Is your car or truck making a howling noise while driving? In this video, Sue shows you how to diagnose a wheel hub or bearing! That howling or grinding noise you can hear while your car or truck is rolling is a worn out or damaged wheel bearing. Your first symptom of a bad wheel bearing will be the noise. Eventually, there might also be a wobble, which will come with vibration and excessive tire wear. With either of these symptoms, you'll definitely need to replace the bearing! Check out this video to learn all about wheel bearings!

Sometimes they can give a wobble noise before the howl. Mine came on after getting all new tires. The heavier new tires were the straw that broke the camel's back and immediately brought on the noise. Naturally since it cane on with new rubber, I was convinced it was from a defective tire and so was my mechanic because we couldn't get any noise or movement on the lift, but it was very loud while driving We rebalanced and rotated the tires. The noise was still coming from the same spot. So I gambled and chaned the bearing. Problem solved. And even though it did not make noise while spinning the wheel on the lift, when we got it out, and spun it on the workbench we heard the grinding. Go figure?
We couldn’t hear the noise because you kept talking while driving the car.Other than that nice video. Thank you
I love her sense of humor and how incredibly thorough she is! "But it should be fine" had me rolling. Very good video, Sue.
Im a sexist a hole. I never woulda thought the best explanation and instructions would come from a woman like this. I am hands down impressed. Great informative video, more in depth than any I have seen on the subject.
Thank you for this in-depth video. Very educational
Great vids, I salute you. You are one of a kind who is mechanically inclined and knowledgeable, keep rocking.
The best , most involved video on TH-cam regarding wheel bearings and hubs.
Ty
Very very good explanation, truly respect what you guys do. Thank you.
I love this channel,I love her humor and I love her ❤❤❤.
She's the best mechanic lady on YT.
Mi, Zolik, tartsunk össze ;-)
Love this video, Sue is awesome. So knowledgeable and able to help me learn, great teacher
Excellent Sue! Thank you! With this video anyone should be able to diagnose & repair wheel bearing problems.
I love this channel, you guys are so thorough. I wish you guys were here, I would wholeheartedly trust you guys with my car.
RIGHT.. I WOULD BE LOST WITHOUT THEM!
Love your 1a auto site, very pro love watching it
Excellent video…well done!
terrific video - thank you
Another great video! Very educational. Thanks Sue.
Amazing, clear, detailed. channel subscribed!
Really love your videos. Thank you
Excellent video once again. A very capable teacher and mechanic.
GREAT SHOWING AND TELLING HOW TO DO DO THE COMPLETE JOB. GREAT LADY TECK.....
Nice video--well done. THANKS 😊
I enjoy videos by this channel in general, but I really liked this one. I really liked the educational feel to it.
I love your videos. I had my CV axles replaced and afterward, I did hear howling noise at high speed, also at 40mph there is sound like a distant helicopter. I believe they probably over torqued the CV Axle nut. I noticed less MPG and the car at hwy speed did not coast like it used to, it slowed quickly when off the gas. So I think my wheel hub/bearing is damaged. Over time it does seem to have improved but not normal. Is it worth loosening and re-torqueing the nut or is the damage done.
Was starting to hear the "howling" from the front of the truck. Got home and measured the rotor temperatures as close to the axle as practical. Truck was just parked with wheels on the ground. Using a hand held infrared thermometer, driver's side was 90F, passenger side 140F. Wasn't sure if it was binding brake pad or wheel bearing, but I knew which side needed work. Turned out to be wheel bearing.
Another 10..
Very well done..
I needed that information. Gracias.
Hello can't thank you enough. My 2014 Ram was making same noise for about 6 months. I watched your video and took it to a mechanic and now its fixed. Bad bearing.
Love how you explain and show a proper working part..and a non proper working part...best way to teach..
Great video!!! I miss the daily videos!!!
If I had my dial indicator and mag base, I would check for run out. Won’t a bad knuckle cause premature failure of a WB? Thanks. Great presentation.
I've always been VERY curious. How exactly does a damaged hub cause damage to the inner race of the bearing? Unless the hub itself is acting as the inner race which doesn't seem to be the case?
VERY EDUCATIVE. THANK YOU REGARDS
I love your precise and clear explanations as what why when who them him her 🤣. Excellent content 👌🏾 to say the least. Keep em coming!!!
Awesome channel, like the explanation along with the description.
Excellent info and presentation, thank you!
Hi, Sue. Have enjoyed your work for years. Thanks.
Excellently explained!
Glad i found this, thank you.
Great video. It definitely refreshed my memory. I learned so much. Thank you. Much love ✌️💛
+Elizabeth Pena Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
I’m a fan of this Chanel and SUE 😇
She's very informative accompanied with a nice personality. Thanks Much, 1A Auto.
I had a bad bearing in my Camry and it made that noise. Thought it was the front right hub bearing because I hit a curb. Took it to a mechanic. Turns out it was the rear right. Glad I didn’t try to do it myself because when driving it 100% sounded like the noise was in the front. The mechanic did great work for me before. Used a stethoscope and determined it was 100% coming from the rear even though he agreed it sounded like it was in front while driving. If I tried to DIY I would’ve ended up replacing the wrong part!
You are the best Sue😀
I bought TRQ front hub and bearing set for my Chevy 2500HD, from you folks. Put them in to specs. Now 2500 miles later they are whining like crazy. Have not yet started to wobble thank goodness. They were replaced under warranty, but I'm afraid to put them in, I don't want to be doing front hubs every 2500 miles. Probably end up spending more and put in moogs.
Thank you, Sue!
Great diagnosis
You are awesome Sue
Great information. This woman knows her stuff!
Well done video!!
Awesome mechanic skills! Wish you guys and gals were in Los Angeles!
+Dee Gee Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Great tutorial .
