@DodgeMan360 Once you put the new tie rod in, I would recommend getting an alignment done. Even if you count the turns it may still be off a little bit, causing the tires to wear out.

@PIANOSTYLE100 4 года назад

Yes..that would make sense. Probably a good time to ask the mechanic if they see anything wrong in the suspension system . Knowing what a ball joint is and what time rods do. What's their function and how to see if they are worn is very inp. That could be any part. As I am not a mechanic but like to be able to do things myself. I have piano/guitar site on You tube..it aimed towards beginners and intermediates. Pianostyle100.

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

@ant1h If the inside of the rim is worn, I would also check the brake caliper to see if it has the same type of mark on it. You could also jack the tire up and turn it by hand to see if you can hear where it's comeing from. Hope this helps you out.

@1AAuto 11 лет назад

If there's a check engine light on you may want to have the code pulled to see where it's pointing to. You could also check all of the suspention pieces to see if there's anything that needs to be fixed.

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

@Amopower you can look at the hub bearing to see if there's any movement in it.

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

@wickedjester9 I would check all of the suspension pieces such as the tie rod ends and sway bar links, ball joints. You should also see if there's any play in the axle shafts. If you have a bad one, that could cause an issue too.

@jerseybamboogie 9 лет назад

this guy in these 1A auto videos has literally turned me in to a junior mechanic.thank you my friend.more videos.

@1AAuto 9 лет назад

Thank you for watching! Glad to be of help. Please let us know how the repair turns out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

@1AAuto 11 лет назад

It may be. Sometimes a bad hub noise will come and go while you turn.

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

@Amopower the procedure would be the same to check the bearings in the front of your vehicle.

@1AAuto 11 лет назад

You may experiance a humming noise at over 30 mph, if the bearing has gone bad.

@1AAuto 11 лет назад

It could also be worn suspension or steering parts. If the sway bar steering stabilizers are bad, you experience a thumping noise with a shake in the wheel at higher speeds, but not necessarily a shake in the brake pedal. Hope this helps you out.

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

It still could be a bad wheel bearing. Sometimes on these newer cars you have to take the hub off of the knuckle and see if you can move the outer hub by hand. If there's quite a bite of play between the two pieces it may be bad. The bearing tolerances are so close on some of the newer cars, that it can be hard to tell at times. Hope this helps you out.

@dansaver8247 8 лет назад

Good short, sharp smack of information like a 308 hitting you.

@1AAuto 13 лет назад

@antonio30824 You have to lift the tire up off the ground and unload it,to properly be able to move it as shown in the video. What you are looking for is play in the wheel by being able to move it from side to side.

@joehyundaitech7961 4 года назад

yes mike it did help me out thank you for this video I have learned so much from you and your other team members with all of your videos

@1AAuto 4 года назад

+JOE FORD DIY Thank you for the great reply. We love to empower our customers by showing you how-to perform your own auto repairs while installing our high quality auto parts. Have a great day! 1aauto.com

@1AAuto 11 лет назад

It could either be from the tires or it could be a bearing going bad. Bringing the car in to have it looked at will be the best thing to do at this point.

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

You may want to take a look at the suspension pieces for anything that may be bent.

@1AAuto 11 лет назад

You may want to check the front axles and also the sway bar end links for wear. If the end links are dried out and bad, you may have a thump at higher speeds, shake in the steering wheel, but maybe not in the brake pedal. If those check out okay, inspect the rest of the suspension pieces for wear. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

@12unnn It could be in the driveline too.

@1AAuto 11 лет назад

when the vehicle is up in the air and since there is no limited slip differential, one side of the vehicle will spin since the power is being diverted all to that side since it believes it is slipping. When the vehicle is on the ground and the wheel is getting traction, the power then goes to both tires.

@1AAuto 11 лет назад

If you also feel the shake in the brake pedal, usually it's the sign of a bad rotor. We carry new brake rotor and pad kits on our website for all kinds of vehicle. Hope this helps you out.

@Lawless187indika Год назад

Can u explain,what type of shake in the brake pedal you mean?. My brakes have gotten bit soft and sometimes i feel motion in the pedal like the pads are slipping and not "locking"/grabbing hos they should

@imsosik13 10 лет назад

Thanks for your time

@1AAuto 13 лет назад

@Dolfandad79 Just an FYI, the car in this video is "too bad." It is a good example to video because you can see it. Better to catch it before it can move this much.

