Scotty we need a most reliable work van video please
🛢️⛽Hello "gas-head" Scotty:
🏁Tesla model Y will be the most sold carmodel on planet Earth in year 2023! 🏁🥇
#1 thing used in video.........Common sense!!!🤣🤣🤣 So true & the 🌎 needs all of it you can spare!!! 😂😂😂
Yes, letting girls drive your car will destroy it, I can attest to that.
LOL my careless father got me a car one time that had rear wheel bearing so worn you could move tire in and out nearly half foot LOL
Scotty is the first mechanic I’ve ever seen use an electronic stethoscope to find where noises are coming from, all of our local mechanics just guess, and throw parts of the problem, which is why I don’t use any of our local mechanics anymore.
for a wheel bearing its fine to just drive it and listen honestly
@@terrorriizz or feel the stubborn bearing grabbing. Wheel bearing can allow the wheel rim to wabble.
Yes that's the problem they just guess Scotty is actually going through the process of listening to the wheel bearings to see if they're bad and a lot of mechanics just don't have time or patience to do so it's all about the money these days
Nah I've met a few who use one. Myth busted
Any machinist or real mechanic does it.. you can also use a screwdriver..
His customers are so lucky to have a great mechanic but an honest one too.
I don't think I've ever seen Scotty laugh so hard about a recall fix 🤣
metal foil WTH are they doing? GM SUX
There's never been a recall so worthy of a huge laugh.
Doesn't matter. Today's GM cares about Diversity and ESG scores.
@@BlackPill-pu4vi And diversity is a bad thing?
@@powerbottomboi5255 they want diversity of skin color, not diversity of thought.
Notice how none of the neighbours interrupt Scotty. That's because he's fixing all their cars. They just watch quietly from their windows while they get a free service.
I am 100% sure he works for money
@@dvader3000it’s a joke my friend
As always, Scotty provides an education. I would not have thought twice about the noise. It seemed hardly noticeable, but it was probably be different if you were there in person. Thank you, Scotty!
I wish I can hear the noise but somebody won't stop talking LOL
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha
At least he never repeats himself repeats himself.
Hahaha ikr i was like shut up scotty let me listen.
omg, who? 😆😆
Woah! I had this exact same thing. Shop told me nothing was wrong, but I could hear a weird noise from my right front wheel in left curves. Had them replace the bearings anyways and no more noise. Glad I made the decision instead of listening to the mechanic on that one.
I still have a similar problem with my car, and every mechanic I went to didn't point anything out...The car starts to make a very low and deep rumble sound when going over 75-80 kmph (50 mph I think) and we suspected that could be the front bearings. The seller of the car mentioned it's from the tires but of course it was a lie :)) the sound was still there even after changing to winter tires. I'll totally look into replacing the bearings as well.
@@Dodo.isp22 That sounds like the wheel hub, not bearings. Had that problem fixed many times in my Traverses over the years.
I bought the same noise finder with the clips and leads thanks to one of your previous videos. It works AMAZINGLY! Thank you Scotty. 👍
I have used them at the dealership I use to work at. Good luck trying to get paid for your time doing that testing. Flat rate sucks.
A friend of mine had a 2017 Chevy Bolt. The battery died on it with only 12k miles. The dealership told him they could not fix the vehicle even though it was under warranty. Luckily he was about to get a full refund under state law. He said he'll never buy another EV ever and definitely never buy another GM.
The problem being a GM EV.
The only thing Mary embarrowsing leads at is crushing EV's
Tesla cars done trash their batteries.
Shouldn't he just never buy a car again?
@@AlexDrums482 hell yeah. If he can.. I certainly would never buy a car again, if I could..
Well Chevy means 'sheeeeeet' in French
Scotty is such a good driver he can test drive a car in the passenger seat
And he is a great back seat driver too! (enter horse laugh here)
Tesla ain't got s**t on Scotty.
Lolol
I don't know about you guys, but I've been pushing the like button on every Scotty video I watched so far.
Me too. He’s great.
Wow. That is some next level diagnosis techniques! 👍
Thanks for the video Scotty,! Taking the day off here in Minnesota,. Bad weather to drive to work. Listening to the troubles others are having out on the roads. Sure did cheer me up with this video.
Winter in Minnesota reminds me why for me, it’s a great state to be FROM. 😏🤷♂️👍🏻👌🏻🤫🤭
Niece totaled out her car hitting a semi that was in ditch this morning she's ok.
Smart.
