Precision wheel balancing at Bush Tyres centres

Article written by Bush Tyres

Introducing the Haweka Quick Plate for precision wheelbalancing.

At Bush Tyres we continually strive to offer our customersthe best ways to improve our service and standards, no matter how small thechanges and implementations maybe. It’s for these reasons we have introducedthe Haweka Quick Plate to optimise balancing car wheels.

When balancing a wheel and tyre it’s best to locate the wheel on the balancer in the same way it is fitted on the vehicle. The Haweka QuickPlate enables us to do this by locating the wheel via the wheels stud holes. Mounting the wheel in this way applies equal pressure to the stud holes aswell as locating the wheel on the spigot correctly, therefor optimising the centring of the wheel onthe balancer by mimicking the way the wheel is fitted to the car.

 

As an added bonus, there is no chance of the face of the wheel beingmarked/damaged, unlike with some conventional methods of wheel balancing where a ‘pressurecup’ attachment is used to push against the face of the wheel to clamp the wheel to the balancer.

We currently have the Hawke Quick Plate at our Pirelli Performance Centres in Horncastle, Spalding and Beverley.

For more information or to have your wheel balanced please give them a call.
