Just swapped passenger one in my wife's golf, noisy as hell, they were not too bad money even for the real article so I swapped both right and left (also was not positive which side was bad, I guessed pax based on noise change while cornering and was right, but it was very slight) the bad bearing felt smooth and had I not had the other side and the new ones to compare I would have sworn it was good. but it took about 2x the effort to turn as a good one and once changed noise was gone. Total crap shoot, this cars at 90k, my 230k vw wagon has never had a new wheel bearing, and its got the bigger rims, who knows.

Never understood why the torque setting was so high on the axle nut. Its splined, so it won't spin. And after seeing enough crazy accidents where front end parts go flying, either the CV joint pulls apart (the only thing holding it together is the boot, or the axle pops out of the transmission. And if the axle nut does come loose, it'll make a rattling sound before anything catastrophic happens because the axle assembly is trapped in between the rotor and the transmission. Just an observation.

If you had used a Milwaukee cordless impact you could have had enough extensions on it to take the bolt out from your living room without losing any torque at all! My Dewalt cordless impact actually GAINS torque with extensions! I haven't found a single bolt that could even come close to challenging my Makita cordless impact! When I walk into the garage with my Hercules cordless impact, the bolts just jump out on their own out of sheer terror!

I live in the central valley of California and saw a pickup from your wonderful state of New York parked next to me. Probably a 70s model, and never have I seen such case of rust up close. Fenders. Door bottoms rocker panels, bed, wheel wells. Completely gone. If they drove it from New York it was pure luck. Sheet metal patches screwed to the bed keep the bed on. Wow! Never seen that except on your show. Which is excellent, keep them rolling.

Have you found a new mechanic to mentor besides helping Ray out in his new adventure. There will probably be lots of questions on paperwork. No more 7am to 3: 30pm or holidays for Ray, at least for awhile. It's getting outrageous at how much parts keep going up, you would think prices would be coming down with aftermarket manufacturers starting to catch up. It's getting to the point up here it's cheaper to go to the dealer then buy aftermarket.

My son recently replaced both axles on my 2011 Honda Odyssey. Having watched you do multiple axles and wheel bearings, I wanted to put some fluid film on the inside of the part where the axle goes like you did in this video. He said we shouldn t. He s an apprentice mechanic, level 2 (so he has one more year before he can get licensed. So I wanted to know why this might be okay or why some might say not to do this. Thanks!

Would a bad wheel bearing only make noise once you get upto 45 50mph? I got 4 new tires and now I'm battling a tire shop about what I think is a tire issue because the car only makes the noise at higher speeds and only gets louder with speed. To me it clear as day what the sound is, but my brakes are on the cruddy side and are make a bit of noise, so they claim they can't tell what the sound is until I get new brakes.

Hey there Eric. I'm down here in Kentucky and yesterday I smacked a deer with my Bronco on the road. I took the liberty of sending you the hindquarters so Vanessa can toss it on the stove at the shop there and maybe you would be so kind as to put it in one of your videos. It's in a big plastic wrapped bag and it should be hitting the old PO box there in a day or two. Enjoy.

I always use the carwash at Mobil stations here in Illinois. They have touchless with the undercarriage douch. Also have a couple of spray cans of fluid film around. My mechanic say the undercarriage looked like new at my last oil change. My Outback is 10 years old and always driven in northern illinois but always washed and garaged.

My 2005 Toyota Corolla right rear hub assembly was replaced in the spring. The sound was awful especially on the highway. The faster u went the louder it got. It was loud. My mechanic had a hell of time getting it off. Sledge hammer and heat. It was on there good. I was glad when it was fixed lol

Looks like the old right rear, did it smack a curb in the passed? The right rear takes a lot of punishment from nails and other stationary objects. As always another great video, even though I ve been a master mechanic myself for 38 years I still learn new tricks, Thank You Eric.

Way easier than front wheel bearings on my daughter's 03 Outback. Didn't involve a hydraulic press or a torch. Thanks to you I got it done though. You showed me the tip of getting the race off of the hub with a torch. Worked like a charm. Thank you Eric O!

After it was so nice to you, I thought you'd spray the hub, and backing plate with fluid film. Especially where you ground off the crusty-rusty.
. How do you distinguish the CV joint being bad, or the wheel hub bearing being bad.

I just did the front bearings on the wife s 2002 Liberty Sport, they were so seized on I had to use the cutting torch to get them off, your right about domestic auto makers they could ve used some ingenuity back then.
