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.

They are therefore a critical element of your car's drivetrain and a Wheel bearing failure can be catastrophic, as it will usually result in the axle or wheel collapsing and detaching from the car. Because wheel bearings are usually hidden, it is often a forgotten component in the vehicle, so proper maintenance and regular inspection is important.

If you are aware of any unusual noises or symptoms, be sure to alert the team at Brendale Automotive in Brendale so they can investigate thoroughly.

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.

Brendale Automotive 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

Everyone wants to maintain a safe car for themselves and their family but often it's the little things, like keeping an eye on your tyre's tread wear, that go overlooked. Your tyre's treads need to be big enough to allow water to be channelled out from underneath the tyre and prevent the car from sliding over a wet road. If you haven't driven in the wet for a while you might not notice your lack of tread until it's too late so make sure you keep an eye on your tyres and replace them when they need it.

Bring your car into Brendale Automotive for all your tyre needs. We are the local qualified mechanics in Brendale and we'll always provide you a high quality service and greet you with a smile.

While your tyres might look simple, they're actually quite a sophisticated product. here are some of the major parts:

Wheel - this isn't actually part of the tyre but is the bit that is attached to your car. The tyre fits onto the wheel.

Bead - this connects the tyre to the wheel's rim. It's made of hard rubber that's reinforced with wire.

Sidewall - the side of the tyre that connects the bead to the 'tread' of the tyre.

Shoulder - the edge of the tread, connecting to the sidewall.

Schrader valve - lets air in and out of tyre when the pin is pushed in.

Valve stem - stem of rubber than holds the valve and connects to the tyre's sidewall.

Tread - the raised parts of the tyre that come in contact with the road.

Tread void - the areas in between the treads. Tread voids and other channels are actually very important as they provide a channel for water to escape from underneath the tyre where it can seriously affect grip with the road.