"If the wheel goes klunka klunka"...love it!!
65 years as a mechanic i have found those who know the least think they know everything about everything ..you know the brain deads!!! thank you for helping those who you have helped over the many many years including me!!! you are a mechanic mechanic!!!
Scotty I really enjoy your personality. Thank you for the direct, clear and concise information. You make it fun.
I've had a co-worker's wife's suv rear axle gone bad, because she can't drive & keeps hitting curbs whenever she makes a right turn. I always find a smooth spot for all 4 tires, to do this you need to know where the 4 tires are so you could dodge potholes & curbs. Never had a wheel bearing problem.
Scotty is very thorough with the diagnosis. I bet it cost major $$$.
Great video! Very informative! Thanks!
Scotty has ALL of the tools. Damn.
I'm so happy I was laughing as much as Scotty at the end. "GM help me I need to prevent a fire" GM: Here use this metal foil
Some of their other repairs are equally hilarious....like chaining the motor to the frame bc of faulty rubber motor mounts that break off without warning.
Doesn't matter. Today's GM cares about Diversity and ESG scores.
This was my absolute favorite video of urs scotty
Good work, Scotty.
I've has a couple that drove to the shop on fire. Then you need more than a bearing. In the old days there were very few bearing failures as the timken bearings were spaced a few inches apart, and they could be re-greased. Today there are 2 rows of ball bearings close together, way more pressure on close bearings than spaced bearings when you are cornering.
Love it Scotty, always bring a smile to my face. 😁
Thanks Scotty!
GREAT video! I have a 20 year old VR6 model which started making fairly loud noises the last few weeks, coming from under the car. It's not the engine or the manual tranny, so we are going to look into this. Another possibility would be tie rods going bad, but I don't know what kind of noise, if any, a failing tie rod would produce.
This is cool. I need these listening devices.
Our guests drove up here from the south of France. The bad bearing was easy to find by looking at the wheel that cooked blue around the centercap.
Great video
Scotty knows what he’s doing 👌
Scotty, thanks for the trip down memory lane and The Red Green Show. Duct tape is the handyman's secret weapon. Keep up the good UA-cam videos.
Yet again you're the man scotty we love you God bless these videos
Thanks. Learning a lot with your videos. Suprised you knew about red green show. KEEP YOUR STUCK ON THE ICE!
Scotty, remember: Some engineers are fast, and some engineers are slow, but many are half-fast.
Don't forget half-assed
@@hyperwebbing - do you state the obvious much in daily life, too?? ("half-fast's" meaning was understood)
@@hyperwebbing hhhhhh😂😂😂 nice one right there
most engineers do not understand what they think they know.
@@donbahn1319 If cars were designed by mechanics they would reduce fuel consumption in the US because they would always be broken down.
If you have a plumber perform your heart surgery, good luck in your next life.
It is so bizarre seeing Scotty driving around the town I've lived in most my life...
Most of those similar ( like the video bearing ) problems i diagnose with a on the car wheel balancer, let the wheel spin into high revs.. and the noise will come at some point.. you also can jack up the specific wheel with the suspension on load.. never failed..and don,t have to stick your head out of the car.. Best regards from Spain
What fun is that? 😂🥰
Scotty "You-can't-foil-me!" Kilmer hits another homerun! Bravo! Scotty, I went from being a teacher of ESL to a reliability tester to a teacher of Quantum mechanics thanks to Matthewave 935. This object cuts to the chase. Speaking of which, by way of example check out 9:34 if you want to see an example of how well 935 finds the golden nuggets, the priceless gems!
I googled that 935 matthewave stuff. Wtf lol
I learned something. Thank you.
Well, that bonus question & answer was so funny... I unbuckled my seat belt and fell off the seat ! LOL
Grandpa Kilmer back at it! 🔥
Mr. Kilmer love u tonsss... U are a saver n my hero ... Nazim(mechanical Engineer) FRM Hyderabad, India.
I had a car a few years ago and had very little noise. Then I changed the tyres and the noise was horrendous. That's when I discovered the wheel bearings were worn and had to be changed.
I have 2 new front hubs for my 2001 Durango to install. The original pair is beginning to him a little. Mines 2wd so it's a fairly simple process and I'll replace the front pads while I'm there, it's time for that too.
It's funny my 19 250 has the same recall, haven't had it in for any warranty repair since I bought it so it doesn't have any aluminum tape under the the tensioner modules yet. I'm still here and had the same hysterical reaction you had to it!
