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

Keep Your Vehicle Rolling Smoothly with Reliable CV Joints and Boots in Brendale

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.

Wheel balance refers to how smoothly an individual wheel rotates around its own centre. Unbalanced wheels can cause other parts of your car to wear down faster - such as shock absorbers, struts and steering. If your wheels are not balanced properly it can affect the overall performance and feel of your car. 

Your steering wheel or car vibrates at high speed.

Your tyres have had some rough treatment such as potholes or extremely rough roads.
