborough
If your steering wheel buzzes at 90–110 km/h, balancing is usually the first thing to check.
Signs your vehicle needs this service
- Vibration in the steering wheel at highway speed
- Vibration through the seat or floor rather than the wheel
- Cupped or scalloped tread wear
- A wheel weight fell off
What's included at CANPAK AUTO
- Each wheel spun and measured on a balancing machine
- Weights applied to correct both static and dynamic imbalance
- Wheel and tire checked for bends, flat spots or separation
- Pressures set and wheels torqued
Why this matters
Even a small imbalance turns into a repeated bounce hundreds of times per minute at highway speed. That vibration wears tires, wheel bearings and suspension bushings, so fixing it early saves parts later.

- 2
Balance each wheel and inspect for damage
- 3
Recheck on a road test before returning the vehicle

Tire Balancing — questions we hear often
Balancing or alignment—what do I need?
Vibration at speed usually means balance. Pulling to one side or uneven wear across the tread usually means alignment. We will confirm which it is.
Do new tires need balancing?
Yes. Balancing is part of every tire installation we do.
Can a bent rim be balanced?
Not properly. If a wheel is bent, we will show you and discuss repair or replacement options.
