Road Force Vibration Control

Road Force Vibration Control

Road Force Vibration Control (RFVC) is essential for identifying and correcting wheel and tyre issues that cause vibrations, affecting driving comfort and safety. This advanced process uses specialized equipment to simulate road conditions, measuring force variations and imbalances in the tyre and wheel assembly. RFVC can detect problems like out-of-round tyres and stiff spots that traditional balancing methods may miss.

The need for RFVC arises to ensure smooth driving, optimal tyre contact, and vehicle stability. It helps prevent uneven tyre wear, poor handling, and increased fuel consumption. Regular RFVC checks, especially after new tyre installations or persistent vibrations, are crucial for maintaining vehicle safety and performance.

RFVC interval:
  • Every time a new tyre is fitted
  • Every 8,000 km

Signs Your Vehicle Needs a RFVC Service:
