Wheel hub assemblies are some of the toughest and hardest working components of your vehicle. On an HGV they’re asked to cope with considerable weight and workload on a daily basis so they’re built to last. While they will give you thousands of miles of trouble-free service, as with everything, they will be subject to deterioration over time.

Heavy Duty wheelbearing grease

CyclOn Bearing Grease is a high-quality sodium-based bearing grease designed for lubricating bottom bracket bearings, steering head bearings, wheel bearings and hubs of city bikes. The bearing grease aims to optimise bike performance by reducing rolling resistance, while ensuring smooth operation of components.

When bearings are worn they become loose leading to excessive runout. This then causes the brakes to pull or pulsate. A corroded or pitted bearing that transmits the vibration through the steering can cause pulling to one side. The vehicle will pull to the side of the failed wheel bearing.

This professional service didn't just save me over £800 on service exchanged or new parts it also got me back on the road without disruption to my loading while the truck was parked up for the weekend so as previously mentioned the down time was zero. This company was first class!

The grease easily adheres to different bearings and hubs. This minimises friction and reduces component wear. This results in improved efficiency during cycling, which is especially important for city bikes where comfort and reliability are a priority.

If you hear grinding noises when the vehicle is in motion it can indicate that a wheel hub assembly is damaged. If the noise is normally heard when turning or when there is a shift in load, it might indicate roller or raceway damage.

Step 02Remove the industrial bearing or balls from the bike or wheels and clean them with CyclOn Bionet. Also make sure everything around the bearing is nice and clean.

Some of the first signs that a wheel hub assembly is failing will be noises. This is why it’s important to remain attuned to any unusual and persistent noises and to act on them. It could save you money and hassle in the long run.

If you suspect that your wheel hub is failing because of any of the above indicators it’s important to have it checked as soon as possible. Catastrophic failure can lead to serious and costly accidents. Replacing a wheel hub assembly is a relatively simple procedure and it shouldn’t be put off.

Wheel vibration or wobble is usually indicative of a worn or damaged tyre, wheel or suspension component or severe chassis misalignment. It can also occur when lug nuts are not properly torqued or may indicate the loss of clamp. It can indicate a bearing with extreme mechanical damage.

Eventually, a wheel hub assembly will begin to show signs of deterioration which, if left to continue, will only get worse. While outright failure is rare, it’s important to be alert to some of the warning signs. The timeframe in which damage can occur is generally linked to driving conditions with noise being a classic sign of a faulty wheel hub bearing.

Just like to say thank you for the fantastic levels of service and response times you continue to provide. 3 hubs being done while we wait. Brilliant.

Uneven tyre wear can indicate that the wheel bearing is well on the road to failure. Usually, noises and other signs will appear first, but if these are ignored, tyre wear can be an indication that the wheel hub assembly needs urgent attention. A worn wheel bearing will make the wheel loose which causes the tyre to wear out unevenly.

If you are looking to replace your wheel hub assembly yourself it’s important to ensure you have the correct and most professional parts available to you.

Absolutely fantastic company to deal with. Went out of their way to help out even on a bank holiday weekend opening up especially for me. Would 100% recommend.

If you feel some looseness in the steering it may indicate that a wheel bearing is failing. When a bearing wears down it starts to become loose within the wheel hub and spindle. This, in turn, can make the steering wheel feel loose.

A rumbling or growling noise can be indicative of a bad bearing. It can be particularly prominent when the vehicle is moving in a straight line, getting worse when the vehicle turns slightly at a speed of 15-50mph.