I love this channel! Awesome to see a female mechanic!
For some vehicles Napa carries an entire knuckle with a bearing and hub already pressed in. Makes wheel bearing replacement a lot easier when the bearings are press in.
To diagnose AWD, should the lift be done as follows for spin test: all 4 wheels at the same time, just front or rear wheels at the same time, or individual wheel?
Great video! Very knowledgeable and good teacher.
Just started a howling noice forming from the front end. 2015 gmc Sierra. Never had a howling noice before. So ima get in jacked in the air and take a better look at the front end/wheel bearings.
Why was she talking I couldn’t even hear it
This was excellent!
Thx again Sue ur the best 😊
Great video 👍
Great video
Excellent advice, especially the torque specs of the wheel hub, how many times I've seen under or not at all. Same with the wheels, yes I know time is money but use some common sense.
I was not aware of the potential problem of over tightening the wheel bearing by using the impact wrench for the axle nut. If I have over tightened should I back it off and verify the torque or is the damage done and the hub assembly need to be replaced?
Over tightening with a impact gun will also set your ABS light on that hub. I found out after 6 months of trying to diagnosis my ABS light. Replaced a CV axle and tightened with a impact gun on the axle nut . Squeezed the axle into the hub and threw off my wheel sensor and tire speed. Lesson learned. Also you should replace your axle nut each time you remove it.
That’s what she said
I appreciate this video I thought maybe I. Had a CV joint problem but until.i saw this I know now that it's a ball bearing problem. How much would this job cost me
Good video
Thank you for showing me how to switch it out.
Thanks for the video. I'm trying to diagnose
(amateur mechanic) a vibration coming from
the front driver side of my vehicle. I'm
starting to suspect a wheel bearing also after
seeing your video. May try what you did with
the vehicle in the air. Thanks man!
I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW TODAY, TORQUE. THANK YOU....
great video
Thank you for the great information, really helpful.
Thanks you are the best ❤️🙏👍👍
This is one of the best explanation of a wheel hub assembly
Really complicated, but I'm getting the gist of what should happen. Very thorough mechanic. I wished she was near me. I'd book her in a heartbeat, if she was free! ❤. Probably has clients for three months in advance!🥰🤗😍.
Great info
So nice to see 1A putting a little focus on diagnostics.
Agree. Good to see you still active Spelunkerd.
Stay gold.
i really like watching her! she's very knowledgeable.
Thank you from heart brother and friend from iraq
This is more informative than i thought it would be...nice.
Thank you for sharing your videos and knowledge. Would you also have a video on CV axle that happens to be making noise or around that area?! Cuz I have a 2015 Subaru outback 3.6R that when I am turning left, I hear a clicking sound noise. Not so much louder than turning to the right. Thoughts please. Thank you in advance.
i've seen a video on here by someone else showing the clicking while turning sound caused by a bad axle. search bad axle clicking
what if your truck f 150 has a jingling sound along with an intermittent scraping coming from the tires as you drive. barely heard it when 20 miles from destination then when a couple of miles to destination it was getting load, you can hear it through all the traffic going by.
Can you add grease to a sealed wheel bearing or only open wheel bearings?
Thank you for a great video. My 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe was making noise from front end, so suspected wheel bearings. No wheel wobble, so wondered what was causing the noise. Rotating the suspect wheel did not make much noise, because not many RPM. Jacked all car up and ran engine to turn wheels. The vibration in the strut spring was the deciding factor. No vibration on the good side, but significant on the bad side. Removed the bearing assembly, and then you can tell that it's bad with that grating noise/resistance as you turn it.
Feeling the growling vs trying to shake the wheel. That’s brilliant! Thanks!!
Man I did that exact same thing you said don't do. Smdh order 2 sets of wheel bearings. And I did so can I had some play on the right side. Well that wasn't the problem so I check the tires there good so now I'm trying to figure out what's going on with my 2010 chevy malibu
You are my favorite mechanic on TH-cam
curious about torque for large nut: if different if the threads are lubed (antiseize) or not?
Just got mine in no time flat, thanks 1A👍!
We have man made potholes in my town. On avoidable potholes with lids on them. Yes the city put some right in the lane.
I installed new drive works wheel hub bearings on my 2002 Impala ls and I hear howling noise so I need to if that's normal since. Brand from advance auto zone or if it need to break as they say?
Great 👍 stuff
So I drive an 09 dodge caliber and as of now I have to replace my front subframe due to rust that tore up my driver side swaybar bracket so it clanks against my tie rod I believe. I have negative camber on both front driver and passenger side tires. I jack up the front end and there is no play left,right, up and down of my tires. what would cause inner tire wear on both sides?
Great video. Had frozen front calipers. Replaced set and brakes are perfect, now howling noise. I will diagnose it your way and piece of cake. Should have watched video first and followed check steps and avoid double work.
All good.
@Albe from Hudson NH ,,, ,, this mechanic knows what she's doing !!!
I have 2013 ford Taurus limited mines is making this cloking noise & vibration once i give it gas. I thought it was my brakes & rotors i put a new set all around, sbd i put 4 new tires thinking it was the issues, but no i still heard & felt the noise & vibration i also put a driver side rear wheel bearing on because i heard noise. But after all this work i felt and heard this in the front end of the car. So do i change both front wheel bearing or just one.
Great job ,very informative, thank you
Excellent explanation! You are so meticulous and thorough u never leave anything to the imagination. Extremely well explained and all possible reasons for the problem explained and examined.
Thank u!!
Nice video, my question, if you are having issues with one bearing at the front, should both ends be changed??
Good question
My axle nut is tightened so much, i put all my 220pounds on a 6foot break bar to unscrew it, maybe thats why the car suddenly start to shake sometimes at higher speed
You are the best..
