this is the most thorough and impressive auto repair channel ive seen. serious props
Thanks a lot!
I agree with tayzirov. you do an excellent job of explaining things on a level people that aren't mechanically inclined can understand.
Excellent thank you!!!!!!
Love the audio, great quality
@@briantownsend1514 my bearings are both brand new but they still have sound maybe there is no grease inside the wheel hub
This is such an excellent video, honestly too many small details were nailed to list them all but here's a few:
-Straight to the information and very dense without being overwhelming
-Clear, concise, knowledgeable speaker
-Great demonstrations
-Perfect editing
Props. This is so well done that it's more entertaining than 90% of videos that are actually supposed to be entertaining.
Thanks a lot
Wow! You took the words right out of my mouth! (But you did a better job!)
👏👏
First rate, Five Star Video, Chris. Thank you for your excellent videos. No wonder why you have millions and millions of fans!
RL Buffalo, NY
Get off his deick
Reviving an old comment to agree. Very informative, well-made video.
I've never done mechanics in my life and followed your tutorials step by step. You have saved me thousands.
Thank you so much 🤗
I couldn't hear the video over my wheel bearing😂
Lmao
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏾♂️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i think it's fine👍😂
lol
I figured out how Chris got so good at working on cars. He owns all Fords lol
Ahh
He started out with a 90s civic
Can't forget about the corvette
Hilarious 😂
I am NOT a mechanic by any stretch of the word, but i really appreciate how you get detailed in detecting and diagnosing the problems, as well as showing us how to detect them as well. I suspected my bearings were going out on my 2010 Chrysler Sebring, and sure enough, they are. Thank you for this video, as well as how to replace them.
I know I wasnt freaking out when I presented this to my mechanic they told me it was just the air.
I knew that it didnt sound right.
Thank you ChrisFix!
Surprised they didn’t try to tell you it was 4 different things to get as much money outta you as they could
Change mechanic!
You need a new mechanic for sure.
That mechanic doesn't know jack about the importance of bearings.
Chris Fix is the best car-repair video maker I've ever seen! Watched 50 videos last 2 days, and the fast yet thorough professional editing Chris does just absolutely stands out from the rest. All the pertinent info, all the angles needed are shown, but none of the wasted time BSing and yakking. In this video, the fact he showed sound from bad, then good, then bad, good--WOW, exactly what we all need, who doesn't want the optometrist to do that A, B thing just one more time?? ;) Also, showing the bad bearing without play in hand, up near camera for sound, then ON THE CAR. He just goes the extra mile every time. But presents it all in a tight, fast scripted way. Absolutely subscribed! Thanks!
Hey Chris , I must say you are leaps and bounds above any other mechanical advice I find on the internet . Your explanation of issues is simple and precise without a lot of idle talk , you're a pro .....thanks
Thanks a lot!
@@chrisfix You're welcome , right now I'm watching how to replace wheel bearing by you , solid and sound instruction .Chris your channel is worth paying for (ha) I mean it
VERY thorough explanation that's easy to follow and understand. This guy should have a weekly TV show. Well done!
Great Job! My wife didnt want to work on her Jeep Liberty 2012 because we werent exactly sure what was making noise. I had her watch your vid, and she was all "THATS IT!, THATS MY NOISE!" A trip to O'Reily Auto Parts and $240 later, we replaced the bearing/hub. I broke loose all the really tight bolts and she did the rest. We are both in our mid 50's.
Thanks again!
Chris Fix, I'm sure you've heard it a thousand times but I've watched your videos over a decade now starting out as a 15 year old kid helping my parents fix their cars and you still help me to this day! Thank you
Chris fix you are the man, I love how descriptive you are. VERY HELPFUL
Thank you Chris for all your videos. I have fallen on hard times due to layoffs at work and can't afford to pay mechanics anymore to do all my auto repairs and have been watching your videos and others and have saved myself thousands of dollars by now in doing my own repairs. But now I do have a roaring sound in my right front tire and I can move my tire from side to side and up and down on my 20o9 envoy. But now a mechanic friend came over today for a BBQ and I told him and he looked at it and said my outer tie rod is bad also on that same tire. I drive 144 miles round trip 6 days a week to and from work In the country so no stop and go. Anyway I'm going to watch your other video on checking the rods. Thank you for helping guys like me with your videos. Next problem I have to tackle is it runs roughy when you start it lol.
