- Yes. We replace seals, check oil level/condition, and inspect for leaks.
Do you adjust brakes during bearing service?
- Yes, we verify brake adjustment and magnet operation when applicable.
What torque do you use on lug nuts?
- We follow manufacturer specs based on wheel type/stud size and re‑torque after test.
