Wheel Bearings are the means by which axles and wheels are supported and able to turn freely, with minimum friction and whilst simultaneously carrying the entire weight of the vehicle.

Wheel bearings play a crucial role in supporting and enabling the axles and wheels to rotate effortlessly, without any impediments and simultaneously carrying the entire weight of the vehicle. In essence, they act as a significant bridge between the wheels and the vehicle, enabling seamless rotation, optimal performance, and improved fuel efficiency.

It is imperative that your vehicle's wheels do not produce any sort of rumbling, groaning, or grinding sounds, nor should the steering wheel vibrate unless you are driving over corrugated roads. 

The wheels of your vehicle are responsible for ensuring a smooth ride, and any disturbances in their functioning can be indicative of larger issues at play..

Wheel bearings often encounter issues because of inadequately sealed bearings or lack of lubrication. This results in worn bearings, which can pose a severe threat to safety, leading to wheel lock-ups or seizing, particularly while the car is in motion.

Not only do these problems cause inconvenience to the driver, but they can also result in disastrous accidents, resulting in injuries or even fatalities. Thus, it is critical to understand the factors that contribute to the malfunction of wheel bearings. They can also cause uneven wear on the tyres, loud noises and vibration in the car.

It is crucial to give the wheel bearings in your car the attention they deserve as they have the potential to cause detrimental effects. These often disregarded components can bring about an array of issues including irregular tyre wear, jarring sounds and uncomfortable vibrations whilst driving. The bearings play a vital role in ensuring the wheels are able to spin freely on the axle.  Unfortunately, they are situated out of sight which means they are commonly overlooked during vehicle upkeep.

Because wheel bearings are hidden from view they are often a forgotten component in the vehicle, so proper maintenance and regular inspection is important. Eagle Farm Auto Care in Eagle Farm offer:

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.

Eagle Farm Auto Care 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:

Damaged or leaking seal on the wheel bearings

Our suspension and shock absorber services include inspection, diagnosis, repairs and replacements so we'll have your car fixed and back on the road time. Don't delay, book today.

Some of your suspension & shock absorber's important parts include;

Springs - Springs are designed to absorb energy and there are several different types including leaf, coil, torsion bar or air assisted springs. The springs on different types of cars will be set up to different levels. Luxury cars, for example, may have soft springs to produce a smoother ride but this results in more body movement when the car brakes and corners. Sports cars, on the other hand, tend to have tighter springs which allow for more aggressive driving, including around corners, but also mean a less smooth ride.

Shock absorbers - these dissipate the energy absorbed by the springs. The car would not work properly without the shock absorbers because the springs would cause it to bounce up and down when you go over a bump rather than absorb that bump.

Strut - this is a shock absorber mounted inside a coil spring. Struts do the job of the springs and shock absorbers plus provide additional structural support for the suspension system.

Anti-sway bar - spans the width of the axle and joins the two sides of the suspension together to provide stability to the car while it is moving.
