At Dynamic Balancing Technologies in Grand Rapids, we believe every smooth mile starts with perfect wheel harmony that aligns with your vehicle’s design specifications. By simulating true driving loads in our state-of-the-art facility, we uncover hidden vertical and lateral imbalances that slip past static methods, then apply targeted counterweights and perform iterative spin tests until every wheel spins flawlessly. Experience immediate gains in fuel efficiency, extended tire life, and less stress on suspension components, supported by transparent service summaries and optional fleet management programs.
What Is Dynamic Balancing and Why You Need It
At Dynamic Balancing Technologies, our motion-based calibration uses road-force balancers and precision sensors to capture multi-axis imbalance rather than only up-and-down wobble. Unlike traditional methods that only adjust static weight distribution, our process neutralizes centrifugal and side-load forces that develop at speed, delivering smoother handling, reduced cabin noise, and extended tire, suspension, and drivetrain life.
Why Static Balancing Falls Short
Static balancing treats each wheel as if it were a fixed weight, correcting only vertical misalignment while ignoring side-to-side oscillations that arise under real driving loads. These uncorrected discrepancies can manifest as recurring steering shimmy, patchy tire tread wear, and distracting cabin rumble. Modern low-profile tires, performance suspensions, and electronic steering systems demand a depth of precision that static procedures simply can’t provide. At Dynamic Balancing Technologies, we bridge this gap by simulating true road-force conditions, detecting multi-axis imbalances, and applying targeted corrections. The result is noticeably smoother handling and longer-lasting tires and suspension components.
Our Full Suite of Dynamic Services
Wheel & Tire Balancing
At Dynamic Balancing Technologies, we mount each wheel assembly on high-speed balancers that replicate real driving forces—identifying even minute vertical and lateral weight shifts, delivering a smoother, safer ride and maximizing the lifespan of tires and suspension parts.
Rotor & Brake Refinement
Dynamic Balancing Technologies goes beyond wheel work by fine-tuning brake rotors—eliminating pulsation through targeted mass adjustments, resulting in smooth, reliable deceleration and longer-lasting braking components.
Driveshaft & Axle Equilibrium
Our specialists measure and balance rotating drive components across several planes, isolating and correcting every wobble, ensuring every drive component spins true, for comfort and durability across all speeds and loads.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is dynamic balancing different from basic static balancing?
Dynamic balancing simulates true road forces—catching both vertical and lateral weight shifts—while static only corrects one plane.
Does the added cost of dynamic balancing pay off?
The small upfront fee prevents tire cupping, steering shimmy, and suspension wear—saving road force balancing you repairs down the road.
When do I need to rebalance my wheels?
We recommend every 5,000–7,000 miles or immediately after a hard pothole hit.
Can you perform dynamic balancing at my site?
We deliver mobile dynamic balancing to your driveway, shop, or job site for zero downtime.
Is motion-based calibration right for my car or truck?
Whether you drive a small SUV or manage a commercial fleet, dynamic balancing boosts safety and comfort.
