Completely agree lol I was cringing when he was sticking his hand in there with the wheel spinning at 50 MPH. Your regular Joe Schmo doing this in their driveway will most definitely get hurt doing this

She definitely has an insurance policy on him. 😂

Thank you very helpful. I had a vibration noise on a rear tyre and my first thought was rear bearing. Finally it was bad tyre to be changed.

Same. Think I have a bad tire. Much cheaper to fix/replace.😊😊😊😊

Great Video !!!

Don't do this. You can use a wooden yardstick to stick back and touch the coil and it will pickup the vibration. Ever see a alligator grab a man's arm and roll? One slip and you arm touches that tire going 50 mph and your toast. You can detect a bearing by jacking the car up and shaking the wheel grasping it at the E, W and then N,S grip points. I definitely would not reach in to touch the coil

Tires don’t reach out and bite, but DIYers not paying attention do slip. Happened to me several years back, had road rash on my arm. No it did not send me flying across the shop…slow down with the drama 😂

Thank you so much & great job.

Agree, I've seen transmissions completely explode running car on lift.

The average person should NOT reach over the tire while the tire is spinning. Severe injury may result.

Yes automotive sethoscopes are by far the best practice, or a very long dense rod like a 24” 3/8 extension. Working around vehicles at all required safety protocols, grabbing the coil spring and avoiding contact with the tire really isn’t an impossible task.

Not impossible but not worth the risk of a disabling injury. Stick a contact microphone on the thing.

You can just grab the tire at the top and bottom and give it a shake, alternating top in bottom out, top out bottom in. If it moves or it doesn't feel tight, it's going to be play in the bearing. You don't need to do all that lifting it up and putting it in drive. Just jack up one wheel at a time.

That only works if the bearing is worn to the extent of becoming loose, which is a safety issue. Bearings make noise well before that point. Some people have the radio up too loud so they never hear it, others notice and need it diagnosed 😂

@@Pete_Tech_ they don't always make noise when they aren't loose. I haven't heard a wheel bearing make noise before becoming loose enough to tell with a shakedown. Usually if it's making noise it's because the bearing is worn, and if it's worn, it's usually better the seals have allowed debris or moisture into the race resulting in the play that you feel when you shake it down. I can't think of any other reason that a bearing would make noise. If it's sealed, it's properly lubricated 🤷

Thanks for the video. Obviously proceed at your own risk. As mentioned by others using a yard stick/wood stick is much safer for the average DIYer. BTW nice lift and helper. I didn't turn off the stabilizer and car on front jacks would not go above 7 MPH. Car sounds like airplane above 40 MPH worse with slight right turns. Suspect driver side wheel bearing. Both front tires have zero play. Tires rotated with no change.

Question i got a 2015 Q50 its got 40,000 miles its making a horrible loud roaring noise when you first start it if its idling not loud when I put it in drive it makes a clucking roaring noise My engine is not overheating it's running normal my gas is normal it hasn't changed gets worst when I accelerate and if I get on interstate And accelerate when I let go I hear a clunk but its a rough drive Took it to infinit told me it was a small leak from the exhaust pipe So I took it to Midas and they did a full exhaust test on it and said there was no leaks they said it could be an internal problem But had my engine and my transmission checked out at infinity and they told me there was no issues with them so I'm wondering what this can be

Ya, thinking it's a bearing. Loud noise from front end, louder as you accelerate. Recognize it somewhat from a bearing going in my other car on the highway. Just changed brakes, rotors..think the guy would've noticed it.

I knew it was my Front wheel bearings, both Front wheels are scraping when I turn Left and Right and the Left side is louder it's making a loud pop when I bring the wheels back straight. I'm replacing both inner tie rods because there's a lot of play in the steering wheel it also feels loose and I'm replacing both Front wheel bearings at the same time. I also need to to an alignment on my Front wheels, because the steering wheel is facing towards the Right when I'm driving. But since my Camry is really low, every shop I called refused to do an alignment on my car so I'm gonna do it myself when I put my Aftermarket wheels back on after Winter.

