We can balance any type of propshaft including those from Kit Cars to the largest Heavy Goods Vehicles
Propshaft balancing is critical to the process of manufacturing or repairing a propshaft.
With two balancers in operation, we have the ability to cater for batch production and for VOR or breakdown repair work. This adds a great deal of speed and flexibility to the process of balancing propshafts, which ultimately saves time for our customers.
Whether we are replacing a universal joint or offering a full re-manufacture, all our work involves balancing and is included within the price quoted. This ensures longevity of the repair and eliminates any existing vibration caused by the disrepair.
At Firow, we can balance any type of propshaft including those from Kit Cars to the largest Heavy Goods Vehicles. All propshafts are dynamically and precisely balanced at different rotational speed ranges according to the application and with the input of many years of experience from our engineering team. Our equipment can balance in up to four correction planes at the same time and we balance to the accuracy of one gram.
We will be able to turn around the balancing of your shaft normally within twenty-four hours of receipt. If you are local, we offer a collection service, otherwise we can organise for a courier to pick up your propshaft and return it upon completion.
If you have any questions regarding our propshaft balancing, feel free to contact a member of our team on 01477 535960.

TESTIMONIALS
What our customers are saying
A nationwide service, providing high quality propshafts and expert advice to both individuals and businesses.
On most truck drivelines you will find an intermediate propshaft and Scania trucks are no different. Sometimes referred to as the 'mid-shaft' or a 'centre bearing shaft', the intermediate propshaft is identified as the propshaft with a centre support bearing.
In week 10, we took a quick look at our first propshaft centre bearing of the series. We covered the main components of a centre bearing and how they operate within a propshaft.
Universal Joints are a common sight when it comes to Propshafts and are easily identifiable by many people in the automotive trade. However, if you’re someone who has limited experience with Propshafts, let alone the individual components, sometimes it can feel like you’re fumbling around in the dark.
Volkswagen’s mid-size luxury SUV, the Volkswagen Touareg, has been produced since 2002 and its popularity seems to suggest it’s following the sales trend for SUVs across Europe.
Scania Interaxle Propshafts (or “Bogie Propshafts”) are found on Scania tippers between the two back driven axles. It is quite common for these to fail due to the amount of stress they are under, so we quite often see these props in pretty bad shape.
