VIBRATIONS

What to look for when vibration is a problem!

Installing the recommended amount of Ultraseal will not create a vibration or balance problem. Pre-existing balance or vibration problems should be corrected prior to the installation of Ultraseal, as they may be amplified.

Excessive wheel vibrations can pull Ultraseal off the inner tread surface and may actually increase the intensity of the vibration.

It is important to recognize that not all vehicle vibrations are related to tire balance. Many originate from other sources such as steering, suspension, shock absorbers and tire irregularities. Below are some causes for…

Excessive Vibration (Up-down movement)

Check for the following:
Out-of-round tire or rim
Excessive flat spots on tires
Worn-out shock absorbers
Shifted belts
Tread separation

Excessive Lateral Movement (Side-to-side wobble)

Check for the following:
Loose or worn out front-end components
Improperly adjusted/loose or damaged wheel bearings
Shifted belts
Bent wheels/rims and axles
