@@orlandogarcia9751 It's called explaining something first. If he just drove it for 30 seconds, people would fucking whine about him not being detailed enough.
This video is still the best one I’ve found, concerning a bad bearing in my car. Even though The video is seven years old no one has been able to do such a simple video. It shows that people who are mechanically minded average people, can make it easier for the general public to understand. I wish people had a more general public mindset, so that they could teach others easily like this video has.
Thank you for posting this! This cleared up a lot of confusion on my apart and affirmed my mechanic's verdict that my problem is indeed the wheel bearing and NOT the clutch.
Thanks man! Helped me a lot. Had everybody telling me it was an exhaust problem until I watched this video...saved me 150 on an exhaust check at the shop 😁
Yup, that is definitely the noise. And, also the fact that when you sway to the right or left, the roar increases or diminishes. In my situation, bearing left, it gets louder, bearing right, the noise decreases. Excellent video! Thanks
That's an excellent video. This is EXACTLY the same sound and symptoms my 2000 S10 has going on right now. Not quite this bad but the revving sound and increased intensity at higher speeds is pretty much identical to the issue my truck is having right now. Thanks for putting this up!
This is almost exactly what mine sounds like. Mine must be the left because me and my girlfriend went out and she didn't mention it. By the way, don't pay attention to these negative comments. You posting this was helpful to me.
@@javierlopez5849 Was the problem a wheel bearing like the guy in this video said? I have the same sound and symptoms and want to make sure that is the problem.
My 2006 Nissan Altima sounds exactly like this, and I was bugging out thinking I was going to have to spend money on getting the transmission fixed !!!! I’m glad I stumbled upon this vid
Extremely helpful! Sometimes it's hard to pinpoint what side the bad bearing is on if there's no play in it. First time I've ever seen anyone show this troubleshooting tip...awesome, thanks!
Thank you for a great video! Muffler noise sometimes got confused with wheel bearing noise. But the last part of your video of turning left and right, it is a "Superior" demonstration the wheel bearing noise. Please keep up the good work!
I did the same thing on my daughter's Rav4 and got the same results. Glad you made this video so I knew my idea was right on. Thanks for taking the time to do this vid.
I just got my car fixed, and wanted to be reminded of how it was, this is perfectly how mine sounds lmfao. Passengers in my car would be like “yo is your car about to blow up?” Or “do you hear a motorcycle?”
Thank you for this my 3rd gen 4 runner started making this noise a couple days ago. Thank you so much I’m gonna replace from wheels bearings I’m praying the growling will stop! Thank you sir!! Please keep doing what you’re doing helping the people who can’t afford to lose an arm and leg for a diagnosis. May god bless you forever 🙏
Thank you so much for this! I thought I was the wheel bearing on my car, but the worrier in me was convinced it was the engine about the blow up! Thankfully, when I described the issue to my mechanic, they were convinced it was a wheel bearing. This video pretty much confirms it as this is exactly the same sort of noise I heard over the weekend. You've saved me a lot of worry and anxiety!
My dealership just told me I needed a new bearing and I thought it sounded suspect...so I listened to this and yep - thats what my car sounds like. Thanks!
I was in debate over whether the noise on my crown vic was related to a bad differential or the drivers side wheel bearing. The noise in this video is practically a carbon copy of what I’m hearing, being a deep hum that increases in pitch relative to speed, though mine is MUCH more faint than this. Wheel bearing area began spewing axle grease so now im certain I’ll need a new wheel bearing and a new hub seal. Definitely glad I found this video because I was worried that i had a bad pinion shaft, but found out that the pinion shaft noise is way different! Thanks again!
This is an excellent video! I don't know what it would have cost to have this confirmed by a mechanic but that step is completely unnecessary now. What you did in this video is exactly what my car does. Thank you... Now to figure out how to replace it! 🤔
Thank you for the vid! This helped me confirm my wheel bearing problem (already identified after maintenance). Wasn't so sure, until you started driving and your car made the EXACT same deafening sound my car makes when accelerating. Mine starts above 80kmph.
