Your vehicle needs good wheels to move smoothly and safely down the road. Those wheels rely on wheel bearings to enable them to roll on down the highway. Those bearings, though, wear out over time and need replacement. Unfortunately, many people overlook wheel bearings and related components and ignore their need for occasional maintenance. Wheel bearings are very important for vehicle safety and driving efficiency. If they wear out and go unattended, you might wind up needing a tow – or worse.
Our certified technicians will visually and diagnostically examine your wheel bearings and related components. If they are out of tolerance or otherwise not working properly, we can replace them right away. That helps to ensure your car continues driving as intended, and you get the best possible fuel mileage. You also benefit from safer turning and driving in general, while enjoying the peace of mind knowing your wheel bearings are in good shape and will last well into the future.
Most wheel bearings last many tens of thousands of miles, but they do wear out. Telltale signs are squeaking, metallic sounds coming from your wheels, especially while turning. You also will hear squeaking and squealing at low speeds. It typically increases in pitch and rate as you increase speed. A wheel bearing inspection can determine if yours are in good shape or need replacement.
If you ignore bad wheel bearings, the wheels will not contact the road properly. In very bad cases, you can see wheels actually angled toward the roadway as the bearing and other components wear out. Eventually, you could lose a wheel while driving. But, that rarely happens due to the telltale signs of wheel bearing wear and tear.