The Bolt foil solution as as bad as the Ford "piece of sheet metal wrapped around the front strut coil spring" solution. The springs had internal corrosion and would suddenly break, slicing into the tire. A friend's Taurus had this happen when his wife was backing the car out of the garage, luckily she wasn't at speed on the highway.
Scotty......you amaze me. You ARE an incredible mechanic. I don't know how many times I went to the dealer(1st mistake) with a problem and they couldn't resolve it.
Finally found an ACE MECHANIC, much like you. He is straight forward and solves the mystery.
I enjoy your posts and the knowledge you put out.
Keep up the work you do. You are highly respected.
Thanks.
you want to hear it here you go
Share it with us please
When a wheel bearing is making a noise I take it on the highway, turn the steering wheel slightly left then right. If the hum is louder when turning right or left. It's usually the opposite side. If you turn slightly left & it gets quieter it's usually the right wheel bearing & vice versa.
Thanks for keeping it real Scotty 👍
I miss the old pre-2007 GM. I replaced my front wheel bearings in my 2000 Blazer at 190k miles. They don't make cars like they used to. It's quite sad.
I had a 2014 Buick Regal that ate wheel bearings. Replaced both rears twice and a front one too.
You should have a professional body person look at it because it sounds like it's been wrecked and repaired. But they didn't do the job properly and so the wheels and tires may not be running true across the patch wheel and axle alignment with the body of the vehicle and the front
Just bolt the old one off and bolt the new one on! HA! Try doing that on a car from the northern states, and the hub is rust-welded on. I used a hub buster on one once, and it still took over 200 hard whacks with a mallet to get the old hub off (no sledgehammer available). Great ab workout, though!
A TV show starring Scotty and Red Green, the ultimate DIY/Car show!!!!
Scotty and Red would NOT get along- duct tape doesn't fix all! ♥️ both though!
It's actually pretty easy to figure out which side it is. When you turn left the weight of you car shifts to the right and if the sound is louder at that point it is bad on the right side. Now front to back is not too hard usually but I don't have a tip for that
Classic Scotty! No wonder he’s got a bazillion subscribers. 😀
Amazing! Someone actually diagnosing the problem vs. throwing parts at it great work!
Scotty you are enjoyable and funny.
Keep up your awesomeness!
I haven’t heard the red green show referenced in some time haha 😂
Damn... Scotty's laugh is contagious 😅😅😅😅😅
This guy gives me "Back to the Future" vibes....I see you Doc
For Toyota/Lexus: use SKF hubs with Koyo Japan bearings. It's the way to go as they represent OEM quality. 😃👍
No need to go that route on a 200k car. Cheap parts are good enouvh to last 100k or a few years before major parts or an accident takes out the car.
Scotty, you never cease to amaze me!Your workup on this car beats any job a human medical doctor does on any of his regular customers. If we had physicians like you we would efinitely be much healthier!Way to go!
What's up Scotty! Thanks for all the help and for keeping it real.
@Mityob67 - do you always start off sentences with "What's up.....?" Do you expect people to answer those meaningless words?
@@warriormanmaxx8991 The colloquial greeting ended with an exclamation point versus a question mark, and wasn't addressed to you. Yet, you responded, so clearly it worked. Hey friend!🤣
Scotty for president 2024!! 🇺🇸🔥
I swear Mr Kilmer keeps me sane.
Hello Scotty.
Can you provide us a link told a few different of these ultrasonic noise detecing units that work and you would recommend please.
Thank you.
My 17 Toyota Yaris (French built) had both rear wheel bearing go out. I let them go until they made some real noise. 1st one went at ~50K, 2nd one at ~75K.
My 2012 Yaris (Japanese built) had one go out after hitting a curb @ 200K. Sold the car @ 265K
When it comes to swapping out wheel bearings, these cassete-style bearings are nice.
I went thru the WHOLE VIDEO and I have NO CLUE what "THIS" is that destroys your bearings...
Good one Scotty, my question, if you put the car into neutral on the move isn't risky or dumb to move back into drive, I would think coming to a complete stop then re-engaging the transmission would be best ??
If it's an automatic it wouldn't matter because the fluid mechanical clutch limits the force that can be allowed through the drivetrain. I suppose it could be rougher on your transmission mounts, but other than that, no real problem, your car will shift under load while driving, so it's not really a difference in operation.
Scotty you make me laugh but your honesty is great enjoy your videos
I would have bet you $$ that when a wheel bearing started going out that it was my left front. I was told it's better to replace both, so I did. It was actually the right front. It really wasn't very expensive to do both. I'm glad I did.
