Tire and Wheel Assembly Balancer Calibration
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Chevrolet Spark. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Tire and wheel balancers can drift out of calibration over time, or can become inaccurate as a result of heavy use. There will likely not be any visual evidence that a calibration problem exists. If a balancer is not calibrated within specifications and a tire and wheel assembly is balanced on that machine, the assembly may actually be imbalanced.
Tire and wheel assembly balancer calibration should be checked approximately every 2 weeks, if the machine is used frequently and/or whenever the balance readings are questionable.