Awesome video. I’m not a mechanic but it helped me identify the issue with my A4. It was spot on diagnostic of front wheel bearing that I even bought the entire hub before I took to my mechanic. Thanks for all your videos and for showing in a way non-mechanis can understand.
As usual, great video. Very thorough... I wasn't absolutely positive it was my wheel bearing on my truck, but I had that exact same roughness when turning my rotor that you showed and I ordered a wheel bearing hub assembly that's coming in next week and now that you showed the exact problem I'm having I'm confident it will fix it!
Thanks, I always go to your videos if I have an issue with my vehicles. Great description, examples and thorough explanations!
Hey Chris,
Thanks for the video brother! I wasn't completely decided that i had a bad bearing in my 05 Malibu but watching your video, clearly showed me that i am 99% right that it is....The sounds and grinding is exactly what i am experiencing.
Cheers, and thanks again.
Chris, great tips on ways of checking for the bearing problem, sometimes its actually very difficult to tell (by sound - hearing) which side it's coming from, another tip, if you have a good temperature probe, the bad bearing will typically run at least 10-20 degrees hotter than normal so if you compare bearing case temp from side to side you should notice something.
You’re the man Chris! You are the only guy that’s mentioned that not all bad wheel bearings have play. Thank you!
You have really helped me. I now believe my mechanic wasnt trying to scam me. This video was so damn good. Many thanks!!!!!!
You put so much effort in your videos men.. Keep up the good work. Really. The contend of your is amazing, I learn new stuff, it's really amazing.
Thank you for being so thorough!!! I just watched a video and the guy had his radio playing loudly while trying to show the noise from the bad bearing!
Thank you Chris. Now that i am an apprentice and work on cars, i get to appreciate your videos a lot more. This was 7 years ago but its good that it is still here for us to watch. Thanks again. 👍
Glad to help! I try to make my videos timeless
Dude. This video is A+. You are a natural.
Lucid - relaxed - thorough.
Keep it up. PS :
Firestone couldn't identify source of thumping / wumping.
Fast tight right turn (like an exit ramp) noise is super loud.
Start my morning with a Chris fix video and corn flakes. The more you know !
Elam Marco That is so awesome!!!!!
Wow, thank you! I never had anybody to teach me this stuff, so glad you give thorough and to the point information. Definitely a subscriber!
Chris, this was a GREAT video. I normally do the work on my cars myself but this one was new to me. I had a suspicion that it was my wheel bearing but it didn't have play so several of the mechanics and friends I spoke with said it must've been something else. However, your video confirms all of the issues I have had. Thanks again.
hands down the best video on how to tell a bad wheel bearing.. ive seen dozens of videos and here you've explained it the best!
Love your channel Chris!
Thanks for all the tips.
Excellent and professional video, congratulation Chris.
As other have mentioned your videos, even being as old as they are, still emacuikate. While the quality has improved a ton. The principles used and basics are still the same and always has me coming back to watch!
excellent tips! Another great way is to spin the wheel while also holding the suspension spring. A bad wheel bearing will resonate through and you will be able to feel it.
I could not hear the unique sound but the physical test is awesome. Thank you so much
Hey Chris, love your videos! Thank you! 53 still learning everyday. Peace..
Awesome video, this has got to be the best description on how to diagnose bearings, ever.
Wish many mechanics in NYC or the country are as thorough as him without trying to pull a fast one on customers!!!
Thank you Chris! Love the tassel hanging on the rear view mirror on the Mercury SUV!!
Awesome video. I've experienced and replaced a few bad bearings in my life and you're right on. Sometimes, the howling noise goes up and down in loudness like a wobble.
Thanks
I've been getting that noise in my Nissan Rogue. I thought it was an engine problem at first, but I watched your video and asked a mechanic and now confirmed it's a wheel bearing issue. Should be a cheaper fix than an engine problem!
I'm glad you're were able to figure out the issue!
It's amazing because I'm in school rn learning about all this but the books and websites they have us using to learn, well they aren't necessarily bad but. I typically look up to see if there's a ChrisFix video on it instead because his videos are WAY more in depth and I understand a lot easier. You truly are the best, thank you!
Awesome! Glad the videos are helpful
Love you man . Very thorough and detailed video . Helped make it easier for when I take the car to the mechanic and tell him what’s wrong instead of me acting like I don’t know and him over charging me for no reason
Very nice video of wheel bearing diagnosis!
