Scotty is the first mechanic I’ve ever seen use an electronic stethoscope to find where noises are coming from, all of our local mechanics just guess, and throw parts of the problem, which is why I don’t use any of our local mechanics anymore.
Yes that's the problem they just guess Scotty is actually going through the process of listening to the wheel bearings to see if they're bad and a lot of mechanics just don't have time or patience to do so it's all about the money these days
As always, Scotty provides an education. I would not have thought twice about the noise. It seemed hardly noticeable, but it was probably be different if you were there in person. Thank you, Scotty!
Woah! I had this exact same thing. Shop told me nothing was wrong, but I could hear a weird noise from my right front wheel in left curves. Had them replace the bearings anyways and no more noise. Glad I made the decision instead of listening to the mechanic on that one.
I still have a similar problem with my car, and every mechanic I went to didn't point anything out...The car starts to make a very low and deep rumble sound when going over 75-80 kmph (50 mph I think) and we suspected that could be the front bearings. The seller of the car mentioned it's from the tires but of course it was a lie :)) the sound was still there even after changing to winter tires. I'll totally look into replacing the bearings as well.
A friend of mine had a 2017 Chevy Bolt. The battery died on it with only 12k miles. The dealership told him they could not fix the vehicle even though it was under warranty. Luckily he was about to get a full refund under state law. He said he'll never buy another EV ever and definitely never buy another GM.
Notice how none of the neighbours interrupt Scotty. That's because he's fixing all their cars. They just watch quietly from their windows while they get a free service.
65 years as a mechanic i have found those who know the least think they know everything about everything ..you know the brain deads!!! thank you for helping those who you have helped over the many many years including me!!! you are a mechanic mechanic!!!
Scotty......you amaze me. You ARE an incredible mechanic. I don't know how many times I went to the dealer(1st mistake) with a problem and they couldn't resolve it. Finally found an ACE MECHANIC, much like you. He is straight forward and solves the mystery. I enjoy your posts and the knowledge you put out. Keep up the work you do. You are highly respected. Thanks.
Most of those similar ( like the video bearing ) problems i diagnose with a on the car wheel balancer, let the wheel spin into high revs.. and the noise will come at some point.. you also can jack up the specific wheel with the suspension on load.. never failed..and don,t have to stick your head out of the car.. Best regards from Spain
Scotty, you never cease to amaze me!Your workup on this car beats any job a human medical doctor does on any of his regular customers. If we had physicians like you we would efinitely be much healthier!Way to go!
Just bolt the old one off and bolt the new one on! HA! Try doing that on a car from the northern states, and the hub is rust-welded on. I used a hub buster on one once, and it still took over 200 hard whacks with a mallet to get the old hub off (no sledgehammer available). Great ab workout, though!
Thanks for the video Scotty,! Taking the day off here in Minnesota,. Bad weather to drive to work. Listening to the troubles others are having out on the roads. Sure did cheer me up with this video.
I had a car a few years ago and had very little noise. Then I changed the tyres and the noise was horrendous. That's when I discovered the wheel bearings were worn and had to be changed.
It's actually pretty easy to figure out which side it is. When you turn left the weight of you car shifts to the right and if the sound is louder at that point it is bad on the right side. Now front to back is not too hard usually but I don't have a tip for that
I've had a co-worker's wife's suv rear axle gone bad, because she can't drive & keeps hitting curbs whenever she makes a right turn. I always find a smooth spot for all 4 tires, to do this you need to know where the 4 tires are so you could dodge potholes & curbs. Never had a wheel bearing problem.
When a wheel bearing is making a noise I take it on the highway, turn the steering wheel slightly left then right. If the hum is louder when turning right or left. It's usually the opposite side. If you turn slightly left & it gets quieter it's usually the right wheel bearing & vice versa.
It's funny my 19 250 has the same recall, haven't had it in for any warranty repair since I bought it so it doesn't have any aluminum tape under the the tensioner modules yet. I'm still here and had the same hysterical reaction you had to it!
The Bolt foil solution as as bad as the Ford "piece of sheet metal wrapped around the front strut coil spring" solution. The springs had internal corrosion and would suddenly break, slicing into the tire. A friend's Taurus had this happen when his wife was backing the car out of the garage, luckily she wasn't at speed on the highway.
