WHEEL BEARINGS
Wheel Bearing Repair
Your vehicle's wheel bearings enable your wheels to spin smooth and quiet. They support the weight of your vehicle and help reduce friction between the wheels and the axles. Over time, wheel bearings can wear out and cause issues such as vibrations, noise, and poor handling. Here at Vorderman Motor Werks, we can make sure your wheel bearings are operating as they should. Our experienced technicians can diagnose and address any issues with your wheel bearings to keep your car running smoothly on the road.
Some signs that you may have a failing wheel bearing…
Unusual noises: One of the most common signs of a failing wheel bearing is a grinding or humming noise coming from the wheel area. The noise may become louder as you accelerate or turn a corner.
Vibrations: A failing wheel bearing can cause vibrations in the steering wheel, floorboard, or seat. The vibrations may become more noticeable at higher speeds.
Loose or wobbly wheel: If you notice that one of your wheels is loose or wobbly, it could be a sign of a failing wheel bearing. A worn or damaged wheel bearing can cause the wheel to move back and forth or up and down.
Uneven tire wear: A failing wheel bearing can cause your tires to wear unevenly, which can affect your car’s handling and performance.
ABS warning light: Some modern cars have a built-in sensor that can detect when a wheel bearing is failing. If the sensor detects a problem, it may trigger the ABS warning light on your dashboard.
If you notice any of these signs, give our service department a call immediately. Ignoring a failing wheel bearing can lead to more problems and, more importantly, can be very dangerous to you and others driving around you.