Thanks Terry
Excellent information. Thank you for being so thorough.
Thanks a lot! Glad you’re learning a lot and enjoying the videos!
Thanks man that was exactly what I needed to know. I automatically thought my brakes were bad but it’s clearly my bearings. That’s exactly what my wheel sounds like. I think I’ll still do my front brakes and both bearings since I’ll be in there and my brakes are probably needed. Thanks bro
You really do a great job explaining things & the examples you use are really helpful. Thank you.
Chris, great video as always. With your tips, I was able to diagnose, replace, and make my own video on GMC Envoy wheel bearings.
Now that I know and I'm 100% my front wheel bearing is going bad makes hella noise ama try to fix it myself and buy the parts! plus I could use some experience, tired of going to the mechanic. For beginners like me this was so helpful Thank You Chris!!!
Awesome Video! very thorough and professional, keep it up Mr. Chris!
Thanks Chris your video saved me thousands,I'm a middle aged ex-motor head that needed a little clarification and my truck is as good as new.
Differentiating between tie-rod, ball joint AND bearing problem is really nice.
This is an awesome, and helpful video! I have a 08 Cadillac Escalade & the dealership was telling me that it was the Differential Ring and Pinion that was making that noise...
I’m glad the video was helpful!
WOW, don't understand all the downvotes! This video finished putting together all I needed to know after watching a prior video on replacing the bearings. Thanks for the thorough video.
Good job with the videos. Informative, encompassing, excellent information at a great pace. Thank you.
For those who have tried the tests in the video, and still aren't positive they have a wheel bearing issue, this is what I'd suggest. This assumes you have the following:
- Unusual sound (almost like a low throttle exhaust note) which remains even off-throttle.
- It becomes noticeable around 40mph, and gets more noticeable the faster you go.
- Trying to shake the wheel from the 3 and 9 o'clock positions doesn't reveal any play in the bearing.
- There are no alarm codes on the dash
- Can't tell if the wheel is rotating normally or not (especially on RWD cars that have independent rear axles).
For these cases, it would be hard to test them by yourself. In that case, the best option would be to buy a mechanic's stethoscope ($5 at harbor freight), place it on the wheel bearing hub, and compare the sound between the different wheel bearings. If one has a metal grinding sound much higher than the others, it's probably time for a new bearing.
Thanks for the video Chris!
I think this is the most I've ever seen of his face
Exactly!
Honestly, this is like getting the slice of Master Chief's face in Halo 4
ive meet him before, hopefully he doesnt see this lol sorry chris lol
but im imagine david patterson (thatdudeinblue) but really skin and facial hair, not a beard just trimmed
I thought that same thing when you could catch a glimpse in his mirror, lmao the mysterious Chris fix
@Chiggy D for me it’s more like a skinnier version of Tyler Joseph from Twenty One Pilots
Good information Chris! Ive been needing to check two of my vehicles because they both seem to be making more road noise than normal. I didn't really think about spinning the tire. I thought it was just the 12 and 6 wiggle.
Chris deserves everything he is got, he deserves even more subscribers, 10 Milion soon! .. Greetings from Staten Island.
Thank you for your detailed explanation. Very good! Cheers
Thanks a lot Bruno!
Chris. I am new to your Chanel. Have not come across a how to video on how to replace a head gasket. Do you have video on that?
Chris ...... you are such a brilliant mechanic ......God Blessed you Brother
Thanks for putting this up I have an 04 grand Cherokke,and I was told I had a Bad Bearing so I had to Check with you First!Thanks Cris
Wow great information here, for sure it's my wheel bearing
Glad the video was helpful!
@ Chris Fix, thanks for the awesome how to videos!! Do i need to do an alignment after replacing the hub and bearing??? thanks for your time!
It depends if your alignment was off before hand and if your wheel bearing was damaged from pot holes. Usually it’s a good idea to get your car aligned if it hasn’t been done in a while.
I really enjoy your videos. Really good content! Keep making these great videos that are so informative and helpful
I fix everything I can (57) and must admit your format and delivery is both informative thorough and pleasant to listen to why I’m not subscribed is be-on me
Thank u sooooo much chris i finally figured out what that noise is 👍
No problem! Glad the video was helpful!
ChrisFix wasnt expecting a answer haha my first ever response from a big youtuber😆 love ur video's btw
Hey Chris. Another great how to video. I would add that you should have also spun the wheel on other side to hear the good bearing for comparison.
