It balances a tire out so there is even wear on the whole tire. If this was not done, it may lead to uneven tire wear.
A tire balancer helps a mechanic to place weights on the rim of a tire which in turn allows for proper operation of a tire. When tires are not balanced properly they can cause unusual ware and tare on your tires.

Behind the harmonic balancer. You will need to remove the right front tire, remove the access panel to the engine (through the wheel well), remove engine belt, remove harmonic balancer & pulley with a puller. Remove & replace crank sensor, align sensor with an alignment tool, replace balancer with an installer tool.. BE VERY careful with the balancer, the backside of it has a hall effect style blades. bending these blades will junk the balancer.

It's almost always a wheel balance problem. Take the vehicle to your tire store and have the wheels rotated and balanced using a SPIN balancer. The cheap "bubble" balancer does almost no good.
