Re: newbe ?

If you could perhaps paraphrase your question into English,and let us know what part of the world you live in, we might be able to help.

Are you asking the difference between wheel balancing and wheel alignment by chance?

Wheel Balancing- There is a light spot in your tire. The wheel is bolted to a machine and spun, the machine then tells the user what wheel weight to knock on, and where to put it.

Wheel Alignment- The camber, toe in/out and castor is all adjusted to even out the wear on all tires.

They both pretty much are ways of avoiding uneven wear on your tires.

When I was working in the tire bay at a mechanics a little while back, the Wheel balancing was just done when the tires were changed, and the Wheel alignment was a 5 min- 1 day depending on how bad the wheel alignment was.

Don't know where you live but tire balancing run $5-10/tire depending where you get it done at.
Wheel/car alignment (setting the car tires at the correct canter/pitch)$35 plus depending on car for front end (Some cars require a rear alignment but usually only needed if you like to curb hop alot.
