If the wheels are out of balance, the driver will feel a pounding or shaking through the steering wheel. When a wheel is out of balance, it will cause the tire to wobble or bounce as it rotates. This imbalance can be due to uneven wear of the tire, a heavy spot on the tire or wheel, or damage to the wheel. The vibration is typically felt at higher speeds and can become more pronounced as the speed of the vehicle increases. It's important to get the wheels balanced to prevent this issue for a smooth driving experience and to avoid excessive wear on other vehicle components.