I miss the old pre-2007 GM. I replaced my front wheel bearings in my 2000 Blazer at 190k miles. They don't make cars like they used to. It's quite sad.
You should have a professional body person look at it because it sounds like it's been wrecked and repaired. But they didn't do the job properly and so the wheels and tires may not be running true across the patch wheel and axle alignment with the body of the vehicle and the front
I would have bet you $$ that when a wheel bearing started going out that it was my left front. I was told it's better to replace both, so I did. It was actually the right front. It really wasn't very expensive to do both. I'm glad I did.
I've has a couple that drove to the shop on fire. Then you need more than a bearing. In the old days there were very few bearing failures as the timken bearings were spaced a few inches apart, and they could be re-greased. Today there are 2 rows of ball bearings close together, way more pressure on close bearings than spaced bearings when you are cornering.
if the roads are bad like they are in parts of CT in the northeast, wheel bearings go at all times on every make and brand. My Toyota and Honda they failed at 140,000 miles. On my Subaru, two of them went at 130,000. Unfortunately, the more potholes you fail to miss or more bumpy roads you have to drive on that need replacement, wheel bearings fail all that more often. It is just something you have to live with no matter what brand car you own.
My 17 Toyota Yaris (French built) had both rear wheel bearing go out. I let them go until they made some real noise. 1st one went at ~50K, 2nd one at ~75K. My 2012 Yaris (Japanese built) had one go out after hitting a curb @ 200K. Sold the car @ 265K When it comes to swapping out wheel bearings, these cassete-style bearings are nice.
Brought one of my cars to a mechanic one time for the same thing. We talked about how long it would have had after I paid for it. He said when it's making that sound, that's your warning to change the wheel bearing.
There’s another post where a mechanic told a lady it could fall off in one mile or 100. She decided to take her chances and it fell off on her way home from the mechanic’s shop.
GREAT video! I have a 20 year old VR6 model which started making fairly loud noises the last few weeks, coming from under the car. It's not the engine or the manual tranny, so we are going to look into this. Another possibility would be tie rods going bad, but I don't know what kind of noise, if any, a failing tie rod would produce.
I have 2 new front hubs for my 2001 Durango to install. The original pair is beginning to him a little. Mines 2wd so it's a fairly simple process and I'll replace the front pads while I'm there, it's time for that too.
Scotty "You-can't-foil-me!" Kilmer hits another homerun! Bravo! Scotty, I went from being a teacher of ESL to a reliability tester to a teacher of Quantum mechanics thanks to Matthewave 935. This object cuts to the chase. Speaking of which, by way of example check out 9:34 if you want to see an example of how well 935 finds the golden nuggets, the priceless gems!
I drove with bad wheel bearings for 3000 miles and made a really bad grinding noise and was told to wait till abs came on never did and needed to be replaced before they fell off was 572 for two of them to replace parts and labor for mercury millan which mecanic said is normal maintenance for them
@@warriormanmaxx8991 The colloquial greeting ended with an exclamation point versus a question mark, and wasn't addressed to you. Yet, you responded, so clearly it worked. Hey friend!🤣
The state of our roads here in Queensland it's a wonder any of our cars still have functioning wheels Thank God they spent our registration taxes so wisely on road maintenance .....
Good one Scotty, my question, if you put the car into neutral on the move isn't risky or dumb to move back into drive, I would think coming to a complete stop then re-engaging the transmission would be best ??
If it's an automatic it wouldn't matter because the fluid mechanical clutch limits the force that can be allowed through the drivetrain. I suppose it could be rougher on your transmission mounts, but other than that, no real problem, your car will shift under load while driving, so it's not really a difference in operation.
Scotty speaks the truth about how difficult it is to ID where a noise is coming from. Took my Acura Integra in for service years ago and told the mechanic the left front wheel bearing was making a racket and prolly needed to be replaced. When I picked it up, he had replaced the worn, noisy *RIGHT* front wheel bearing.😊
My mechanic broke a lug nut off and my wheel would work loose causing it to shake but it made the wheel bearing go out but the car has 240k miles in it so it was due anyways. I just put axles in it. I drive it a lot so I don’t care to work on it parts are super cheap like cheaper then 90% of the cars out there! Both front axles put on was $175 $100 for axles $75 for labor. I did the whole ignition system with iradium plugs and good wires, coils, and a wiring harness all for $75 bucks! That’s why I will never let it go either!
The problem with jacking the car up and spinning the wheel is that the weight of the wheel is carried by the top half of the fixed bearing inner race which may still be in good condition. The damage if any will first appear on the permanently loaded lower half of this bearing and will not be detected by this method but only much later when the whole bearing is damaged. So this method is not good for picking up the problem in it's early stages but only much later. It's still OK if you realise this and treat the sound/vibration as an urgent signal to replace the bearing immediately. (from a professional vibration analyst/engineer who spent much of his life making damage assessments on all sorts of rotating industrial equipment).
I like how Scotty actually goes through and sorts out the source of the noise. My mechanics OTOH say, "doesn't sound serious. Keep driving it and see what happens." 😤
Some of their other repairs are equally hilarious....like chaining the motor to the frame bc of faulty rubber motor mounts that break off without warning.
I know many of the private shops in my local area being that I used to be in the tire business and sold tires to them and many told me hub bearing issues on my Cobalt (don't one anymore) was a transmission issue so yeah people are clueless these days
A good experience mechanic and higher speeds jerking the steering wheel back and forth could tell you which bearing is bad trust me I've been working on cars for decades I've never missed diagnosed a wheel bearing you don't need all them fancy gadgets pretty simple and Scotty says I've done thousands of them
It's funny what you said scotty about the autopart crooks with Park Ave Prices. I just needed one for my (97 Honda) $245??? Really How about ebay for 89.00 Sounds much better
@@donbahn1319 If cars were designed by mechanics they would reduce fuel consumption in the US because they would always be broken down. If you have a plumber perform your heart surgery, good luck in your next life.
I'm high and this dude is an experience. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it, but I definitely do. Especially at 3:42, you can't hear anything but he tried. 😂 Also is straightforward. Seems like he actually enjoys making the videos hahaha
There is a mechanical vibration amplifier built into the suspension of that car on all 4 corners and it costs nothing to use as long as you place your arm and clothing with care.
Seatbelt pretensioners arr like airbag: small detonating apparatus. In the Chevy Volt, they're at the belt spool level in the B-pillar. Pretty sure the metal foil will be behind the B-pillar trim and not visible.
Just when the rear ones in the honda jazz are bust. Its been changed 2yrs ago. And now again. Genuine parts are difficult to find. Everywhere we get chinese made products.
Took my mechanic 2+ weeks to get the parts and 8 hours to get the rusty thing off. 3 months later I abused him with the other side's replacement. I am a mechanic and pretend I didn't know what it was. Now I don't need to do terrible jobs

Yes, letting girls drive your car will destroy it, I can attest to that.
LOL my careless father got me a car one time that had rear wheel bearing so worn you could move tire in and out nearly half foot LOL
His customers are so lucky to have a great mechanic but an honest one too.

for a wheel bearing its fine to just drive it and listen honestly

Just bolt the old one off and bolt the new one on! HA! Try doing that on a car from the northern states, and the hub is rust-welded on. I used a hub buster on one once, and it still took over 200 hard whacks with a mallet to get the old hub off (no sledgehammer available). Great ab workout, though!

For Toyota/Lexus: use SKF hubs with Koyo Japan bearings. It's the way to go as they represent OEM quality. 😃👍
No need to go that route on a 200k car. Cheap parts are good enouvh to last 100k or a few years before major parts or an accident takes out the car.

I did the whole ignition system with iradium plugs and good wires, coils, and a wiring harness all for $75 bucks! That’s why I will never let it go either!
The problem with jacking the car up and spinning the wheel is that the weight of the wheel is carried by the top half of the fixed bearing inner race which may still be in good condition. The damage if any will first appear on the permanently loaded lower half of this bearing and will not be detected by this method but only much later when the whole bearing is damaged. So this method is not good for picking up the problem in it's early stages but only much later. It's still OK if you realise this and treat the sound/vibration as an urgent signal to replace the bearing immediately. (from a professional vibration analyst/engineer who spent much of his life making damage assessments on all sorts of rotating industrial equipment).
