Id want ray to service my moms old explorer. She could use some love. Buuuuut i dont even know if we're in the same state, let alone a town near by.
Had exactly the same on a Honda FIT … woman driver.. complained noisy when braking…..
You have a great Channel and a great day too. Doo dee doo too
There's only a few things that if I'm repairing automatically get new parts and that's one of them sorry I do not install junkyard parts especially we're bearings… No matter if they're OEM
Just like you refuse to reuse cotter pins I don't put on bad wheel bearings! Have fun with that one.
Probably Could uh Gone Couple uh Hundred More Miles or Till Wheel Flew Off Killed a Pedestrian & Crashed Into a Ditch.. *
Aww… a little WD-40 and they've got another 25k left in em. i suppose if you really want to head off the wheel running over a pedestrian thing, you could change em now. Just be sure not to change the pads just 'cause they're worn a little 'funny'….
Yep , just started making noise !…….
Wobbly bits
Sounds like my knees. There is more lateral movement than I have as well.
Worst wheel bearing I have ever seen! It just started? Or the customer just starting listening to the radio at a lower level and then noticed this?
Any noise in a customer's car "just started"', like 6 months ago but the radio won't hide it any more.
I think the 2nd should be good for another month or two🤟🏽
You forgot to mention how many miles is on that vehicle I guaranteed you probably had 300,000-plus
Either grease it or turn the radio up.
My best friend learned well from his dad, he could fix most things, his dad could fix just about *anything*. His brother? Not so much. Dad had towed the brother home on several occasions. In this particular case, dad is going off on the brother, "John, you're going down the road, and you hear a funny noise from the engine, what do you do?" The brother's response, completely seriously, "I turn up the radio" Kinda sums it for some people.
thats whats comming at you and yer family doin 60 . I hate people
Didn't know Corollas had rear wheel steer.
Remember, that could be a car passing you going 75 mph
if you showed the customer that and they said no dont have the money etc to fix would you back it out and park it . this same car is coming at us on the road at 60mph how to tell some one to park it. at the same time same person at a bar a few drinks ask them let me call you a cab or a friend. its going to end the same way i bet
I have learned alot thanks
My '03 Sonoma 2wd has always had iffy front bearing issues, but I was maybe 25,000 miles on one set when at 70 on the highway I felt it drag for a moment and suddenly jerk left… and then it was fine. I knew what happened though, got to a shop as quickly as possible. Brakes pulsed slightly after that and there was a barely perceptible rumble, anyone else probably would have stopped driving it.
Shop test drove it briefly before working on it and thought it would be fine. Just around the block, nothing serious.
And then they almost bent a set of 50 ton press plates trying to get the bearing races off the spindle. Outer bearing was missing the entire cage and one complete roller, apparently it's in the slack space between the spindle and brake rotor but I can't tell, because it's all still in one piece in a box in my garage! Ended up with everything new from the upright outwards.
TLDR it's amazing what can seem fine in the short term, but is actually post-catastrophic. If it locked down again it probably would have snapped the spindle and left me 3 wheeling with almost no brakes.
Why iffy front wheel bearings? Not a damn clue. Multiple shops and multiple brands, none ever made it past 50K and some died at 20… but the current set has well over a hundred thousand miles on them now, go figure. (315K on the truck.)
Think our coffee grinder makes less noise.
technically it's still working …
Thank you Ray for these infomative videos, we now learned that bearing making any noise still lasts a long time, but if it wobbles then it's time to call ungravity shop Ray.
There are people in some countries that can fix such problems with spit and tape. Good for another10k. Click
It's funny that noise happened the same time the radio blew do you think they're connected
But it's true, it has only just started making that noise. It has been making a very similar noise for some time before that though.
I left work a couple of years ago and my rear tire was making a scraping sound like this. It was hitting the dust shield when it rotated. it was quiet on my way to work but I had driven over some small tree debris and figured it just was bent a bit. When I got home I decided to pull the wheel off to get a better look and found my lug nuts were loose. This was mid summer and my wheels had been torqued properly and checked a few times since my winter tire swap. I then checked every lug nut on the truck and all of them were loose. I do my own tire swaps and no mistakes were made. Within a few days, 2 Ram trucks were stolen near my work, including an older one than mine that was parked 100 feet away from mine.
Ray, you “allways” make my day ! Your having a great day ! Replace both bearings fill washer fluid & move on ! LOL
Just slap some grease in the bearings and the customer will be happy
👍
Russ, that was good ! Made me laugh! Thanks, have a great day !
Zachary , I see things like this too often! After 45 yrs. of owning my own shop , I could write a book! Very scary what’s on our roads !
Man just squirt some grease in em. They be good til they drive the wheels off it!
For sure Scary ! In this case “turn your hearing aids up or maybe get some!! LOL
Hey Ray I hear duct tape will fix it ……..that stuff fixes everything……Im all the way over here in the great land of OZ,love ya work keep the great content comming….CHEERS
I'll bet you could feel and hear those bearings
Few more miles in those bearings, thank you Ray.
The bearing may have just collapsed so them saying it just started could be true. I had an old Corolla that made a slight rumbling noise for ages before I replaced the hub, it was a bit dry inside when I pulled it apart but hadn't collapsed yet. To the average driver that rumbling noise could have been anything as it came on so gradually.
Liked and Positive comment for the YouTube algorithm
Ray, I just want to say thank you for your videos. As a DIY'er I enjoy them greatly and have learned much. They have also given me the motivation to get back to work on my motorcycle (1985 Kawasaki Vulcan 700) that I am trying to get back on the road after sitting idle for a few years. Again, thanks and keep posting.
I bet the steering is really precise.
😂Unbelievable! Someone was playing with death☠
Wd40 the crap out of it
I have seen thing similar when I was younger, an older couple that was living not far from me probably knew I was doing some mechanics because I had lot of jeeps in my driveway and when my garage door was open it was visible I was working on something, so the old women pulled in my driveway and asked me to look at her wheel , it was visibly clear that the wheel bearing was gone , the wheel was about at 10 * camber but her husband told her it was good for couple weeks more ! When I lifted the car with the floor jack i was nearly able to remove the wheel it was coming at about 45* angle . It was an horror mechanic his husband did grind the rotor to remove the rust and make them flat , the women told me the brake pedal jump when she brake , when I looked through the rim I wasn’t believing my eyes , too bad it was in early 90 so nothing to record and no YouTube no social media like today ,,, it was in 1991 maybe . I had a computer but it was for some gaming it wasn’t even connected to internet , first time I was on internet was in 1996 .
Wow
I absolutely hate when people put the same clip in multiple videos. So pathetic. Grow up and have some degree of integrity
I brought a New Car back in 1980 , 6 months later the rear
driver side wheel Bearing went bad.
The dealership wouldn't/couldn't believe it. I set them
Straight.
typical corolla owner…. NOT A FKG CLUE and thats why they bought a toyota
