There should never be a rumbling, groan or grinding sound coming from the wheels of your car, nor any vibration through the steering wheel (unless of course you are driving over corrugated roads!).

Wheel bearing issues usually come about due to poorly sealed bearings or lack of lubrication. Worn bearings are very dangerous as they can collapse and cause the wheel to detach from the car. They can also cause uneven wear on the tyres, loud noises and vibration in the car.

Wheel bearing failure: symptoms and causes

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.

On The Move Mechanical Repairs 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

Your tyres are the only contact between your vehicle and the road. We are committed to maintaining them so they can ensure your safety.

Worn or unbalanced tyres can severely impact a vehicle's handling. When tyres are worn, their ability to grip the road diminishes, leading to decreased traction, particularly in wet conditions, which can increase stopping distances. Unbalanced tyres, on the other hand, can cause vibrations and uneven wear, affecting the stability and control of the vehicle. These issues can compromise safety and comfort, highlighting the importance of regular tyre checks and maintenance.

Routine maintenance allows us to monitor your tyres' condition and provides a convenient opportunity to carry out wheel alignments and balances. These services are affordable and can significantly enhance your driving experience.

At On The Move Mechanical Repairs we supply and fit an extensive selection of tyres for passenger cars, 4WDs, commercial fleets, and light trucks and vans up to six tonnes.

Fitting new tyres and ensuring proper wheel balance are crucial for optimal vehicle handling. On The Move Mechanical Repairs specialises in maintaining tyres and associated components, offering expert advice on selecting the right tyres for your vehicle