I like how Scotty actually goes through and sorts out the source of the noise. My mechanics OTOH say, "doesn't sound serious. Keep driving it and see what happens." 😤
This guy gives me "Back to the Future" vibes....I see you Doc
I'm so happy I was laughing as much as Scotty at the end. "GM help me I need to prevent a fire" GM: Here use this metal foil
Some of their other repairs are equally hilarious....like chaining the motor to the frame bc of faulty rubber motor mounts that break off without warning.
Doesn't matter. Today's GM cares about Diversity and ESG scores.
I just had this happen on my Merc Marquis. My mechanic found it and it is smooth as butter again!
I know many of the private shops in my local area being that I used to be in the tire business and sold tires to them and many told me hub bearing issues on my Cobalt (don't one anymore) was a transmission issue so yeah people are clueless these days
A good experience mechanic and higher speeds jerking the steering wheel back and forth could tell you which bearing is bad trust me I've been working on cars for decades I've never missed diagnosed a wheel bearing you don't need all them fancy gadgets pretty simple and Scotty says I've done thousands of them
It's funny what you said scotty about the autopart crooks with Park Ave Prices. I just needed one for my (97 Honda) $245??? Really How about ebay for 89.00 Sounds much better
Scotty, remember: Some engineers are fast, and some engineers are slow, but many are half-fast.
Don't forget half-assed
@@hyperwebbing - do you state the obvious much in daily life, too?? ("half-fast's" meaning was understood)
@@hyperwebbing hhhhhh😂😂😂 nice one right there
most engineers do not understand what they think they know.
@@donbahn1319 If cars were designed by mechanics they would reduce fuel consumption in the US because they would always be broken down.
If you have a plumber perform your heart surgery, good luck in your next life.
Love it Scotty, always bring a smile to my face. 😁
"Norton"!!!! Humina humina humina...."Hey Ralfie Boy!".....
Grandpa Kilmer back at it! 🔥
Hi Scotty! You mentioned The Red Green Show. Didn't think you got that show. Probably when you lived in Ont.
I have never in my long life seen discount auto parts store.
Scotty you are enjoyable and funny.
Keep up your awesomeness!
I would recommend comparing one bearing to the other.
I swear Mr Kilmer keeps me sane.
I'm high and this dude is an experience. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it, but I definitely do. Especially at 3:42, you can't hear anything but he tried. 😂 Also is straightforward. Seems like he actually enjoys making the videos hahaha
Better than real job c easier
New tires Thank. Tires can also make sound like wheel beeings
Red Green Reference, +1 Rep points
Thanks. Learning a lot with your videos. Suprised you knew about red green show. KEEP YOUR STUCK ON THE ICE!
There is a mechanical vibration amplifier built into the suspension of that car on all 4 corners and it costs nothing to use as long as you place your arm and clothing with care.
Seatbelt pretensioners arr like airbag: small detonating apparatus. In the Chevy Volt, they're at the belt spool level in the B-pillar. Pretty sure the metal foil will be behind the B-pillar trim and not visible.
Toothless Scotty is based...
Scotty a radial tire separation will cause a noise as well
Well, that bonus question & answer was so funny... I unbuckled my seat belt and fell off the seat ! LOL
Just when the rear ones in the honda jazz are bust. Its been changed 2yrs ago. And now again. Genuine parts are difficult to find. Everywhere we get chinese made products.
Damn... Scotty's laugh is contagious 😅😅😅😅😅
idk but scotty makes me feel safe, thank you scotty!!!
This was my absolute favorite video of urs scotty
Took my mechanic 2+ weeks to get the parts and 8 hours to get the rusty thing off. 3 months later I abused him with the other side's replacement. I am a mechanic and pretend I didn't know what it was. Now I don't need to do terrible jobs
Really don’t understand Scotty why you never ever put a lift in your garage?
2:57 damn that rim sounds like an LS
Thanks for keeping it real Scotty 👍
An idea came up to me, wouldn't it be good to listen on the other side too? To compare the noises.
Pointing a laser thermometer at the wheel bearings after a good drive is your best odds of figuring out which one's bad in my experience.
I heard Scotty's intro at 2:58
This is cool. I need these listening devices.
I'd change both.
If you don't like the noise turn the radio up
Send more gum wrappers...the Bolts are line up in the service bay!
