Wheel Repair Services Include

Bearings
The wheels on your truck rotate by use of wheel bearings. The bearings include rollers that spin in a cage to carry the weight of the vehicle on the axles. Wheel bearings come in many different kinds and designs. Among the types of bearings commonly used in automotive wheels are taper roller bearings, roller bearings, roller thrust bearings, thrust ball bearings, and ball bearings.

Although properly maintained bearings can last for over 100,000 miles, rumbles, clicks and groans means that the bearings need replacing (even if they haven't stayed for long). Worn out wheel bearings cannot carry your truck's load. For your bearing service and replacement needs, visit or call Mark's Auto Service. We offer a huge selection of wheel bearings that can fit any vehicle and truck, and have the expertise to make the repairs.

Hubs, Seals, Studs & Nuts
A wheel hub motor, also referred to as a wheel motor, is an electric motor incorporated into the wheel hub and drives it directly. You can have a safer and smoother ride today by replacing your warped and worn out wheel hubs. Let Mark's Auto Service replace your worn out hubs today.

Properly working seals provide oil and grease sealing - offering enhanced performance in a wide range of temperatures and environments. Worn out or warped seals allow external contaminants to enter the bearing unit or let lubricant escape from the unit. This ultimately leads to premature failure of the bearing unit. To keep out contamination and retain lubricant in the bearings, have the seals replaced with new ones. To have the seals replaced by experts, contact or visit Mark's Auto Service today.

Studs are the threaded fasteners that hold on the wheels of your truck. The wheel studs are permanently mounted on the wheel hub through the brake disk or brake drum. To secure the wheel, nuts (lug nuts) are fastened over the stud. Stripped wheel studs can be quite dangerous. Damaged wheel studs should be replaced with new ones immediately. To have your truck's wheel studs replaced with high quality ones, call 908-647-7276 or visit Mark's Auto Service today.

A wheel nut or lug nut is a fastener for securing a wheel on the hub. A set of lug nuts are used to secure a wheel to the threaded wheel studs (which are fixed to a wheel hub). Worn out nuts means one thing - the wheel is not fixed securely on the vehicle which puts the vehicle at the risk of rolling over. To have your truck's wheels securely fastened to the hub, contact or visit Mark's Auto Service in Gillette, NJ 07933 today.

Why Wheel Bearings Wear Out

Wheel bearings are built to withstand thousands of miles of daily driving, but they gradually wear as they are exposed to constant loads, road impacts, and changing driving conditions. While many wheel bearings can provide years of reliable service, their lifespan can be shortened by factors such as heavy cargo, frequent stop-and-go driving, rough roads, water intrusion, loss of lubrication, or damage from potholes and curbs.

As wheel bearings begin to wear, they may produce humming, grinding, or growling noises that become more noticeable as vehicle speed increases. Addressing these warning signs early can help prevent damage to surrounding wheel and hub components while reducing the risk of more extensive repairs. Routine inspections can identify worn bearings before they affect vehicle safety, handling, or reliability.

Loose Lug Nuts Can Cause Serious Damage

Lug nuts play a critical role in securing each wheel to the vehicle's hub. If they become loose or are not tightened to the proper specifications, the wheel may shift slightly while driving. Even small amounts of movement can place excessive stress on the wheel studs, hub, and surrounding components, potentially leading to costly damage or unsafe driving conditions.

Improperly torqued lug nuts can contribute to damaged wheel studs, worn mounting surfaces, vibration, and, in severe cases, wheel separation. Following the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications helps ensure even clamping force and secure wheel installation. Routine inspections and proper torque checks are simple but important steps in maintaining the safety and reliability of fleet vehicles.