The change in sound is more from the change in lateral loading than weight relief. Sometimes one side of the race gets started with pitting and goes to heck while the other race stays relatively smooth, hence the difference in sound pushing right and left. Excellent video. Informative and not a time waster. Thumbs up and subscribing now :-)
I had such a hard time putting into words what I was experiencing. The dealership says this but explained it in a way I thought they were crazy and no way my isssue. This video confirms what I have been explaining and now I feel better about them doing the work. Ty !🎉
This is the best wheel bearing noise video that I have watched, now I know for sure that the wheel bearings in my 20 year old Honda Jazz are toast. Thank you friend.
Honestly thank you, I’ve been blessed with a Dodge Journey and started hearing this noise and was bracing for the worst. This brings me closure to my stress to know it’s not something serious. Cheers man.
This helped me diagnosed my issue!!! Thank you so much for posting! It’s so hard to describe a noise that I was struggling to Google the right things - “motorbike noise” “growling noise”, “airplane noise”, but “drone” led me to this video!
This was very helpful! My Jetta is making some noise, but I also have new winter tires and had to have my catalytic converter removed, so it's just a straight pipe. My son was saying it might be my drivetrain, but the sound my car is making doesn't match the description. My car sounds quite loud, but it doesn't get worse as I drive faster and it doesn't change when I move the steering wheel. I may have to take it to a garage and have it looked at. Thanks for posting!
All this time I thought it was my exhaust getting worse and worse! I even had estimates on my exahust done! Only to find out it's the front left wheel bearing. I never ever would've associated that growling sound with something wheel related. Amazing.
I’m having the same problem Ive already replaced the exhaust system now I’m thinking of checking out my wheel bearings 😳 hopefully it’s the wheel bearing
Wow. I did this test. When I turn left the bearing noise quiet down. I thought it was the right rear because there was more weight on it when it was the rear left lifting off the ground getting quieter. 8 years later, still valuable
I've also had a wheel bearing sound like a wobble board. Common causes are pot holes hitting curbs at speed. The passenger side is always curb side so it also wears out quicker as it's exposed to all the dirt, debris and water along the curb.
Wowwww Amazingly I finally heard the sound of my car that I was hoping for, this is exactly how my car sounds when driving on the road, the more you speed up the louder it gets. And worst of all, there's one thing that I do not see anyone mentions on this issue, it just that when you're driving, it kind of holding the car from moving faster while making the loud noise.
@@kh-wg9bt hello I have the same issue and was wondering the wheel hub thanks for the post. I thought that wheel bearing would be constantly grinding. But mine is doing this same sound vuvuvuv sound.
@@mayramanriquez5700 it's the wheel hub bearing you drive daily so you won't notice the sound until it gets loud .when you fix it it sounds like a new car compared to how it sounds before
UNBELIEVABLE 💥💥....I wish you could see the look on my face after going to THREE mechanic shops...I am a female and I know the normal sounds of my car I knew something was wrong ...that sound on this video is exactly what my car sounds like!...😣😫 sad I had to search out my answer myself on TH-cam ...glad and grateful I found your channel now I know for sure ❤
The noise change while steering *may* indicate which side is faulty. However, wheel bearings are double ball bearings. Depending on whether the inner or outer is worn will affect this test. It's why I always quote for both bearings. IME, they fail within a few thousand miles of each other anyway.
You broke it down so quickly! This problem started today for me and it sounded like a growl (your exact words )thank you very much I had no idea what was going on I thought it was my engine making that noise
Thank you so much!!! I’ve been trying to figure out the noise my van has been making. It’s been to two different mechanics and I told them exactly what you said in the video and neither one of them said anything about a wheel bearing!
This really helped me identify the problem with my Audi A5. It seems my front right bearing is shit too and I’m glad it wasn’t a problem with the engine or god forbid the transmission. I can finally rest my head easier at night knowing what my issue is
Most likely because people don't expect to view a 3 minute video to hear a 5-10 second noise. A lot of these auto videos are longer than they need to be. Just a thought. Thank goodness for stonktusk for indexing the video to when the noticeable noise actually started at 2:33. Cheers!
My car makes that noise as well and you are the only one on youtube putting the name and the example so we dummies can understand. Accept my like with all the gratefulness on it!
Not only do bad wheel bearings make that sound but they also make a grinding spinning sound underneath the gas pedal. $40 each bearing and $160.00 for the labor because they use a special machine to press and put them in.
