      I've got a little issue with some noise at the moment. Initially thought maybe worn tyres, but I'm inclined to think it may be a wheel bearing or two. Either way it sounds like I'm being accompanied by a Cessna in the distance when I get up to about 40mph.

      @@nathanfranks1476 So I've literally just rolled my trolley jack back into my garage. Jacked the car up and spun all four wheels after work this evening. Pretty sure the rears are ok. Fronts feel smooth when turning by hand, but doing the 'steering sweep' while driving home from work this evening, it seems the issue is likely pointing to the offside one. When spinning it quickly I think I can hear a tiny bit of clunking, but it's hard to tell with the ambient noise and the wind blowing in my ear. I'll order a bearing anyway and see how I get on.

    I am an auto tech, and I can tell you that for the majority of wheel bearing diagnosis this method works well.
    There are a few odd ones that come in usually imports Honda and Toyota specifically, that the bearing will have zero play and by that have no change in sound loaded or unloaded.
    And the way to tell if it is bad is the old Airplane propeller sound.
    Many years ago my wife's Acura was starting to make this prop plane sound from the front of the car, and I checked the wheels clearance to brake calipers (they were very close but not touching ), I checked the bearings for wear or play - none found, I checked CV Axle nuts preload and that was in spec.
    I ended up replacing the knuckle assemblies which had the bearing pressed into it, and the noise was gone instantly.
    I took the old ones to a friend and told him about the sound, and he pressed them out and cut the bearings apart and showed me the wear spots in the bearings.
    Basically the case hardening starts coming off the rolling parts making little flat spots. And the Axle nut preload keeps the bearing from showing any play, yet still allowing it to make a fairly loud noise.
    I asked him why would the case hardening even comes off in the first place, and he said it's little stress cracks that form in the metal when the grease dries out in the sealed bearing, and the rolling parts get too hot and the hard surface cracks because it's also brittle and cannot withstand wide temperature changes..
    My 02¢

    Great video, best explanation I've seen yet. I have had a dealer look at mine and brush it off which is frustrating (warranty work). Newer tires on a certified pre owned suv, noticeable noise from 55-60 mph, sounds like a bearing. Dealer says they checked and it must just be tires. I hate to replace a brand new set of tires with only a few thousand miles but I might have to. Texture of road changing and moving wheel doesn't change the sound. Not noticeable at other speeds.

    Daughters 2014 C-Max Energi had tire noise that changed when the original 9 year old tires were rotated, front to back, with the cheaper 5 year old tires previous owner had replaced them with. The original Michelins had not, quite, gotten to the tread wear indicators but, because of age, and the Hankook were in the wear indicators all 4 were replaced with 70,000 mile Michelins. Because of radio volume, and the noise started gradually, she didn't realize how loud it had gotten. Good quality street tires tend to be quieter than cheap ones. Inflation and rotation.

    Thanks so much. I'm rolling with a tire issue based on your fantastic diagnostic skills. What's interesting or telling is my tires were just rotated. I noticed the sound immediately from the front tire(s) and this was also after the mechanic said my lug nut had been crossthreaded, and my hub might be damaged. I'm calling BS on that based on the sound, and what you described. Plus, how do I know that he didn't do the thread damage himself? I've been to the shop before, purchasing a pair of tires. He was also quick to point out that my rear brakes were shot. I appreciate the diagnosis, but I wonder if he was really working an upsell back then as well. Thanks again my friend. I'll see if the shop follows up my call after driving home with the new noise.

  • @SportsMusicCars
    @SportsMusicCars 10 місяців тому +1

    I jack the vehicle up and spin the rims/tires. If a wheel hub/bearing is bad, you can hear the grinding when you spin the rims/tires. Plus moving from side to side will cause the pitch change for sure while driving. I'm hoping the noise we are hearing on our 2012 G37 is the tires, not the trans as I'm 90% sure it's not the wheel bearings. The passenger side is super quiet no noise at all when I spin things, the drivers side has a tine bit of scraping sound but just barely and I attribute that to the brakes barely touching. Older tires from 2015 & 2018 on the car now, replacing the 2015 ones Tuesday and seeing how that affects the noise we are hearing.

      You should still hear the woo woo woo sound when slowing down then it's a tire issue. Check if your tire is wearing on the corner of the tire then wheel alignment needs to be done n you can drive a few more till you buy new tires then do alignment once more. Wheel bearing noise needs to hit a certain speed to hear so if you slow down, you will not hear the woo woo sound then it's your bearing.

    I hear what I believe is wheel bearing noise when I drive straight down the street. When I turn the car to the left it stops and is pretty quiet. But straightening out it's noisy again and turning right it stays the same pretty much. Does that tell you which side of the wheel bearing is gone? thank you for the video

    I am a mechanic for 35 years the best way is to jack the car up and spin the wheel by hand and also feel for side play, you should rub your over the tyre tread and feel for uneven wearing

    A constant growling is another clear sign of a bad hub or wheel bearing. Unfortunately, sound likes to telegraph and sound like it's coming from the opposite side of where it's originating from. A good and thorough inspection will usually point one in the right direction.

    On our 2013 G37 I suspect previous owner(s) put in the wrong power steering fluid and that is the noise I hear when driving. Nissan/Infiniti/Toyota uses Dexron ATF, NOT US style power steering fluid, which is what I believe is in the G now. Getting a pump from harbor freight today and getting started on this project...

    I bought a car and after taking it home I thought it had a wheel bearing issue. Spent hours trying to diagnose the issue and pinned it down to it coming from the front right wheel. Couldn't find play in the wheel, but having a wheel bearing go bad on my last car I know that play doesn't mean the bearing is fine. I went ahead and checked tire pressure on all four wheels and sure enough, 3 wheels had 33-35psi while the front right had 48psi in it. Checked all 4 tires tread and 3/4 were just fine, but sure enough the front right wheel had very little tread left in the center while having normal tread on the outside. Turns out the last owner was just a moron who didn't understand the importance of filling up the tires to spec, probably just saw the low pressure light come on and filled it up for like a minute at a gas station and never questioned anything.
    Sounds exactly how you described as well. It's fine I guess, the tires on this car look like your generic Walmart garbage.

    Had two new cars started making a roaring noise at speeds over 20mph. Around 24k miles or more on the vehicles. Both of them large sedans. Both times I was sure it was the bearings but it ended up being the tires. The tires still had lots of tread left... I was disappointed that I didn't get the expected tire life.

      It’s possible that it’s tire noise, I would 100% recommend having a tech at the dealer test drive and verify. I don’t know too much about those models so I would go with whatever octane requirements are on fuel door, sorry I couldn’t be of more help

    As I drive I have a humming noise it's louder and kind if a whirring noise that you made when I am up to 40+ and when I put loud on the left wheels. But my right tire has uneven wear. Also when I turn back and forth I have whining and while in a sharp low-speed turning I can hear popping noses when I hit small bumps, I feel like that part is my ball joint on either side I just can't under if that it alone or maybe the wheel bearing or tires somewhere factored in too
