However, modern cars are approximately four times more sensitive to Static forces than Couple.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\">Hunter\u2019s innovative SmartWeight technology provides a better balance by separating the Static and Couple imbalance forces. As the Static forces are the ones most commonly felt by the driver, SmartWeight assigns a tighter tolerance to these while maintaining a broader Couple force tolerance. The result is a best balance for both the vehicle and the driver.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\">By approaching the imbalance in this way, SmartWeight provides a series of additional benefits to workshops including faster balances due to use of only one correction weight, fewer check spins and a reduction in weight chasing. The system also gives a visually better balance, the smaller amount of weight needed is less obvious and can be hidden behind wheel spokes. Indeed, approximately 35 per cent less weight is used with SmartWeight, potentially saving the workshop thousands of pounds over the year. Customers have also mentioned a reduction in vibration following SmartWeight balances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\">Overall it is the time and cost savings these benefits bring to workshops which deliver a significant return on investment and as such, potentially a better bank balance too!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\">To find out more about the better way to balance, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pro-align.co.uk\/\">www.pro-align.co.uk<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As vehicles have evolved, so too has wheel balancing.