Have a Chevrolet avalanche and it’s making very loud noise not only it’s the wheel bearing , but it’s making noise near the gas petal. So I have to get it towed too the shop ,because of the special machine has to put them on.
@@davidtravolta5293 Yeah it’s frustrating had just got a full brake job done two weeks ago got everything replaced. Now this happened at the wrong time start noticing when I was driving working real loud noise. I’m over it. Have to get it done though.
Thank you for the video. I have a similar sound that I thought was an exhaust manifold gasket leak, until I was driving turned my steering wheel slightly to the left and noticed the the sound all but disappeared and reappeared after I straightened the steering wheel. Live and learn.
Fighters Entertainment Network lol same thing happened to me lol but I just got back from the mechanic I fixed all front bearings and hub like the Nissan told me and the noise is still there now my mechanic has told me it’s the back right and not front left like Nissan told me😔😡
This is exactly how my wife's Honda civic 2012 sounds. I am pretty upset why my Honda's bearings went bad even though it's barely driven n it has only 92k km while my Toyota matrix 2009 and Corolla 2013 has 190k and 160k km still hasn't changed anything except oil+filter. I am not big fan of Toyota but I have to accept when it comes to reliability Toyota strands #1
FOR ANYONE WHO HAS THE SOUND, BUT CHANGING THE WHEEL BEARING DID NOT MAKE IT GO AWAY, MY NOW NEW MECHANIC HAS FOUND THE ANSWER TO MINE AND MAYBE IT WILL HELP SAVE YOU HUNDREDS!!! I thought for months it was my wheel bearing, other mechanics told me it was too. But I took it to another guy at a shop in a gas station self owned by himself, and he said it wasn’t that. It was my back shocks and needed new wheels they had wave like appearance and feel to them that was causing the exact noise of a wheel bearing it imitates so similar it is hard to tell! Please make sure you know what it is first DONT just go by noise!! Feel the inside wear of your tires
"I thought for months it was my wheel bearing" Bro you drove for months with your car making that noise? Do you realize what happens when a wheel bearing fails? "It was my back shocks" you got taken for a ride m8. Tires I can believe, shocks? Lmao get out of town.
It’s called doing what you hve to when you don’t have $ to fix it but need to work/get around to keep food on the table for your family. Not everyone has the luxury of paying installments or having a savings/extra cash on hand for emergencies. Life happens. Nice try trying to bring a complete stranger down though, but doesn’t work with me mate.
iirc, when my roommate's bearings kept going bad we would also notice the vehicle slowing down at low speeds (or premature deceleration?). Hard to explain, but definitely noticed the vehicle slowing down on it's own when it wasn't supposed to. Instead of gliding like normal until putting pressure on the brake to stop. Once this gets really bad it WILL start smoking and has the potential to catch fire due to metal-on-metal friction. Which is very hard to cool down with water because it IS metal which is hot and it's hard to actually get water to the source of the heat. Not to mention, a drastic change in temperature w cold water hitting hot metal has the potential to cause even more damage (temp shift cracking of metal, etc) when this happens. My advice if it gets really bad. Don't drive it! Get it fixed asap. Better than it catching fire or causing more damage which will cost much more money.
Wish I could’ve found this video before. Our car has been making that sound for four months now and we were thinking it was a transmission issue. Took it to the mechanic, and thankfully I’m honest one, and told us what it was. Big surprise, still a costly fix but not like that of a bad transmission
The easyist way to determine bad wheel bearing is just jack up your car spin the wheel and touch the shock absorber plate near in the top of your tire and you can feel rough while the wheel is rotating.
This is hands down the best video demonstrating the noise associated with a bad wheel bearing. Very helpful, thank you.

$340?? I'll do it myself on my car. I ain't paying that much lol
Wtf that's a wheel bearing going bad?!?! I was worried mine were but there isnt anything like this
That video explain what I looking for extractly. Thank you. Very helpful. Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰❤️
I wish I watched this video sooner! This is exactly what my car sounds like, so I probably have bad wheel bearings. thank you!
Wait, thats NOT my engine? You sir, are the cure to my anxiety😅🤘
Yes I felt the same when I went to the autoshop and the guy said it was the bearing. I was driving with this noise for like 4 months
@@ConanObrien22 how much did it cost to fix?
