CV joints and boots control the wheels in relation to the transmission and keep them turning at a smooth speed. When these parts are cracked or have worn down then there is a rattling, clicking when turning, or a vibration when driving the vehicle. To keep your drive smooth and your family safe, bring your car in to see the mechanics in Tingalpa at Athena Automatics.

In order to help pinpoint the issues which you may be facing with your vehicle, here are some of the most common symptoms of CV joint and boot failure:

Clicking Sound When Turning: The boot may be cracked and there could be debris or dirt in the CV joint.

Growling When the Car is in Motion: The boot may be cracked and therefore should be replaced.

Vibrating When Driving: If the CV boot, which houses the CV joint, is broken then the lubricating grease could be gone and the boot should be replaced and the joint re-lubricated.

If you are experiencing any of these issues, or other issues with the CV joint or boot, make an appointment with the team at Athena Automatics.

The braking system cannot work to its maximum performance if the tyres are worn or otherwise unsuitable for the car or type of driving you undertake. Likewise, your wheels should be balanced and properly aligned to ensure maximum safety and comfort while driving and to extend the life of your tyres.

If you are experiencing unusual vibrations, poor handling of the vehicle, have problems keeping tyres at the correct pressure, have low tyre tread or can see obvious damage to your tyres, you should probably have your tyres checked by experts such as the service team from Athena Automatics.

Regular car servicing will keep your car in good condition and having the wheels & tyres checked at the same time can help you be aware of the condition of your tyres and alert you to any problems. Your Athena Automatics mechanic can also let you know if your car would benefit from a wheel alignment or wheel balancing. They are relatively low cost solutions and can greatly improve your driving experience as well as vehicle safety.

New tyres, a wheel alignment and wheel balancing go hand in hand to ensure good handling and maximising the expected lifespan of your new tyres. Athena Automatics are experts at inspecting and maintaining tyres and related components and can give you good advice on purchasing the correct tyres for your car.

So if you need new tyres, a wheel balance or wheel alignment or just a simple bit of wheel related advice perhaps it is time to pop in to our Tingalpa workshop for some expert advice.

Wheel balance refers to how smoothly an individual wheel rotates around its own centre. Unbalanced wheels can cause other parts of your car to wear down faster - such as shock absorbers, struts and steering. If your wheels are not balanced properly it can affect the overall performance and feel of your car. 

Your steering wheel or car vibrates at high speed.

Your tyres have had some rough treatment such as potholes or extremely rough roads. 

Athena Automatics are fully equipped to balance your wheels - if you have any concerns, don't hesitate to make a booking today.
