When working correctly, the power steering system is quite remarkable, allowing pretty much anyone to handle an enormous steel machine as it cruises along at significant speeds or navigates around tight corners. As a consequence, when you do have a power steering problem you'll probably notice the difference.

Sluggish steering response, evidence of leaking hydraulic fluid or difficulty turning the steering wheel are all likely symptoms of a power steering related issue. Regular servicing is the best way to prevent problems, but if you notice anything amiss, contact us ASAP to get it checked out.

Wheel Bearings are the means by which axles and wheels are supported and able to turn freely, with minimum friction and whilst simultaneously carrying the entire weight of the vehicle and therefore a critical element of your car's drivetrain. Because wheel bearings are usually hidden, it is often a forgotten component in the vehicle, so proper maintenance and regular inspection is important.

If you are aware of any unusual noises or symptoms, be sure to alert the team at Hycraft Automotive in Clontarf so they can investigate thoroughly.

Repacking and adjustment of wheel bearings (where applicable)

Wheel bearing failure: symptoms and causes

The wheels on your vehicle need to operate in a smooth manner, regardless of surfaces and speeds. When there is damage to the wheel bearings, the drive is no longer smooth as friction will build up. This friction can then break down the wheel bearings and cause wear and tear on the axle. Hycraft Automotive can give you peace of mind by advising you what may be causing loud noises or vibration in your vehicle. It may be time to come in and see our mechanics if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

Damaged or leaking seal on the wheel bearings

Your car's braking and suspension play an important part in making sure that your car stops quickly and safely. Here at Hycraft Automotive in Clontarf we take your safety very seriously. This is why we have invested in a state of the art Safe-T-Stop testing machine and we are an approved Safe-T-Stop Testing Centre.

Specialist Braking & Suspension Testing in Clontarf.

Your family's safety can be trusted with a Safe-T-Stop test. It provides an added safety inspection that goes far beyond a standard check and road test to scientifically test your braking capacity and ensure maximum stopping performance. No matter how good the mechanic involved, there is no way a simple road test could ever produce the accurate and detailed information provided by a full Safe-T-Stop test.

Safe-T-Stop test lanes measure and simulate a vehicle's brake performance in real-life conditions, exactly as it would happen in real life, including an emergency stop on the road! This technology allows us to carry out the entire inspection without even leaving the workshop.

Along with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your car will stop straight and in the shortest possible distance in an emergency, having your braking and suspension system in peak operating condition help you save money by minimising tyre drag and tyre wear which can increase fuel costs.

A Safe-T-Stop check will give the Hycraft Automotive mechanic testing your car a detailed and accurate printed report that will enable them to advise you on any urgent repairs or critical adjustments that should be made to your braking or suspension systems.

Car not braking the way it used to? A Safe-T-Stop test will soon have your braking back on track.

We can combine our fully qualified expertise and knowledge with our local understanding of the driving conditions in Clontarf to not only make sure your wheels are aligned correctly, but to confirm there are no underlying issues with the technologies behind the wheel that keep you safe on the roads.

The performance of safety systems such as traction, stability control, and  ABS braking systems depend largely on how well the suspension performs, which also depends on how well the wheels are aligned, which then has a direct bearing on how the suspension copes with cornering and braking forces, as well as with sudden steering inputs - phew, that's a long line of follow on effects! But that's why it's important to always have a fully qualified workshop perform your Wheel Alignment. 

Having an alignment procedure done at Hycraft Automotive means knowing that the root cause of the original wheel alignment problem can be corrected professionally by suitably qualified technicians. Book in today!
