How to spin those wheels
Spinning the wheels on the lift whenever it might be needed for checking different things is not so simple on modern vehicles. If any single wheel is not spinning easily (typically, because of the slight brake drag) the traction control and stability control systems would engage "thinking" that there is a situation of loss of traction. AWD systems make it even worse in most cases because of the AWD system also trying to control torque transfer to the wheels.
Therefore, ABS/Traction/Stability control systems must be disabled one way or another. Sometimes there is a switch to turn it off, but only sometimes. On this occasion, I located and removed ABS module power supply fuse. Although there might be also other methods available, this one was just the quickest for me to figure out on that day.

Catastrophic wheel bearing failure
Переглядів 4,6 тис.2 роки тому
The wheel is not going to fall off if the wheel bearing fails. Well, in most cases, it won't. But the damage to brake rotor, brake caliper and other parts is guaranteed, as well as the towing bill. All this is on top of the wheel bearing replacement cost. There are no savings in delaying necessary repairs!

Replacing rear knuckle (axle carrier in Toyota terminology) in 2014 Toyota Venza.

    You saved me more money ..I just paid a shop $300 to replace the knock sensor because this problem kept triggering the P0324 code... Tore off the valve cover today and sure enough the timing chain guide was loose.. After cleaning the bolt holes and bolts and torquing it down to 71 inch lbs with lock tight on the treads... But, When torquing down the valve cover I snapped the #1 sequence bolt trying to torque it down to 74 inch lbs... I put some RTV silicone under the top and over it.. I also put a little bead along the gasket area of the broken bolt .. The car runs so much quieter and better..But, was throwing out oil from the broken bolt...So, hoping the rtv does the trick . Again, thanks for the video... Without it I would have probably spent who knows how much more money....

    Dude you are a lifesaver. Thank you. I have been chasing this for a month. Heading out to do it now. GM should have issued a service bulletin for bolts being used with no secondary retention feature from the factory. They could have added this to the service needed with the intake manifold, valve cover and PCV all blow out. If I had known I would have retorqued wtih thread lock when I put the Dorman fix it. Dorman redesign is awesome BTW. No issues on valve cover and intake manifold. 35K on those parts so far.

    Thanks so much for this. I followed your video and was able to complete the job in my driveway. Very clear and easy to follow instructions. I got lucky with the ABS sensor and was able to remove it. My tip there is to disassemble until you can access the sensor port from the inside of the knuckle and soak it from both sides with penetrating oil. Was not so lucky with the bolts as I did have to cut them just as you indicated. Love your accent by the way.

    • @HarleySLA
      @HarleySLA Рік тому

      Can't say without hearing your engine, but a lot of modern cars (especially these Cruzes) make a lot of injector noise. To me it almost sounds like a click/tap like some tapping a whiteboard with their fingernails. It's normal operation, the noise is due to the high pressure the fuel injectors operate at: vehicles these days can have pressures as high as 3000 PSI. Although it could be something else, it is likely just the injectors operating normally.

    My 2014 Cruze was clattering like an old school diesel, with uneven acceleration. My mechanic said the noise was a problem deep in the engine, too much trouble to repair, and to drive it until it dies. I followed your advice instead, plus swapped in a new valve cover & gasket (to avoid the known PVC vacuum leak problem with this engine) and spark plugs (at about 100,000 kms it's time). Yes, the chain guide was loose. Now the clatter is gone, acceleration is as smooth as a baby's cheek. Thank you.

    There is no need to remove the rear seat to disconnect those abs sensors. If you're replacing them, cut them, and disconnect it from the plug via the long vertical panels next to the seat. When reinstalling the new ones, pry open the rear plastic panels behind the seat so you can push the abs cable foward to be able to reconnect. Did this last week. I believe removing the rear seat completely is a waste of time.