I bought a set of wheel bearings for my 2010 Yaris because many say that you should change them out at least every 100,000 miles (or less) and it was at 148,000 at the time. It's now 153,000 and still have not changed them because I just couldn't get the dang thang off! But I was wondering if it was really unnecessary since I'm not really hearing any noise and it seem to be rolling (by hand) just as good as the new one I also rolled by hand. So what do you think? I still have them in a box safe in the house.
thx scotty u are a national Treasure
I recently changed out the 4 bearing assemblies on a 2007 prius. it me the fronts are loud, it passes the shake test and the spin test on the lift, but as you wisely pointed out you need the weight on it to hear it. I am getting the wired microphone like you have, I hoping to narrow it down to one side or the other, i cant believe both are bad out of the box. ( i did torque the axel nut to spec, and the noise does not change if coasting in neutral). some one suggested CV joints, every hear a CV joint whir like a failing bearing?
Hi Scotty! You mentioned The Red Green Show. Didn't think you got that show. Probably when you lived in Ont.
Would it be a good idea to try the meter on the driver side rear bearing as well to compare??
Brought one of my cars to a mechanic one time for the same thing. We talked about how long it would have had after I paid for it. He said when it's making that sound, that's your warning to change the wheel bearing.
There’s another post where a mechanic told a lady it could fall off in one mile or 100. She decided to take her chances and it fell off on her way home from the mechanic’s shop.
Scotty, with all your gadgets, you're more of a computer Poindexter need then Gilbert and Lewis from Revenge of the Nerds! Love your dogged troubleshooting :) You need to wear a white lab coat too :)
Thanks for the always good advice
Not fanboying but man i love this guy. His videos are very educational and funny 😁
Thats fanboying bro 😂😂
Had same issue with my 2008 Nissan Maxima it was the right rear one. Once replaced the car felt like brand New car again.
Your the best Scotty
Love it
I drove with bad wheel bearings for 3000 miles and made a really bad grinding noise and was told to wait till abs came on never did and needed to be replaced before they fell off was 572 for two of them to replace parts and labor for mercury millan which mecanic said is normal maintenance for them
Nice Lift Jack Scotty
I have never in my long life seen discount auto parts store.
if the roads are bad like they are in parts of CT in the northeast, wheel bearings go at all times on every make and brand. My Toyota and Honda they failed at 140,000 miles. On my Subaru, two of them went at 130,000. Unfortunately, the more potholes you fail to miss or more bumpy roads you have to drive on that need replacement, wheel bearings fail all that more often. It is just something you have to live with no matter what brand car you own.
I replace wheel bearings in pairs, if one went the other one very well may.
😆 🤣 😂 now I've heard everything!
9:32 *LAUGH OF THE DAY* ! Fires from seatbelts? Is there anything that actually *DOES WORK* the way it's supposed to on GM vehicles? 😲😲😲
Possibly similar issue with my Jeep Cherokee KJ [known as a Liberty in the US]. Gets really loud when hitting the freeway. Mechanic looked it over and could only suggest either front left [passenger side in UK] wheel bearing or front differential. Any tips as to how to home it down to a definitive diagnosis?
The state of our roads here in Queensland it's a wonder any of our cars still have functioning wheels
Thank God they spent our registration taxes so wisely on road maintenance .....
Red Green Reference, +1 Rep points
If one has no idea of what would be the "normal" "noise," would you then listen to both sides to compare the noise and figure out which one is noisier? And, if the noise is due to wear and tear (age or mileage), would you then replace both sides? Thanks
I was wondering, do potholes cause the bearing to fail as well?
Yes. Shock can pit bearing surfaces and reduce longevity bearing.
Funny rear seat driving - should both rear bearings be changed at the same time ?
❤❤
The problem with jacking the car up and spinning the wheel is that the weight of the wheel is carried by the top half of the fixed bearing inner race which may still be in good condition. The damage if any will first appear on the permanently loaded lower half of this bearing and will not be detected by this method but only much later when the whole bearing is damaged. So this method is not good for picking up the problem in it's early stages but only much later. It's still OK if you realise this and treat the sound/vibration as an urgent signal to replace the bearing immediately. (from a professional vibration analyst/engineer who spent much of his life making damage assessments on all sorts of rotating industrial equipment).
THIS WAS FUNNY, SCOTTY....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The story about the tin foil is just brilliant 🤣🤣
