gr8 video, sweet I saw it a couple months ago. around 2 years my wife drove her car with a flat and stuff the tyre up. I replaced with a second hand tyre. well it had wheel bearing noise, which got worst a few months ago. paid $150 for a new bearing hub online, I jacked the car up to find a thick bolt in the tyre with the head wear off. (the increase in noise for last month) So I went and replace the back tyres as the other was near the end of it life too. Drive home and no noise. now I struck with a new bearing.

I had this issue with Michelin tires 5 year old with less than 20k on them. Apparently not driving and leaving the car sitting generated this issue. Who knew tires that were not worn out could make such loud humming noise. So after spending $900 for 4 new tires the sounds has gone away and the car is a pleasure to drive again. Thanks for confirming I am not the only one with this issue

Glad to see your back and making more videos. Have been watching you since I was 18 which was about 6 years ago. Thanks to your videos i learned how to work on cars and now do all repairs myself. All thanks to you keep up the great informative videos!

Glad I ran into your video before taking my car to the mechanic. Found a massive crack/split on the inside of both front tires by doing the inspection you showed. Probably saved myself $300-400 and a whole day of my car at the mechanic. Thanks a bunch for making this video!

Hands down, you have the best car repair/info/diagnosis videos on KZread.

Awesome video as usual! Thanks for keeping it simple enough while still SHOWING the details. You're one of my favorite automotive channels because of this.

This guy knows what he is talking about. Noises can be difficult to deal with. Thanks for your tips.

You saved my aaasss! I was shopping for new wheel hubs and looking for the procedure when your video popped up. Found that the inner liner had been bowed out due to a previous accident. It's on the right side and I only heard the noise turning left, classic wheel bearing, but the mind explosion you gave me solved the problem and a bunch of time and money. I appreciate the video!

Hey! He's back. Looking forward to all the future videos. One of my favourite mechanics on KZread.

Thank you for posting this! I'm been wondering my bearings are going out, now I know how to check them.

Great video keep making them I just like to add that I have seen a lot of rear tires go bad as set due to bad shocks in the back. they usually get bubles on the inside part of the tire,it is also called having chopped tires and they feel bumpy when you run your hands through them just like how he explained on the video. Best thing to do is to replace the shocks wich are causing the tires to chop on the inside get new tires and a alignment at the end.

Relaxed guy, no music, good talker, good craftsman, like watching your tube ;)

Glad to see you back!

Rotating tires can also help determine whether it's a tire noise or bearing. If the noise moves after rotating the tires, it's a good indicator of tire noise.

You always have great video's. I don't watch you enough! Thank you. You are a great teacher and obviously a skilled mechanic and troubleshooter.

Good show. Loving the background, it's like you're in the garden of Eden working on cars.

Every time I watch when your videos of your straight to the point no BSalways feel like I learned something from you and ty very much

It's good to see a video again. I always learn something when I stop by.

Worth mentioning, especially if you live in an area prone to many or deep potholes in roads, check to make sure your brake backing plate(if any) are not damaged. I thought for a while I had a bad wheel bearing because I was hearing noise, turned out to be the backing plate was bent inward and rubbing on the rotor causing the noise, just bent back with pliers and was fine. Hope it helps

Great tip on the checking for a bad wheel bearing by feeling the vibration on a coil spring!

I've watched many of your videos , i gotta say i just appreciate how detailed you are , you don't cut to the chase ,your honest on knowledge as a mechanic , you are what a mechanic should be and you really, help many people like myself ,to save money on these DIY jobs and get it done Right . I Thank you from the bottom of my heart and i totally Appreciate all you help. God Bless you and yours Always ..I Sincerely mean that !

I'm glad your channel is doing good bro! Props for the quality content Joe Mantegna!

Thank you, nice to see you! I've had fuzion touring tires, they're junk

Warning! Just be careful running your hand along the tire with a buldge, sometimes the tire has exposed steel belt.

Also, before thinking about replacing the bearing, there usually an option to buy a bearing and hub together for $50 more but much much easier DIY friendly install.

Im watching this while im having the same problem and was planning to do my bearings. Thanks man.

Bro your video is simple and to the point..Gladly subscribed..keep up the hard work.

Greetings from Costa Rica! Learning a lot from you. Thanks for the videos.

One thing you didn't mention that I will mention now is also to do with the tires and not the bearing. Some tires have a tread and compound that will make for a lot of "road noise". I have all seasons and I get typical noise from driving because of the tread pattern. When I switch to my winter tires, the noise is much more pronounced. Big time. The sound goes away when I switch back to my all seasons. My winter tires are brand new and they are in immaculate condition, by the way. So are my bearings. So in some cases, the type of tire you have can lead to a humming/howling sound similar to what people would mistake as a bearing issue. Up here in Canada, the noise gets even more pronounced the colder it gets as the rubber stiffens. So it may not always be a bad bearing or even a bad tire - it may also be just the type of tire and the weather as well. Something to be cognizant of. :)

Nice! Well done. I have an all wheel drive highlander. If the tires start getting a little old that thing gets a ton of road noise. New tires installed and quiet as can be. I think I would say in my experience that an all wheel drive is even noisier when the tires start getting bad.