Thanks for sharing

I had to replace both front wheel bearings and recently bought new tires couldn’t find the right size but was told it wouldn’t affect anything if I bought a bigger size, now when I drive down the road over 40 mph it gets very loud! Not sure what’s going on.

I have an 02' Blazer ZR2. Just changed my front bearing hubs because i have a loud "low power steering" type sound that gets louder the faster i go & only makes this sound when rolling. Tires are good & quiet. I think it might be my rear diff bearing. Sounds like the front but the noise drones & sounds weird like sometimes its from the front & sometimes from the rear.

Differential bearings will typically make noise when coasting. (No load applied). Use a lift or Jack stands and drive in the air to find out. And automotive sethoscope is very cheap.

You know, it would be safer if you use something like small, hollow aluminum tube or similar and touch it on the coil spring instead of your arm. LOL We don't want to nick name you "Pete The One Arm Tech" lmao LOL Awesome video, too. Thank you

Ok, heres a question for you from South Africa. I have a Dihatsu Terios 2012, 1.5 4x4 model that has done 200 000 kilometres both on dust and tar roads. It has been regularly serviced and recently had the front propshaft, front shocks and all brakes replaced, front and back. My question is this: if the car stands overnight and I start it in the morning, I then reverse it out of the carport swinging the rear to the left, I then put it into first gear and drive turning right to get out of my driveway and get this horrible grinding noise across both front wheels and which also makes the noise just under the steering wheel and literally feels like it is coming up the steering column. this lasts for literally a few seconds (60 at most), if driving extremely slowly it continues for longer ggggkkk, gggkkk, almost like dry metal on metal noise and then doesnt come back no matter how long the car moves or stands during the day. It only occurs first thing in the morning when the car has stood for around 12 to 13 hours. The steering wheel turns without any problems. I have had new tyres fitted all round as well. Nobody that I have taken the car to can tell me what is wrong, most of the time they dont believe me because a: I am an elderly woman and b: they cant hear anything, I have driven the car to them so of course the noise has stopped. I have had the car lifted off the ground and driven and no noise, put it back down and the noise will sometimes come back for a second or two. I have been told that the wheel bearings are fine, but irrespective, I will be changing them. My thinking, and I know squat diddly about cars is that there is some sort of lubricant/oil/grease problem that once heated up lubricates whatever is causing this grating/grinding noise. Any suggestions, help, advice as to what could be the cause of this elusive noise (and I am not going senile) would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds crazy but I would try new brake pads and rotors on both front and rear first. Sounds like the brake rotor surface could be rusting or severely pitted attracting debris and cause noise until the pads rub it off enough to not hear it. Unfortunately I can’t diagnose it over the internet. Bearings will make noise constantly if they have failed.

does it causes you to lose speed when the noise happens thats whats happining to me right now

I have a noise that sound like this but not 100% sure. I did the shakedown but no play. I will try to use a stethoscope and run. I agree on the comments about being under the car while doing this test is dangerous in the USA. Not really from a 3rd world country when then do this all the time. You’re a legend man

I had a wheel only make the noise after 25mph. Also had play when grabbing tire at 12 and 6 o'clock and shaking, about 1/16th" play. No noise when braking.

@Pete_Tech_ it was the wheel bearing. When I got the assembly out of the knuckle (eventually, was very stuck) it was dry and seemed to be the problem. All other components are tight.

Nope, not putting my hand near the inside of the tire. Got my finger jammed before, and now I think I have PTSD, lol. I’ll just listen for the sound.

How about if it keeps breaking the belts of the tire on same side. It does make rumblings noise. I'm on my second tire..

Around 45/to 50 mph I get a roaring type noise that can only be described by me as the sound of being in an airplane. Making me think it’s just the way the air hits the car… however at higher speeds 70-80 my drivers side tire vibrates and I can feel it in my left foot when it’s resting in that little chill spot (automatic) idk, obviously needs a diagnosis but if anyones knows what that would be let me know pls😅🙏🏻

Just turn the tire by hand geez.... you will feel it in the coil anyhow....

That means u got a blown head gasket
