Awesome video. Just did this on my daughters 2014 sonic LT. Very detailed. Thank you so much.

I love the punch the rivet into a socket trick you've got dude. Stealing that!

Sorry to disagree with your diagnosis but turning left loads up the RH bearing and will identify this as the faulty one if noisy, vice versa for the LH bearing (turn right to load up LH bearing).

My right bearing was bad and got significantly louder when turning right, and got quieter when turning left. Replaced the left (driver's side) bearing first thinking that was where the problem was....and where I would have sworn the noise was coming from while driving. The noise persisted unchanged until I replaced the right (passenger's side) bearing.

Really appreciate your attention to details. THANK YOU!

Your video is really helpful! However I wish you could lighten it up a bit next time. You’re a great instructor!!!

for all those who just happen to have a custom slide hammer. lol.

You looked very competent.

Hey young man good job some times when you don’t have all the tools you have to make your own, I have a 2013 LT 5 Doors, with 90,000 it just doing that noise, but a wile back here where I live there where road construction I hit a pavement Transition it hit hard. I took the car to dealership they say there is nothing Wrong with wheel and tired but I still hear that noises

Wouldnt it be easier just to buy a new wheel hub assembly that has the bearing in hub such as a moog??? EDIT: apparently, part, that's only for the chevy crude

An adjustable wrench is to be used only one way. Putting that bearing in he was using it backwards. Good way to break your wrench.

I don’t understand the tightening the ball joint clamp then something about 180 degrees. Can you please explain I’m about to do mine tonight.

@amylaurin7269

Tightening to 180 introduces stretch on the fastener and puts the metal into the elastic loading region where it would recover from additional stresses.

Thats a new torq thing w torq to yield bolts etc....to prevent over tightening and make people buy more maintenance gear.....money in service parts industry. By design to make them money...not help the customer. Cars trucks worked fine 100yrs now torq ft lbs. nm degrees.....its not a race car.

Good video! Ignore the Internet haters!

Hear the system engaging? Which system?

Do you know where I can get the ball joint bolt to connect to the knuckle?

There is no wheel seal for this car, correct?

I have a little squeak in one of my tires I think just needs a new bearing but dear god all this work I think I’ll just turn the music up 🤣

Squeak is usually a bushing or brakes. Bearings grind and rumble when bad. Or vibrate

@@Dassick89 The weird part is it only squeaks when my foot’s not on the brake.. which makes me think it’s something with the brakes but what..? Any ideas? It squeaks as the wheel is spinning but if I’m using the brakes it doesn’t squeak at all.

how much you charge for doing this just one side? Passenger? I have changed the wheel bearing in hub, but never the one in the Knuckle(snap ring bearing)

Doing a wheel bearing /hub right now , pressed the new bearing into knuckle , then pressed hub into bearing , when I did that it blew the new bearing out . What am I doing wrong .

Make sure that the force is only on the bearing (inner ring) and the hub. (Do it at your own risk)

So I’m replacing my hub bearing on my 2017 sonic premier, do you need to purchase a new spindle for the cv shaft teeth?

I did not replace it on mine. If it is still good, then there is no need.

Hi great video, do you know why should I use a new ball joint bolt and a new axle nut. Can I just reuse the old ones? Thank you.

@johnososkalo4705

Old one should be fine

So what do you do if you don’t happen to have a home made slide hammer attachment? Lol

Yo anyone else have a wheel bearing do out you pop the wheel off and the axle nut is literally only on by like 2 threads? It’s only a 2018 with 60k miles also
