There should never be a rumbling, groan or grinding sound coming from the wheels of your car, nor any vibration through the steering wheel (unless of course you are driving over corrugated roads!).

Wheel bearing issues usually come about due to poorly sealed bearings or lack of lubrication. Worn bearings are very dangerous as they can collapse and cause the wheel to detach from the car. They can also cause uneven wear on the tyres, loud noises and vibration in the car.

For emergency repairs or regular maintenance, visit us in Lidcombe.

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.

Lidcombe Service Station 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

The "safety triangle," made up of your vehicle's ability to stop, steer and stay stable, is essential to its roadworthiness and safety. 

Suspension and shock absorbers don't just make the ride more comfortable; they play a key role in these three aspects of the triangle, protecting you, your passengers and other drivers on the road. Scheduled maintenance and servicing can prevent issues from arising, but if something doesn't seem quite right, contact us right away to have it looked at.

An important part of keeping all aspects of your vehicle working properly is to stick to your regular Log Book servicing schedule. However, if you notice any of the following symptoms you should get your vehicle checked out as soon as possible;

In order to keep all your vehicle's systems working smoothly, you should stick to your Log Book servicing schedule. However, if you start to notice any of the following issues, you should have it looked at as soon as possible:

Vibration or pulsing of the steering wheel;

Sudden nose-diving and swerving when braking or slowing down;

Rocky, rough rides over bumps, as well as difficulty cornering;

Springs: These can be leaf, coil, torsion bar or air-assisted and are designed to absorb energy. They are set to different levels depending on the type of car; luxury vehicles usually have softer springs for a smoother ride, while sports cars have tighter springs to enable aggressive driving but also result in a bumpier ride.

Shock Absorbers: These absorb the energy that is generated from the springs and ensure that the car does not bounce up and down when going over bumps.

Struts: These act as both shock absorbers and coil springs and provide additional structural support for the suspension system.
Anti-Sway Bars: These span across the width of the axle and link the two sides of the suspension together for greater stability.

Your vehicle's suspension & shock absorbers consist of the following parts:
