Unwanted Vibrations

Unwanted Vibrations

Are you driving down the road and feeling a vibration you have never noticed before? The vibration can be caused by a few things. It could be something as easy as your tire unbalanced and just needing to be rebalanced. If you hit something prior to the vibration starting it may mean the rim possibly bent or a suspension component may have been damaged. A driveline U-joint also could cause the vehicle to shake. A U-joint is a component that connects the driveshaft to the differential and sometimes will connect the driveshaft to the transmission. It may even connect two driveshafts to each other. Bob's Main Street Auto & Towing is here for all your vehicles needs. Give us a call and we will be happy to look at your vehicles to keep you and you passengers safe on the road

Don't forget about an alignment!

Alignments are a very important factor in keeping your suspension and tires in great condition. If there is failure to do so the vehicle's tires and suspension may not last the amount of time it is expected to. If the alignment is not correct it may cause uneven wear on your tires which will require you to purchase tires sooner than expected. It can also cause suspension components to fail and cause more damage to your vehicle. Call us today to have us look over your vehicle's alignment and we will be happy to discuss your options

It also can be a lengthy and expensive repair. Bob's Main Street Auto starts with degreasing the engine and adding dye to the system. When the dye is added, we ask our customers to drive their vehicle for a week or so and then bring it back. We use a special light to look for the dye on the engine to see exactly where the oil leak is coming from. Call today and we will be happy to help you with all your vehicle's needs, big or small, we do it all!
