excellent video
Are there any other reasons to feel vibrations through the strut when you rotate the wheel or is a failed bearing the primary cause?
Does anyone know what the guard behind the rotor is called? The one on my rear wheel hub fell off due to rusting and is stuck and making noise when driving. I might just remove it or replace it which ever is necessary.
i had the wheel bearing replaced and i still have the same noise coming from the wheels
Last time I was doing suspension job I had big problems with removing an axle from wheel bearing. What do you recommend to do if it doesn't want to come out of bearing? Hammer didn't help much that time. 🙁
I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. Well done!
I've been driving MB, BMW and now VW, I never knew about a wheel hanger. Nice job, great vid, good tips, very practical, thanks, Dave.
Thank you for the detailed video and specifications. I watched your video and changed the front wheel bearings on my 2012 VW CC. Your video is spot on. After watching the video, I made sure I had adequate leverage on a few of the bolts that are torqued down. Made the job much smoother … I am sure.
Finally found a clip on accessing those damn 12 pt 12M bolts securing hub to lower member. I would have sworn mine were 11M but there is no such triple square. Thank you. And, thank you again!!!
Very thorough video! Well done.
while driving you hear woah woah woah very low pitch noise plus you just "feel" a constant metal on metal vibration. what would this be? i tested front wheel bearings by driving the wheels in air (car on jack stands) put a large screw driver on the inside of steering knuckle and no noise from it.
Great vid but,,,, @ 9:50 isn't working for me, another ideas please ????
Thanks for a great video. Appreciated the handy hints and suggestions.
Well done good sir, thank you…. Does this work on a 2003 audi a6 bi-turbo awd Quattro 2.7t ????
I think my 2012 jettta has this issue, is it common to have it on a car thats only 4 years old?
Where do i find the tools you used? the 12 point socket is impossible to find online.
thanks for posting, M12 , 12 point bolt = triple square
Bearing cost around 70 dollar SKF
I've been getting small vibration at exactly 64 mph but I don't believe there's any bearing noise, I've gotta imagine the bearings are my issue tires and wheels are new. The faster I go, the vibration lessens – if I hit 70 or above and set cruise it's not as as bad if not gone. but 60-64mph it's noticeable.
