    A lot of these repairs I can't do on my own. No shop. No ramp. Living in an apartment complex, no private garage, no electrical outlet, no storage for equipment or tools, but good knowledge in the videos for future reference or to bring up eith my mechanic. I like the mechanic in the video. She sort of speaks in layman's terms, so I understand what she is explaining. Very knowledgeable. 👍.

    Thanks so much for your video!! Losing my mind trying to figure out what was causing the strange wum-wum-wum loud road sound in the front end of my 2001 Silverado ext cab 2WD. Was considering the wheel bearing assembly might be to blame. Still have to wiggle the wheel and test for that. Tires are showing a little cupping.. been making the sound for about a month or so now. Just this week it started that nasty creaking sound you so clearly demonstrate in your video. Got to jack the thing up tomorrow and do some investigating. Thanks for the wonderful information!!
