Before you hit the road with your Motorhomes, Caravans, Camper Trailers, or even your Utility Trailers, let's talk about something super important but often overlooked – your wheel bearings.

Think of wheel bearings as the unsung heroes of your vehicle. They're the ones working hard behind the scenes, making sure your axles and wheels are supported, can spin freely with minimal friction, all while carrying the weight of your whole setup. Yep, they're pretty crucial for a smooth and safe ride.

Now, we've seen our fair share of holidays cut short right here at Howard Motor Repairs – a proud RACQ Roadside Assistance and Breakdown contractor. It's a common sight, unfortunately. Travelers all excited for their journey, only to end up on the side of the road with severe axle damage, all thanks to neglected wheel bearings. Trust us, it's not the holiday memory you want to make.

Because wheel bearings tend to be out of sight, they often end up out of mind, too. But skipping on their maintenance and inspection is like inviting trouble to your road trip party. Imagine this: you're cruising, having the time of your life, and then boom! Wheel bearing failure hits. We're talking about axles or wheels potentially giving up on you and saying goodbye. Not cool, right?

If your ride starts serenading you with unusual noises or you notice any funky symptoms, it's our cue at Howard Motor Repairs to step in. Don't worry, we've got your back!

What can we do for you? A lot! From repacking and adjusting wheel bearings (where it's needed), handling hub assembly repairs and replacements, to outright bearing replacement. Noticed any weird vibrations under your foot pedals, a pull to one side, or a loud, I'm-not-okay kind of noise from your tyres? It might be your wheel bearings screaming for attention because of damage, leaks, or just being as dry as the Outback.

Before you set off to make memories, swing by Howard Motor Repairs. We're not just here to help you out when things go sideways. We're here to make sure they don't in the first place. Let's keep your holiday rolling smoothly – literally. Safe travels, folks!
