Press Release

It's no secret that owning a car demands a lot of maintenance. Regular oil changes and maintenance are required to keep your car running smoothly and efficiently. Even with the finest of care, your vehicle will eventually require repairs or even break down.
A full breakdown can sometimes be predicted and even avoided if the vehicle is maintained by a competent technician.
Check MOT history of your car to establish the expiry date and schedule a pre-MOT test inspection with a competent mechanic to avoid a failed MOT test.
When the front or rear wheel bearings, for example, begin to wear out, your vehicle will most likely create some noise as a result of friction.
How can you know if your wheel bearings are bad?
The following are some of the signs and symptoms of worn-out wheel bearings:
1. A buzzing, rumbling, or growling sound that gets louder as the vehicle accelerates or turns.
2. When the car is in motion, it makes a loud whining or grinding noise.
3. When driving on a bumpy road, a clunk can be heard.
4. Steering wheel looseness or excessive play (vague steering)
5. Steering wheel vibration that changes with vehicle speed or as the vehicle turns
6. ABS problem. Failure of the ABS sensor embedded in the wheel end bearing can cause problems with the ABS system.
If you complete a MOT history check for your car and see that a previous failure was due to one of the above, then this means that the wheel bearing could have been at fault and may have been replaced.
What is the life expectancy of a wheel bearing?
Wheel bearings typically last between 85,000 and 100,000 kilometres. However, this is simply a guideline; the actual lifespan of a wheel bearing is determined by the quality of the bearing and the operating conditions.
When looking for car garages in Reading online to book your car in next for a routine service or maintenance, request the mechanic to also check the condition on the wheel bearing.
