Across the Refast rod end range you’ll find options for almost every engineering space, from industrial and manufacturing to even race cars and aerospace. This includes both male and female rod ends with left or right-hand threads. You can also choose between studded or hydraulic weld-on or clamped varieties to ensure a seamless fit. Additionally, our rod ends range includes a wide selection of sizes, with both metric and imperial dimensions. Finally, our rod ends come with different load ratings. However, if you can’t find one that suits your needs, please get in touch and we can look at specially sourcing a solution for you. We can also do the same if you need any additional bearing accessories to complete your project.

Average life ofwheelbearings

Over time, however, wheel bearings can wear out, causing noise and vibration that can be quite noticeable while driving. In some cases, a failed wheel bearing can even cause the wheel to come loose from the vehicle while you’re driving!

The term ‘Refast Pty Ltd’ or ‘us’ or ‘we’ refers to the owner of the website whose registered office is PO Box 4199 Mulgrave VIC 3170. Our ABN is 80 640 393 479. The term ‘you’ refers to the user or viewer of our website.

Thrust bearings, on the other hand, are the great correctors. They can manage errors with mounting or a misaligned shaft. If you do farm-specific work, agricultural bearings will be more your speed. They are easy to grease up and use for all agricultural work, such as ploughing. There are many parts to Refast’s online store, indeed.

If you do not elect to ‘opt out’ to receiving direct marketing material from us, you consent to us using personal information (other than sensitive information) provided to us for direct marketing purposes.

In some cases, a bad wheel bearing can also cause the affected wheel to wobble or shake. This is usually most noticeable at higher speeds (above 40 MPH) and can be dangerous if not addressed quickly.

The Information Commissioner can decline to investigate a complaint on several grounds including, among other things, where the complaint wasn’t made at first to us.

The CV joint consists of two main parts: the “inner race” and the “outer race.” The inner race is attached to the shaft, while the outer race is attached to the wheel axle.

In any event you will be provided with an opt out option with respect to direct marketing, should you wish to be excluded from direct marketing.

If we collect personal information about you from someone else, we will advise you as soon as practicable that this information has been collected and the circumstances which surround the collection.

If we have received sensitive information incidental to our collection of personal information, we will endeavour to notify you of the specific sensitive information that has been collected and destroy that sensitive information, as soon as reasonably practicable.

Between these two races are a number of small metal balls (called “balls”) that rotate along with the shaft. As the shaft turns, the balls slide back and forth inside the races, allowing the inner and outer races to move relative to each other.

Badrearwheel bearingsymptoms

As the name implies, wheel bearings provide smooth, friction-free rotation to your wheels while you’re driving down the road. Without them, your wheels would literally grind to a halt.

In some circumstances, we may collect and hold personal information that has been collected from a third party (such as an associated entity or service provider) or a publicly available source.

Another symptom to watch out for is increased vibration coming from the affected wheel. This can be felt through the floorboard or steering wheel and is usually worst between 15-25 MPH.

As indicated above, we may disclose personal information to a CRB in accordance with the permitted disclosures as defined under the Act.

A Notifiable Data Breach is an event where access to your personal data has been gained and there is a risk of serious harm, or it is suspected that there is a serious risk to you.

A CV joint is a type of joint that allows the shaft to transmit power while it’s at an angle. It’s most commonly used in drivetrains, where it connects the rotating driveshaft to the non-rotating wheel axles.

We will endeavour to notify any relevant third parties of the correct personal information where necessary and required.

Our purpose for collecting or holding personal information about you is so that it may be used directly for our business activities.

One of the most common symptoms is a clicking noise coming from the affected wheel when turning. This noise is caused by the balls inside the CV joint hitting against each other as they slide back and forth.

Of course, if you’re working on an engineering project, you’ll likely need parts beyond rod end bearings. Luckily, Refast also stocks a range of different types of bearings—as well as bearing accessories—to allow for a well-rounded experience. While rod end bearings are a more slender bearing, wide inner ball bearings will fill more circular space and take heavier loads. They are great for ensuring optimal speed rotations and minimal friction.

Refast understands engineers. We know your time is precious—and that’s why we work to provide stellar customer service and speedy turnaround times. Our tools, supplies, and bearing accessories are top-of-the-line from the best manufacturers and brands. So, why not browse our online store to discover our broad range of bearings and engineering equipment?

This movement allows the shaft to transmit power to the wheels while the suspension is moving up and down, always keeping the wheels in contact with the ground.

If you’re experiencing strange noises or vibrations while driving, there’s a good chance that you have a bad wheel bearing or CV joint. Identifying the cause can seem difficult, but there are a few ways to pinpoint the faulty part.

When you need rod end bearings in Australia, there’s only one place to go: Refast! With a wide variety of rod ends to suit just as many industries and applications, you’re sure to find the perfect rod ends to match your ball joints and more.

We will endeavour to ensure our staff are trained with respect to the security of the personal information we hold, and we will restrict any access where necessary.

We will take steps not to disclose personal information for direct marketing purposes unless you have provided your consent to do so.

Further, it is likely that it will be impractical for us to interact with you without some form of identification, and therefore we will request identification details from you at the beginning of each transaction.

Most vehicles have four-wheel bearings – one at each corner of the vehicle – that support the weight of the vehicle and allow the wheels to rotate freely.

In we collect personal information (including sensitive information) that is unsolicited, and we were not permitted to collect it, the personal information will be destroyed as soon as reasonably practicable.

To tell the difference between a bad wheel bearing and a bad CV joint, listen to the noise. If you hear a grinding, growling, or rumbling noise coming from the affected wheel, it’s a bad wheel bearing. If you hear a clicking noise coming from the affected wheel when turning, it’s a bad CV joint.

We will update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We therefore recommend that you read it each time you visit our website.
