The cost of a wheel alignment and balancing machine can vary widely based on the brand and features, typically ranging from $5,000 to $30,000. Basic models tend to be on the lower end of this spectrum, while advanced, high-precision machines with additional features can be significantly more expensive. It's important to consider not only the initial purchase price but also the long-term maintenance and calibration costs. Additionally, investing in a reputable brand may offer better reliability and service support.
wheel balance is when the wheel is removed from the vehicle and balnced on a wheel balancing machine. an alignment is done with the vehichle as a whole and ur camber and tow is adjusted and aligned
They make the wheel look pretty. When your wheel is balanced it is attached to a balancing machine, a shaft sticks out of wheel balancing machine (where wheel is attached). The wheel is then installed onto balancing machine shaft via center of wheel (requiring removal of center cap).
Wheel alignment refers to adjusting the angles of the wheels to be perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. This ensures that the tires wear evenly and the vehicle drives straight. Wheel balancing involves balancing the weight of the tire and wheel assembly by adding weights to ensure that it rotates smoothly at high speeds without causing vibrations.
Balancing ... although it has no real effect on the alignment, the act of removing the wheels and re-installing them improperly could result in disrupting the alignment.
Yes, wheel alignment machines do need to be calibrated.
Mugs 'n' wheels
Wheel alignment 40-60 $ depending on where you go. Wheel balancing 20 $
Usually a 4-wheel alignment costs between $60 & $90
It all depends on they type of machine. Alignment machines can range between 10,000 to 15,000 dollars.

That requires a front end alignment machine to do that.
Shaking at speed - probably due to poor wheel alignment or wheels needing balancing
