Your vehicle's differential bushings might be the culprit if they’re old, worn, or cracked. These essential components help control movement in the joints, absorb bumps on the road, and reduce vibrations and noise whether you’re driving forward or reversing. At Moranbah Discount Tyres & Mechanical, your trusted local mechanic in Moranbah, we’re well-equipped to handle this and many other automotive issues.  

The Ford Territory and Falcon are undoubtedly two of the most popular vehicles seen on Australian roads. However, both models are known to experience significant wear in certain rear suspension components, particularly the rear differential bushing. This is most common in vehicles that have covered high mileage, possess high horsepower, or are regularly used for towing.

If you’ve noticed a clunking noise or felt a jolt when accelerating or shifting between drive and reverse, it may indicate that your differential bushing is no longer functioning as it should. The rear differential bushing is designed to ensure a smooth and quiet transfer of power from the engine to the rear wheels, making it a vital part of your vehicle’s performance.  

Ignoring this issue can lead to additional wear and tear on other drivetrain and suspension components, potentially resulting in more costly repairs. Acting promptly when symptoms arise is both practical and cost-effective.

At Moranbah Discount Tyres & Mechanical, your local Repco Authorised Service centre in Moranbah, our skilled team has extensive experience diagnosing and resolving this problem. We can replace your worn rubber differential bushing with a durable Nolathane alternative, which is specifically engineered to address these concerns and restore your vehicle to peak performance.  

Did you know? Upgraded differential bushings, like Nolathane, not only improve durability but can also enhance handling and stability during cornering or heavy towing—offering additional benefits for your vehicle.

If clunking has become a regular part of your Territory or Falcon experience, don’t wait—get in touch with the team at Moranbah Discount Tyres & Mechanical today.

Diagnose and repair differential bushing issues at Moranbah Discount Tyres & Mechanical. Enhance performance, reduce noise, and improve handling with durable Nolathane upgrades. Book your service today!

Smooth Out Clunking in Your Territory or Falcon

At Moranbah Discount Tyres & Mechanical in Moranbah, we understand how crucial the transmission is to your vehicle’s performance.  

Your transmission enables your car to shift smoothly between gears, and transmission fluid plays a vital role in making this possible. Not only does it ensure seamless gear changes, but it also protects the internal components of your transmission. While transmission fluid doesn’t naturally decrease with use, it’s still important to check its level regularly. 

Over time, transmission fluid can become contaminated with metal particles and debris, which can reduce the lifespan of your transmission. Replacing a transmission is a costly repair, so maintaining clean, adequate transmission fluid is a smart way to protect your vehicle and avoid unnecessary expenses in the long term. 

Additionally, it’s worth noting that transmissions can suffer from overheating if fluid levels are too low, as the fluid also helps regulate temperature within the system.

At Moranbah Discount Tyres & Mechanical, we offer a comprehensive 65 Point Vehicle Condition Report with every full car service upon request. This includes inspecting your transmission fluid, and we’ll let you know if it needs replacing or if your vehicle could benefit from a transmission service.

Ensure smooth gear changes with Moranbah Discount Tyres & Mechanical. We check and maintain transmission fluid as part of our services to keep your vehicle performing at its best. Book a service today!

Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Moranbah

If your ‘check engine' light comes on and you find yourself thinking ‘yep, it's still there,' it might be time to take your wheels down to Moranbah Discount Tyres & Mechanical (MDTM).

We aren't all mechanically-minded, and that's ok, because here in Moranbah is one of the best one-stop mechanical shops you'll find in Queensland. MDTM are a leader in automotive services and repairs, offering a full suite of parts and services, tyres and expert knowledge.

Not only an automotive leader in the state, Moranbah Discount Tyres & Mechanical are also Australia's first authorised Repco service centre to be authorised as a Repco stockist for spare parts. No longer do auto enthusiasts need to travel to the big centres for their spare parts and accessories, what you would find in a normal Repco store you can now find in Moranbah.

The automotive parts centre is situated beside MDTM, where the camping store once was.

Owner, Carolyn Fritz, is delighted to be pioneering this partnership with Repco which has since been replicated in other parts of Australia.

“Having both of these authorisations under the Repco umbrella gives us the unique position of being able to offer our clients a one stop Repco shop, with the local knowledge and experience to back it up.

“We have consistently expanded and invested in growth strategies, making MDTM a one-stop-shop for all auto electrical, mechanical and tyre requirements.

“Our aim is to create an Automotive Hub in Moranbah, while partnering with other local businesses, to service the entire Bowen Basin as well as Mackay and Emerald. We call this “City to the Bush,” whereby we offer products and services that are so competitive, it attracts clients from further afield,” she said.

Not only are MDTM well-known for its exceptional knowledge and service, but also the generous support it gives to the Moranbah community. A regular contributor to local causes, the business contributed more than $42,000 in 2015 to charities and events, including the Relay for Life, Moranbah Early Learning Centre and RACQ Air Rescue. It has been a major sponsor of the Moranbah East State School Garden Party since 2011.

A major contributor to the local economy, MDTM employs 30 staff consisting of full-time, part-time and casuals as well as school-based trainees and apprentices from Moranbah High School. This is part of the school's apprentice and trainee programme, where MDTM currently have nine students taking part at its business.

“We also initiated a ‘Women, Wheels and Automobiles' service that provides free information sessions covering what to do in a vehicle breakdown, how to change a tyre and how to jump start a vehicle. This program has proved so popular that we also conduct the sessions at Moranbah State High School for Year 11 and 12 students,” Carolyn said.

A key part of MDTM's experience comes from managers, Lance Butcher and Michael Eve. Lance has been the Tyre Manager for two years, bringing his unique personal touch to the business and taking the time to speak with customers to understand their needs. He has 30 years of industry experience.

“The only thing between your car and the road is your tyres, it's a critical safety component to ensure tyres are performing as they should in all conditions,” he said.

Michael is the Workshop Manager and brings 35 years of industry experience, the past five years being part of MDTM.

With multiple awards and an extensive list of accreditations to its name, MDTM have achieved high-level recognition within the industry and throughout the Bowen Basin community, exceptional for a local family-owned and operated business.

Its seven core areas of operation continually evolve to support the growth of Moranbah and surrounds' need:

Services for all vehicle makes and models without voiding warranty. Same-day turnaround service for all mining company, contractor and local customer vehicles. Only local service provider with 24 hour roadside assistance with every service on non-leased vehicles (conditions apply).

MDTM is the only distributor for Ironman 4x4 products in the Bowen Basin and Central Highlands. These products are rigorously tested in the harshest conditions possible to ensure they offer maximum safety and comfort.