@MrMacrun 12 лет назад

these videos are great!. helpfull to a guy on a fixed income. shows me how to do some of the work myself. thanks again.

@1AAuto 11 лет назад

You may want to jack the car up and see if the wheel bearings are bad. You could also see if the axle is loose. You may want to turn the tire by hand to see if you can hear any strainge noises that may lead you to what's causing the issue.

@rparedes08 7 лет назад

Hey a1auto I was wondering if this problem with the wheel hub bearing goin bad could be the cause of my cv shaft axle constantly being needed to replaced at least once a year? I know that the sensor on the wheel huh does work and does not make any sounds during driving.

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

A bad wheel bearing will make more of a humming noise where a bad U-joint may tend to have more of a vibration along with a humming noise to it.

@1AAuto 11 лет назад

You may be able to diagnose a bad bearing that way too. Just make sure that it's not the brakes making the noise. Thank you for visiting us on RU-vid. Have a great day! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

nice short informative video

@murphytoadster9864 2 месяца назад

Would that cause inner tire wear? I replaced all my suspension , shocks and got an alignment, but still have wear on the inner driver tire. But I did replaced the wheel hub up "after" the alignment so would that cause that wear ?

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

@llGrandAmGtll It could be that a wheel bearing has gone bad. We carry them on our website. Here's a link to them. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com/1A/wheel-bearing-hub-front/Pontiac/GrandAm/-/-/2002?ATony

@Awsnan1228 10 лет назад

I have been told the front differencial is bad in my 05 Envoy SLT 4 wheel drive 4 cyl. I am thinking it is a left hub bearing. If I am driving the vehicle in 2 wheel drive and the differencial is not "engaged", I wouldn't hear the "vibration" sound, correct? Because I am using the rear differencial with 2 wheel drive. It is definately a rough vibration "feeling" in the front (Left side if I had to guess) I hear the sound in 2 and 4 wheel drive. Whats your thoughts?

@1AAuto 10 лет назад

Usually when a wheel bearing goes bad you'll hear a humming noise. You may want to check the wheel bearings and also the steering components in the front. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

@Dolfandad79 13 лет назад

I like these types of videos, things to look for on our own before they get too bad. Keep up the good work guys!

@imsosik13 10 лет назад

I have a 2005 ford sport trac 4 wheel drive the front passenger rotor was warped and was changed but it still sounds like it rubs but not the whole way as the wheel rotates it gives off a shuddering type sound and is more prominent when turning right and at higher speeds also at highway speeds the steering wheel shakes a bit but the brake doesn't pulse or vibrate when stopping

@blissfuldw 12 лет назад

I have a 96 Sable - when I'm driving there is an almost chirping/slight squeal coming from my driver's front wheel - I'm thinking its the bearings - there's no movement on the hub at all. What do you think? Thanks!

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

@DodgeMan360 If the tie rod is making noise while you move the tires, then it should be replaced.

@NAMULTISS 12 лет назад

Hello. What's the difference between a wheel hub and a U-joint? Do they make kind of the same noise? Makes a noise on and off gas at about 60 and when turning a little to the left at speed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

@tracyn8 10 лет назад

Thanks for your videos very helpful. I have a 03 grand Cherokee limited that has started to make a whining sound that seems to be coming from the drivers side front. It doesn't happen all the time but becoming more frequent and only makes noise when moving. Its higher pitched than wheel bearings that I have heard in the past when going bad. Been reading jeep forums lot of people with this problem but no solution. some say wheel bearings some say pinon bearings. any help would be thankful.

@1AAuto 10 лет назад

HI, I actually have 4 Grand Cherokees in the family. Three of them are 99-04 WJs. Usually when the wheel bearings fail you'll hear a high pitched whine (all of mine did it at around 30MPH). You may also experience front tire wear on the outer edge of the tires. Here's a video we did on my 2004. How To Install Replace Front Wheel Hub Bearing Jeep Grand Cherokee 99-04 PART 2 1AAuto.com We carry new wheel bearings on our website. Here's a link to them for you 2003 if they need to be replaced.

@marco1173 2 года назад

I get this droning noise from the driver side front wheel at about 65-70 MPH, when the ride also becomes a bit rough and a noticeable bit of shimmy on the steering wheel becomes apparent. I'm suspecting a bad bearing, am I on the right track?

