CV Joints & Boots: Understanding How They Work and Why They Matter. 

CV joints and boots are essential components of your vehicle's drivetrain, responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels. 

 The CV joint, or constant velocity joint, is designed to allow for smooth and efficient power transfer even when the wheels are turning at different speeds, such as when turning or going over bumps. 

The boot, which surrounds the CV joint, provides crucial protection from dirt and debris that can damage the joint and cause it to fail.

Without properly functioning CV joints and boots, your vehicle may experience significant issues such as vibrations, difficulty turning, and ultimately a breakdown. 

At Brendale Automotive, we offer high-quality CV joint and boot replacements as well as expert installation services to keep your vehicle running smoothly and reliably. Trust us to provide the parts and services you need for optimal performance and longevity.

If there are issues such as a cracked or torn boot or not enough high pressure grease, then the CV joint can fail. Symptoms include poor handling around corners, vibrating or an audible clicking sound whilst cornering.

Contact us at the first sign of trouble because repairing a torn boot and refilling the grease is a relatively cheap and easy procedure but if you leave it you could end up with a failed joint which needs to be replaced. We are located in Brendale and serve many customers in the surrounding areas as well.

Exceptional Care: As a part of the Repco Authorised Service Network of mechanics we have all the latest diagnostic equipment to keep your car running at optimal performance

Peace of Mind: We offer the peace of mind which comes from our Repco Nationwide Warranty along with the friendly service which comes from dealing with a neighbourhood shop

Education: Not only are our mechanics attending ongoing seminars and checking service bulletins via the National Auto Tech training program, but they are always available to help our clients learn more about what is going on with their car

High Pressure Grease re­filling (this goes in the boot)

Clicking sound when turning which may be caused from a loss of the high pressure grease due to a cracked boot.

Growling when the vehicle is in motion due to a broken or loose CV joint.

Vibrations when accelerating due to a worn joint.

Brendale Automotive Car Service & Repairs

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.

Peace of mind: Not only are we a Repco Authorised Service Centre, but we have a combined 20 years of experience on our team. From large jobs to small, you know you are in good hands with our mechanics.

Ongoing Training: As part of the Repco family, our mechanics are offered training seminars and received service bulletins about the latest diagnostic equipment and vehicle upgrades.

Friendly Service: We are not just a shop, but a locally owned and operated community of mechanics who are looking out for our neighbours.

Repacking and adjustment of wheel bearings (where applicable)

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.

We can combine our fully qualified expertise and knowledge with our local understanding of the driving conditions in Brendale to not only make sure your wheels are aligned correctly, but to confirm there are no underlying issues with the technologies behind the wheel that keep you safe on the roads.

The performance of safety systems such as traction, stability control, and  ABS braking systems depend largely on how well the suspension performs, which also depends on how well the wheels are aligned, which then has a direct bearing on how the suspension copes with cornering and braking forces, as well as with sudden steering inputs - phew, that's a long line of follow on effects! But that's why it's important to always have a fully qualified workshop perform your Wheel Alignment. 

Having an alignment procedure done at Brendale Automotive means knowing that the root cause of the original wheel alignment problem can be corrected professionally by suitably qualified technicians. Book in today!
