Here is some good information about a very important part of your vehicle: Wheel Bearings

Nov 11th, 2015
Your wheel bearings may be something to which you've never given a thought while driving around , . Wheel bearings are what enable your wheels to spin freely. Since they bear the entire weight of the vehicle, they have to be tough. Wheel bearings can last well over 60,000 miles or 100,000 kilometers. They do wear out though and must eventually be replaced.

You might hear a groaning sound from your wheels. The sound might disappear at some speeds and reappear at others. Your service technician at Quality Auto Electric & Repair can quickly tell if your bearings are bad by raising the vehicle and wiggling the wheel. When you grasp the top and bottom of the tire, it shouldn't move along the vertical axis.

Many vehicles these days have wheel bearing assemblies that cannot be serviced at Quality Auto Electric & Repair. When the bearings go bad, we simply replace the entire wheel bearing assembly.

For those vehicles with wheel bearings that can be accessed, we can do some preventive maintenance. You may have heard the phrase 'pack the bearings'. With this procedure we remove the bearings, carefully clean them and inspect for any imperfection or wear. If the bearings can be reused, we reinstall them and pack them with grease. If not, we put in new bearings. Check your owner's manual or ask your , service advisor at Quality Auto Electric & Repair if your bearings can be serviced, and if so, when should it be done.

Now, taking care of bad bearings is extremely important. When bearings go bad, they generate tremendous amounts of heat – enough to lock up the wheel. That's not a good thing at any speed. In some cases the wheel can even fall off. Either of these could cause a serious accident. So have your wheel bearings inspected if you suspect a problem and replace them right away if there is one.

As we go into the winter season and colder weather we are asked most often about how to prepare a vehicle for winter driving and weather. So here is a short list of the most important things we recommend to do.

1) Tires. Good, deep tread improve traction and limits hydroplaning. Its that simple. Even a 50% reduction in tread depth dramatically reduces braking efficiency and vehicle control. Don't wait until your tires are close to being illegal. As far as what tires to buy? You get what you pay for. Cheap tires are cheap tires. Get good tires, this is not a time to be cheap. They will last longer and drive better also.

2) Wiper blades. Repace them every year. You cannot avoid what you cannot see.

3) Maintain your vehicle regularly. This is more than just oil changes. Keep up on your general routine and manufacturer recommended services. Keep your brakes, shocks, steering and suspension in good working order, they work together to make sure you can stop in the shortest distance possible. We will be happy to print these maintenance schedules and recommendations out for you if you need a specific list. It has been proven over and over that a well maintained vehicle is MUCH more reliable than one that isn't. Not rocket science.

4) SLOW DOWN! Nuf said You are not in that big of a hurry.

5) Put down the cell phone, please. Its hard, i know.

Our list could go on and on but these should be at the top. These 4 items are among the things that could save a life. Any questions or comments are encouraged.

Have a great and safe Holiday and winter driving season.

The QAE Guys.
