Question 1

What is road force balancing and do I need it?

Road force balancing uses a Hunter Road Force Elite machine to simulate real road conditions by pressing a roller against your tire while it spins. This detects force variations, runout, and tire stiffness issues that standard balancing misses. If you feel vibrations at highway speeds after a regular balance, road force balancing is the solution. American Fusion Wheels offers road force balancing for all vehicles at our Shawnee, KS shop serving the entire Kansas City metro area. Call (913) 291-2027 to schedule your road force balance.

Do you need an alignment after installing a lift kit?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a wheel alignment is absolutely required after installing a lift kit or leveling kit. Lifting your truck or SUV changes the suspension geometry, which shifts the camber, caster, and toe angles.

What is the difference between road force balancing and regular balancing?

Accepted Answer

Regular balancing adds weights to correct static imbalance.
