The wheels of your vehicle should operate smoothly and quietly, without any rumbling, groaning or grinding sounds.

Moreover, the steering wheel should not vibrate, unless you are driving on corrugated roads.

If you notice any of these signs, it could be an indication of wheel bearing issues. Poorly sealed bearings or lack of lubrication are the primary causes of such problems. Worn bearings can be dangerous, as they may collapse and cause the wheel to detach from the car. Additionally, they can result in uneven tyre wear, loud noises, and vibrations in the vehicle.

Whether you require emergency repairs or regular maintenance, you can count on Auto Care - Minto. We are a Repco Authorised Service Centre with a team of experienced mechanics who can handle jobs of any size. You can rest assured that your vehicle is in good hands when you work with us. We also offer ongoing training to our mechanics through the National Auto Tech program, which keeps them updated on the latest diagnostic equipment and vehicle upgrades.

We pride ourselves on providing friendly service. We are a locally owned and operated community of mechanics who look out for our neighbors. Our wheel bearing services include repacking and adjustment of wheel bearings, hub assembly repairs and replacement, and bearing replacement.

The wheels on your vehicle need to operate in a smooth manner, regardless of surfaces and speeds. When there is damage to the wheel bearings, the drive is no longer smooth as friction will build up. This friction can then break down the wheel bearings and cause wear and tear on the axle.

Auto Care - Minto can give you peace of mind by advising you what is causing the loud noise or vibration in your vehicle. It may be time to come in and see our mechanics if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

• Vibrations felt in the foot pedals
• Vibration in the floor above the wheels
• Pulling of the car to one side
• Loud noise coming from the tyres

These symptoms could be caused by damaged or leaking seals on the wheel bearings, issues with the hub assembly, or lack of grease on the wheel bearings.

Auto Care - Minto can advise you on what is causing the noise or vibration in your vehicle. We can provide you with peace of mind and the assurance that your vehicle is in good hands.
