Wheel Bearing Replacement — Cranbourne West
That droning hum that changes when you turn is usually a wheel bearing — and it is a roadworthy failure as well as a safety risk. We confirm which corner before we quote.
How booking works: to find a driveline or wheel-bearing fault we book a $374 incl. GST pre-paid diagnostic — a dedicated two-hour diagnostic booking plus a written report, not a free quote, and it applies even if we find the likely fault sooner. Any repair is quoted separately in writing before we start. Already know the exact work you want? Call 03 8782 0711 or ask us to add it to a service booking and we’ll quote it in writing.

Signs you need this looked at
- A humming or droning noise that rises with road speed
- Noise that changes or disappears when you swerve gently left or right
- Growling or rumbling from one corner of the car
- Play or vibration felt through the steering
- A wheel that feels rough when spun off the ground
Diagnose first, fix second — quoted before either
- Road test to identify the corner and rule out tyre noise, which fakes this constantly
- Hub play and rotation checks with the wheel off the ground
- Correct-specification bearing or hub assembly fitted and torqued to specification
- ABS sensor operation checked afterwards, as many hubs carry the sensor ring
A collapsed wheel bearing can seize a wheel at speed. It also fails a roadworthy, so if you are selling, it is cheaper to know now. Where the fault isn’t obvious, we book it in for diagnostics ($374 pre-paid fixed minimum — a dedicated two-hour diagnostic booking) — then the repair itself is quoted in writing before anything is replaced.
Wheel Bearing Replacement — FAQ
It depends what the testing finds, so we won’t invent a number. You get a fixed written quote before any repair work begins. Where diagnosis is needed first, that is a $374 pre-paid fixed minimum charge (a dedicated two-hour diagnostic booking), not offered as a free quote.
We can tell you the likely causes and what testing is involved — but a phone diagnosis is a guess, and guesses get the wrong parts replaced. Call 03 8782 0711 and we’ll tell you straight what’s needed.
It depends on the symptom — some of these are merely inconvenient, others are genuinely unsafe. Call and describe it; if it needs to stop being driven, we’ll say so rather than book you in next week.