Thats how my car sounds!!!
I had a feeling my wheel barring was going bad and this video confirms it thank you so much.
Thanks for the video. I'm new to automotive repair and this was helpful in diagnosing my issue.
This is exactly how my wife's Honda civic 2012 sounds. I am pretty upset why my Honda's bearings went bad even though it's barely driven n it has only 92k km while my Toyota matrix 2009 and Corolla 2013 has 190k and 160k km still hasn't changed anything except oil+filter.
I am not big fan of Toyota but I have to accept when it comes to reliability Toyota strands #1
ive had one replaced on my 2009 Tacoma at arround 195k miles and im gonna need another one replaced and im at 206k miles now
That depends on a lot of factors not the brand of car
@@kyoakland you do realize this isn't just a thing for me specifically the average milage lifespan of a Tacoma is arround 300k
FOR ANYONE WHO HAS THE SOUND, BUT CHANGING THE WHEEL BEARING DID NOT MAKE IT GO AWAY, MY NOW NEW MECHANIC HAS FOUND THE ANSWER TO MINE AND MAYBE IT WILL HELP SAVE YOU HUNDREDS!!! I thought for months it was my wheel bearing, other mechanics told me it was too. But I took it to another guy at a shop in a gas station self owned by himself, and he said it wasn’t that. It was my back shocks and needed new wheels they had wave like appearance and feel to them that was causing the exact noise of a wheel bearing it imitates so similar it is hard to tell! Please make sure you know what it is first DONT just go by noise!! Feel the inside wear of your tires
"I thought for months it was my wheel bearing"
Bro you drove for months with your car making that noise? Do you realize what happens when a wheel bearing fails? "It was my back shocks" you got taken for a ride m8.
Tires I can believe, shocks? Lmao get out of town.
You got played by that mechanic 😂, shocks don’t make noise and if ur tires had a wave in them you would feel it, as if ur wheels where unbalanced.
@@JarthenGreenmeadow tires you would feel the waves, There’s no way it was the tires.
Actually, it was the issue. Noise gone and everything passed inspection after and no issues since. But nice try bud 👍
It’s called doing what you hve to when you don’t have $ to fix it but need to work/get around to keep food on the table for your family. Not everyone has the luxury of paying installments or having a savings/extra cash on hand for emergencies. Life happens. Nice try trying to bring a complete stranger down though, but doesn’t work with me mate.
Thank you this clarified my doubt between a bad tyre(the rubber has wear off and a few of the wire seen) or bearing
Thank you for this video! Couldn't figure out what was wrong with my RSX until I saw this, then I knew exactly what it was
iirc, when my roommate's bearings kept going bad we would also notice the vehicle slowing down at low speeds (or premature deceleration?). Hard to explain, but definitely noticed the vehicle slowing down on it's own when it wasn't supposed to. Instead of gliding like normal until putting pressure on the brake to stop. Once this gets really bad it WILL start smoking and has the potential to catch fire due to metal-on-metal friction. Which is very hard to cool down with water because it IS metal which is hot and it's hard to actually get water to the source of the heat. Not to mention, a drastic change in temperature w cold water hitting hot metal has the potential to cause even more damage (temp shift cracking of metal, etc) when this happens.
My advice if it gets really bad. Don't drive it! Get it fixed asap. Better than it catching fire or causing more damage which will cost much more money.
How do u fix it tho?
Mine is in connection with acceleration, everything else is the same though, with the exception that it only growls when I'm on the gas.
Thank you so so much. This is the noise that I have been searching for.
Wish I could’ve found this video before. Our car has been making that sound for four months now and we were thinking it was a transmission issue. Took it to the mechanic, and thankfully I’m honest one, and told us what it was. Big surprise, still a costly fix but not like that of a bad transmission
I thought that noise was my engine for a long time
The easyist way to determine bad wheel bearing is just jack up your car spin the wheel and touch the shock absorber plate near in the top of your tire and you can feel rough while the wheel is rotating.
My suspicion is confirmed thanks to your video sir. I definitely have a bad wheel bearing in my Honda CR-V. EXACT same noise. Thank you!
I couldn't hear it until you steered back and forth. Thanks for posting this.