Great overall explanation. I have a slight movement at 3 and 9 o'clock but not 6 and 12. I originally thought it was the wheel bearing. Now i know to check the tie rods. Thanks! I just assumed it was the bearing since i have 228k miles on my 2010 Rav4. I'll turn the wheel and hold the spring to see if i get any vibration.

Another great video. Well explained and good camera and audio! Thanks again sir!

Like your videos and just want to share my experience with wheel bearings. I had the noise and was quite sure it was the bearing. Did all the stuff you show several time, while driving a few thousand kms in the car. I was never capable of confirm the fault by jacking up the car and doing what you do. Didn’t do the hand on spring thing though. Finally drove it to the mechanic and fixed it with a new bearing. Point - it’s not as easy to diagnose as I thought.

I just had a issue like this. My friend and I where trying to figure out if it was a bearing or bad tires. In the end it was bearings. We never took the bearing issue for granted.

Well Earned LIKE, Best explained and smartest way of approaching this issue ive seen yet!

When no test is perfect, you get multiple pathways to diagnosis. Even professionals sometimes have trouble making the correct diagnosis.

Thank you. You did exactly what you said you would do. Just one quibble. Please elaborate on what you felt and found with the bad tire.

This is hilarious you made this video. I had 3 alignments done on my car. The car STILL PULLED. The shop swapped the front tires left to right, and the pull changed sides. Brand new BF Goodrich tires. Manufacturing defect made the tire conical. Causing a pull because of a misaligned belt. You couldn't see the defect because it's internal. Talk about MADDENING!

David Hammett - Infuriating is right!! I was in the automotive/truck industry for 37 years, specializing in front end and suspensions. I found defective tires causing handling, vibration and noise issues SO often! Tires are a bad place to save money, and have recommended Michelin and Toyo tires for years. Even these can see an occasional failure, but they’re ROUND and easily balanced from day one.

First thought is was the tires ( recently had bought new ones) and removed them, inspected them, and they looked perfect! But still a pull to the right with a wobble. Got an alignment, rotated the tires, and re-balanced. Now there is no wobble but still a pull to the right! I drive a 2004 acura tl. Someone plz help.

@@juliovasquez8718 try swapping your front tires left to right, if the pull changed sides, one of those is bad. In my case I think more than 1 of my tires is bad. I also have an 07 Acura TL. It's been aligned 3 times, and they said it's my tires. They have 11k miles on them. Apparently it's very common for manufacturers to sell "conical" tires. And if there is a large difference between sides, it causes the pull. Apparently Acura TL is super sensitive to this pull. It's dangerous, Because I constantly have to keep pressure on the wheel, to avoid other traffic. But this is the U.S. government regulations working. Psh.

Of course, a bad tire can also seem like an alignment or balance problem. I haven't tried it, but bet that you might be able to detect a significant difference in hub temps. on the same axle with a laser thermometer after driving the car, like checking for a dragging caliper.

Liked the very detailed information. Great job !

Turns out that the noise was caused by a tire. He could have re-installed the original axle, but he would have had to pay extra for the labor.

Great video mate, I'm handy on the tools but my diagnosing skills are lacking. This will help me out a lot good job👍

I once bought a set of wheels with some cheap brand tires on it (Sunny). They sounded exactly like worn bearings. Had them replaced by Michelin and the sound went away. Also found out that XL rated (dual radial) tires make more sounds like that then regular radial tires.

I had what I thought were bad bearings on a first generation Scion xB. I bought a pair of new bearings and spend an entire day replacing them myself. It didn't fix the sound at all. But while I had the tires off I noticed that their tread was really cupped. So I bought a new set of tires and that completely solve the problem. Meanwhile the rear bearings did actually go out on my Scion FR-S. The sound is completely different. When you got bad tires, it's a kind of growling warbling weird sound. But when it's bad bearings it's a hum. A nice solid steady hum. What's kind of funny is we were standing next to a lady's car one day and as she and my wife talked I looked at her back tires, and you could see that her tires were cupped. I told her that it would make her car sound like the rear bearings were bad. Her response was, so that's what that sound is! I think the problem is with front-wheel drive cars the rear wheels eventually get cups because they last so long and aren't used to drive the car or anything. I think a simple solution would be to rotate your tires a little more regularly than I do.
