Honda Element bad wheel bearing diagnosis and replacement

In this video, we diagnose not only a bad wheel bearing but also a bad lower ball joint. One likely caused the other, and without proper diagnosis of both issues, the wheel bearing (initial diagnosis) would have prematurely worn out if the lower ball joint had not also been replaced. This is not an end all be all of wheel bearing replacement or lower ball joint replacement. It's simply the way that I do it after 2 decades of experience as a mechanic.

I don't have much experience working on my car but this video is a great place to start. I think I could tackle this job with a bit of help. Feeling a bit more confident! Thanks.

[@classicautomotivenc]

Thanks! Glad it can help and you liked it. I’ll have some more coming out soon. Since I’m a one man show usually, it’s film or get work done but the carbon fiber parts I’m working on are starting to look great. Element specific parts (:

Yeah can’t really see WTF you’re doing bob.. but cool shirt

[@classicautomotivenc]

@@Samoan_D well since this channel isn’t monetized, I can’t afford a cameraman. So it is what it is. Seems to have helped other Element owners though. Maybe I need a volunteer camera person with good equipment. Lol

[@alextheromanian]

what kind of shocks and struts are those?

[@classicautomotivenc]

@@alextheromanian they are Bilsteins that adapted to fit the Element. (Originally for an 02-06 CRV)

I just changed mine. It sounded really chuggy but didn't have alot of play.
