    awesome video dude! Thank you for your service as well.
    Question, for the torque wrench, what kinda drive we working with here in regard to the torque wrench for the steering knuckle & FWD shaft nut that is.
    3/8th?
    3/4th ?
    or 1/2 ?

    • @HowtoandReviewsOfficial
      @HowtoandReviewsOfficial  2 года назад

      Thanks, I appreciate it.
      The steering knuckle could use a 3/8” or 1/2” drive torque wrench (their torque ranges overlap).
      The axle nut needed a 1/2” drive torque wrench.
      I do not have a 3/4” drive torque wrench. (My axle nut socket was 3/4” drive, but I used an adapter).
      I hope that helps!

    Good video. What indicators lets you know you need to change your wheel barring?

    • @HowtoandReviewsOfficial
      @HowtoandReviewsOfficial  2 года назад +4

      Typically a growling or howling noise when driving. It will typically get louder when turning because inertia shifts more weight to the bad bearing and really loaded it up.
      In this specific case, there were no functional problems with the actual bearing. The magnetic encoder ring fell off. This is needed for the wheel speed sensors to work, so my abs and stabilitrak were not working correctly.

    Hey, so when I’m driving anything over 45 mph and try braking, my wheel starts to wobble and makes the steering wheel shake, do you think changing out the hub assembly would fix the problem

    • @HowtoandReviewsOfficial
      @HowtoandReviewsOfficial  11 месяцев назад

      If it wobbles when braking, that is the result of warped rotors. Look into replacing your brake pads and brake rotors.
      If it is a bad wheel bearing hub assembly, there would always be a humming/groaning sound, which gets worse when you turn. Not related to using the brakes.

    • @HowtoandReviewsOfficial
      @HowtoandReviewsOfficial  Год назад +1

      If you are hearing noise, try turning/swerving left and right while driving. If the noise gets louder and quieter when you do this, it is likely the wheel bearing. Turning left will load up the right side bearings with additional force, and decrease the load on the left bearings. This will make the bad bearing louder when loaded with force, and quieter when unloaded.

    do you rest the weight of the vehicle right there on the jackstands, or is the vehicle just floating above the stands?

    • @HowtoandReviewsOfficial
      @HowtoandReviewsOfficial  2 года назад +1

      Rest all of the weights of the vehicle onto the jackstands. They should hold all of the weight with no floor jack required at all. I just left the floor jack in place because why not? Otherwise, I would have to remove the floor jack then put it back again when I’m done. I had more than enough room to just leave it in position.

      Hello! I have not had any power steering issues in this vehicle, so I’m not familiar with the details of the system.
      The best I can tell you is that the power steering system in this vehicle is an electric motor. There is not the typical power steering pump with power steering fluid. I
      The problem is likely an electrical problem. Loose wires or bad motor or something.
      I would recommend starting with a Google search. Since this vehicle is now eight years old, it is very possible that there is a common problem with a well documented fix.

      It’s essentially the same for the rear, but more simple. There is no axle shaft going through the center. The center of the wheel bearing hub assembly is just an empty hole. No axle and axle nut.

    I was finally able to successfully complete my left front hub assembly using a breaker bar and a pipe. However, on my right front It as a nightmare with the rod assembly and the front shock . It would not align. I had to remove the shock and one of the rods to align it. Now i believe the brakes are making a horrible noise and my ABS light and stability lights are on. Do you think I reinstalled my caliper too tight or was it because I removed the shock and rod?

      The ABS and Stabilitrak lights are the result of the wheel speed sensor not working properly.

      Do the brakes always make a noise when the wheel is rotating? If so, probably just the dust shield rubbing on the rotor. Should be as easy as bending the dust shield back a bit.

Needless to say, it scratched the hell out of the rotor. Anyways, I corrected and now it makes a grinding noise when it slows down. You're right about the speed.sensor.

      So, I finally had a chance to work on it today. It's not the dust plate rubbing against the rotor, but the caliper against the wheel! Its not loud, but it's very abvious. There is definitely rubbing marks on both the calipers and the rear wheel. What went Wrong?? I reinstalled the calipers and made sure they were tight. Also, I forgot to mention that the new AC Delco wheel bearing housing does NOT have a hole for the screw, so the rotor just moves around, but that didn't cause any problems on the drivers side. I'm thinking of redoing the whole thing because maybe something went wrong when I installed the wheel bearing housing??

      @@osso7891 That definitely should not happen. The components stack up so everything is in the correct location with no interference.
      First, I would make sure everything is in the tightened down security.
      If it is, I would be looking at the wheel bearing. It is the only component in the equation that was changed. Maybe it’s the incorrect wheel bearing. Not having the tapped hole for the rotor adds some suspicion to that possibility.

    1 1/4 is NOT 32mm lmfao so thank you for that, after multiple trips to oreillys I finally figured its actually a 1 and 5/16 which is equivalent to 34MM NOT 32mm. So how did you manage to get a 1 1/4 on it???

    • @HowtoandReviewsOfficial
      @HowtoandReviewsOfficial  Год назад +2

      Thanks for pointing this out.
      I agree that 1-1/4” does not equal 34 mm (it is 31.75 mm).
      The correct size is 34 mm. I do not have metric sockets that large. My 1-1/4” socket worked. The difference is only 2.25 mm, so my socket was likely slightly oversized/sloppy. But yes, 1-5/16” is the correct equivalent for 34 mm.
      1-1/4” = 31.75 mm (32 mm socket)
      34 mm = 1.34” (1-5/16” socket)
      2 mm or 1/16” difference in socket size.
      Sorry about the multiple trips to the parts store, glad you got it sorted out!