Great video,safety tips also
If it sounds like a train with its brakes on and there is shiny bits in your wheel, it's really bad
Always a badass job at explaining and showing with simple straightforward words. Good job man thanks. I was clueless
Thank you, I found out my Mitsubishi Mirage had a wheel bearing issue that needed replacement so I sent it to my mechanic to get it replaced and also found out my brake pump was leaking..total cost of repair $150
The mechanic was surprised by how I knew it was the wheel bearing so i shared this video with him
Thank you, I plan to put my car up on a jack to do the test. my car sounds like an airplane engine! Being able to tell which side is so important to me because I need someone else to fix it and can't afford to get ripped off. thank you for empowering me.
When you spin the wheel on the Pontiac, i actually realized my wheel bearing must be bad if this is how a bad wheel bearing sounds like. Mine is like...101 the same. Think I'll have to take care of this soon. I know its not the tires cause i switched from summer to winter tires some 3 weeks ago. Noise still keeps bugging me but know i feel like i know for sure.
Good video , needed the info. My ABS light was on for years. Will now check. Thanks
I love that you did that comparison of the noise. Cause I didn’t know this.
Woah I can see part of your face.... I need to sit down and have a glass of wooder...
I had that noise so I took my 2010 Tacoma to the Toyota dealer and they said I had a bad transmission mount. They replaced the trans mount under warranty but that did not fix the problem. It was the wheel bearings. Had to fix it myself. Dont trust them dealers!
+rudedogii can you be sure they changed the tranny mount? Pros are hard to find because people don't want to pay for their expertise. DIY'ers only shoot themselves in the foot because when they need a Pro they are scarce. Had they supported the Pro then he'd be there when needed. Think about it.
***** Yes I checked it out. I dont trust them.
not related to bearings but more about good mechanics. I took my truck in for inspection and mentioned a code that had been thrown and hard 1-2 shift. He said replace or rebuild tranny without looking. He happened to mention what shop he uses for rebuilds. I figured I'd cut the middleman and go there instead. They actually scanned while driving and confirmed my suspicion. Bad TCC valve. They fixed it and works perfectly and for 1/5th the price of rebuild.
+rudedogii At least they didn't just blame your tires for the noise or the brakes for the scraping. I was under warranty and still had to replace both front bearings. their excuse? no play in the wheels.
+ThePariss333 Why would you ask how? You can't trust any body. Why are you even here, you can't trust Chris ether. Are you asleep? Dreaming?
Getting ready to change my wheel bearing in 2 of my vehicles! Sweet video Chris. Think I'm going to purchase that scan tool.
v helpful thank you. Seen lots of people talk about bearings but I’ve never actually seen one or heard what a bad one really sounds like
I'm from Jersey, Chris is definitely a Jersey guy.
This is exactly what my car sounds like right now. Going to try and buy the parts to do this fix myself, I was told front ones are bad but will probably also do the back ones.
How hard was it to dk yourself? Debating on taking to mechanic or doing it myself
Thank you !!! My rav 4 2013 model is roaring like that in front left. Should I go ahead and do both?
Thank you the ABS light is coming on intermittently. Scan the abs code.Someone was telling me they built in warning relays that without a scanner it's wheel hub issue or brakes.
thanks for this...
Good information. Thanks.
A way to identify which front bearing (maybe even rear?) is making noise, is to make turns to the left and right.
If the left front bearing is the problem, the noise will be present when loading that bearing (turning left) and will disappear/lessen when un-loading the left bearing (turning right).
WMichael S Actually, it's the opposite. So, if you turn right you will increase load on left front.
Ooops! Sorry, brain fart. Thanks for catching that!
what about rear bearings? does the turning method affect checking those? i got a very slight sound coming from the rear after getting new tires. the shop drove around and said it might be the bearing but list a bunch of possible replacements such as brakes and rotors, break shoes, parking brake kit, backing plates, bearing, etc. they said it might be the bearing verbally
however i spoke to another experienced mechanic and he said it might just be the brakes and rotors since bearings on my SUV are supposed to last a long time

Good point but please confirm, I am getting noise while driving straight but when I turn right the noise disappear. This noise started coming after I had to hammer out the jammed all four winter tires to put on all season tires. Will appreciate your comments, thanks.
