Wheel Care Services

Your vehicle’s wheel system employs several important components that make it possible for you to drive your vehicle with ease and precision. These include wheel bearings, wheel hub motors, seals, wheel studs, and wheel nuts. If your vehicle has larger tires or experiences frequent use over long periods of time on tough roads, these parts can wear down faster. If you’re experiencing an issue with your vehicle’s wheels, it’s time to schedule your wheel care services at Deutmeyer Auto Advantage.

 

Components of Your Wheels

At Deutmeyer Auto Advantage, we specialize in wheel care services that include in-depth diagnostics and repair of your wheel system. Here are just some of the wheel components that we check and repair:

 

Wheel Bearings

A crucial part of your wheel assembly, the wheel bearings on your vehicle allow your tires to turn with minimal friction. These parts are responsible for connecting your wheels to their axles. If any one of your wheel bears is worn out, it can become very dangerous to drive as it can cause the wheel to suddenly stop while you’re driving. Faulty wheel bearings will produce a noticeable gritty sound and cause your steering wheel to vibrate.

 

Wheel Hub Motors

Your wheel hub motor is an electric motor and part of your wheel hub assembly that is primarily responsible for driving the wheel. While these are typically more popular in electric vehicles or motorcycles, these can be incorporated into your vehicle to improve power and performance as well as efficiency.

 

Seals

Wheel seals help to keep lubricant within the bearing as well as keep contaminants out, such as debris or dirt, while you’re driving your vehicle. If you notice grease coming out from the bearings, noises from your tires, or any visible sign of damage to the wheel seals, this is indicative of a serious problem. Broken wheel seals can lead to severe damage to your bearings and other part failures on your wheel assembly.

 

Wheel Studs & Wheel Nuts

Your vehicle’s wheel studs are responsible for holding your wheels to their hubs. They usually feature a threaded shaft, a body, a neck, and a flat head that may or may not be round. You’ll find them mounted directly to the hub through the brake drum and secured with lug nuts. Signs of problematic wheel studs include spinning or loose studs and broken or bent studs. These symptoms are usually caused by either improper installation or lug nuts that are either too loose or too tight. Because lug nuts are critically responsible for securing your tire and wheel assembly to your vehicle, it’s paramount that they are safely and professionally installed.
