Symptoms

Vehicle Shakes

If the vehicle shakes, especially on smooth roads, there may be an uneven weight distribution by the wheels. If the rate of vibration increases with the speed, the wheels may be out of balance.

Tires Wear Unevenly

If you notice that one tire is wearing faster than the others, that wheel may be bearing more weight than the others.