@marioromero4152 2 года назад

So, I have a 2014 dodge gran caravan and a 2004 ford f150, and whenever we go over 65 mph, the tire starts to shake and sometimes it shakes the whole vehicle(the truck shakes violently when going over 65 mph) , is that what could be causing the problem?

@codys1644 7 лет назад

I have a whoop whoop noise on the front driver side of my 07 silverado. It only makes this noise if the trucks been sitting awhile.

@amber8949 11 лет назад

I have a 2008 Chevy Malibu. Just the other day I started hearing a humming like sound on the driver's side, specifically more around curves. However, I was told I need new tires soon. It has 80K miles. Any ideas what it could be?

@meedogg 11 лет назад

If this is an all wheel drive mountaineer, this may be caused by the clutches in the rear differential. This is a common problem in those and there is a technical bulletin about it.

@RG4L92 11 лет назад

I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am and I'm thinking that my axle might be messed up everytime I turn the steering wheel to the right when I'm going around 60 miles per hour it does make a shaking sound and at the end of the axle the part that goes in the transmission have a little leak can you explain to me what it could be and thank you I appreciate your time

@12unnn 12 лет назад

@wickedjester9 if its manual it could be the clutch or a driveshaft / gearbox bearing if not any of the suspension

@kazper2275 11 лет назад

ok so my question is I have a 2005 cavalier and I have a constant loud humming noise coming from my front passenger side... I have taken the wheel off and checked as suggested but there is no clunking sound in my hub.... also there is no pulling in my steering when driving... however, when im driving and a left bend in the road comes up the noise go's away?? I've been told it could be my wheel bearing but i've also been told it could be my cv shaft? any ideas on what this problem could be?

@imsosik13 10 лет назад

2005 sport trac 4 wheel drive front passenger side sounds like it runs or hums louder when turning rotor was replaced recently was warped no signs of it warping now no vibrations in pedal when stopping louder humm however steering wheel vibrates at highway speed and humm is louder

@DodgeMan360 12 лет назад

So side to side wiggle means a tie rod right? Ive gotta 08' ram that has a wiggle from side to side, and the tie rod is moving slightly, makes a clunk noise. Everything else is tight,

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

@BFMVdrummer Yes it may, or it could also make a houling noise.

@sixpackbinky 2 года назад

Ever since they changed the hub on my driver side, I have this irritating banging noise it sounds as if something hitting on my wheels but every time I have someone look at it they say they can’t see anything wrong. And when I make a left turn there is a definite wobble. I don’t feel safe driving it with the banging on the wheel and wobble in left turns.

@southpark159753 6 лет назад

What about rear tires without tie rods and ball joints ?

@awille13 11 лет назад

can you tell by spinning the wheel when its off the ground? i did that and made a noise so i think its a bad wheel bearing

@franciscodortiz5323 10 лет назад

Thanks for the reply. I had recently done my front strut assemblies. So i thought it was maybe loose bolts somewhere.in the suspension. So took the wheel off. Spun the wheel hub. And traced my clicking/ tapping noise to a badly cracked front differential. The fluid had leaked out completely. So im now looking for a front differential.

@jesusmoya1575 7 лет назад

i need your help... i changed my driver wheel bearing with spindle.. because i could hear the noice with a different one from the yunk yard.. but i still hear the noice coming from the driver side... but after seening your video i did what you did.. i had my sister press the gas the noice came from the driver side.. when i looked under the car. the driver tire was not moving at all.. when i looked at the passenger tire it was moving to the sides like the one in your video... sorry its long... both wheels did not have any play up&down or side/side... if you can help me thanks

@wateroperator 10 лет назад

Thank you for sharing your expertise and what I should look for. I had a simple oil change and was told that my front wheel bearings need to be replaced, 04 Toyota 4 Runner, SR5, 4WD. The mechanic demonstrated the same condition above, a slight looseness/movement on both front wheels. I don't hear any noise when driving. Their quote is $1150.00. Then he said that I'll probably need an alignment after the work is complete. They said their quote is high because of the 4 wheel drive and labor intensive, minimum 6 hours ?? I will get additional quotes, including the toyota dealership. If this repair work is this intensive, I would feel more comfortable with the dealership doing the work. Does this quote seem a little inflated?

@1AAuto 10 лет назад

It shouldn't be that bad of a job, we currently do not have an auto repair video on this particular truck. Most trucks can be done (replacing both) in a couple of hours.