One the best car TH-cam mechanics out… us diyers appreciate you
Thank you Chris! Just subscribed, your channel is fantastic!
Can it be mistaking as a Bent CV axle?? Or possibly cause premature wear on it?
Thanks Chris!
No problem
hello my brand new wheel bearing hub I just put on sounds like it is humming pretty bad I'm upset I just bought a pair of them from A1 auto parts have not replaced right side front yet
This video was super useful! I've been getting a strange noise coming from the passenger rear...and at first i thought my alignment was to blame. But after watching you describe the noise while driving (louder as speed and almost wind sounding); I immediately knew it was my bearing. And sure enough, i jacked it up and have the same looseness that you show when shaking the tire including a terrible squeak noise.
Time to replace the hubs! (in pairs cause duh)
Awesome job diagnosing it! Glad the video helped
Love you man. Thanks for the great videos.! No homo. Easy to follow videos and straight to the point
That’s exactly what mines sounded like thanks for the tip bro
Glad I could help!
Hey @ChrisFix is a bad wheel bearing also when you’re rolling at low speeds and it’s a grinding spinning noise
That's what mine is doing. A growling noise under 35mph. When I turn to the right it quits though. Could it be a cvjoint cause it's 4wd. Or could it be a bearing in the front differential where cvjoint goes in
@@dentondunn4346 mine is the exact same. Did you fix yours and if so what did it take
You earned a new subscriber Chris! Fantastic, informative, and entertaining video!
Hey Chris. Thank you so much for this video. (I have watched alot of your tutorials and they are great). I actually came searching because my nissan Dualis(American= 'Nissan rogue') is making that whining noise when i get to 80km/hr and above. At first i thought it is the engine and then i did a little test by free wheeling down hill at the same speeds and the noise doesn't die down. So thanks again as i now know what to go looking for.
Another way to tell is if your car says "Chevrolet Cobalt" on it anywhere. That's a telltale sign your wheel bearing is going bad. Seriously, went through 3 in 100K miles. Otherwise, under rated car that is really pretty good.
Papi Johnson Hahaha, dang that stinks!
I just got a cobalt today and this is the first video I watched.
GM/CHEVY
for sure
All american made cars are shit. I have owned Toyotas most of my life and have NEVER had a wheel bearing problem. My wife wants a Cadillac, so I buy her one but let her know the transmission won’t last. 40,000 total miles and the wheel bearings have taken a crap. Come to find out, they only warranty them for 12 months. You KNOW they are purposefully installing cheap shit when they only warranty such an important part for 12 months. The replacement bearings ? Warranties for LIFE ! American cars suck horribly.
I have a 2007 manual. I00+K miles never had a mechanical issue short of when someone rear-ended it. Been a solid car.
Finally I thought my engine was going to blow up but it was this loool
Lol spooky car noises
Fricking bad bearing diagnosis clinic! Thanks Chris! Great job as usual.
Spinning the wheel of the Pontiac while on jacks to hear the wheel bearing was something I didn’t know. Thanks for adding it. (Once I thought I had bad wheel bearings, it turns out my new tires were just very noisy.)
What's the difference in noise between a bad wheel bearing and a bad CV joint when doing the road test? Wouldn't mind seeing a video on drive shaft inspection/replacement.
CV joints don't make a constant sound, more like a random clunking. Especially at parking, back and forth.
.หถะ .

Turning right will cause a bad drivers side axle to click. Turning left will cause the passenger side to click.
driver side / passenger side terms are confusing, depends on which country you resides.

Hey ChrisFix, I have an 01 chevy impala and whenever I'm driving it, it'll make a roaring noise. What is making that noise when I drive?
Bad girdle spring
The trunk monkey is hungry
Saved me a bit of money lol, thankfully!
I had a sneaky suspicion it was my caliper (it's old as the car I think) and I think this just confirmed it (gonna check to make sure the tie rod isn't bad first though)
It only makes a weird almost grinding sound occasionally (only started last week after the first real cold rain of the year) when I brake and the lugs were HOT to the touch so I think the caliper finally bit the dust and is stuck
Also interesting bit about the ABS light! I'm gonna have to check that out too, my passenger airbag has been on recall twice so my light is always on but maybe its one of the bearings
Mechanic engineering is a fascinating skill to learn and apply. A really excellent Man's Cave if you get my drift. Chris really remind us on how our dads used to fix their cars back in the 80's and 90's before we got soft.
