    My steering wheel vibrates when i go over 80-85km and a little clicking sound just started from my front passenger side.. I hear it mostly when im driving slowly what could that be ?

    • @wayofthewrench
      @wayofthewrench Před 7 hodinami

      Could be a wheel out of balance but if the clicking is speed dependent, then I would check your wheel bearings. Hope that helps. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!

    On my 03 Saturn L200, my passenger front wheel area is shaking both on acceleration and at highway speeds. The outer tie rod, ball joint and CV axle all have been replaced. There’s no humming, but the wheel assembly itself is loose, so wondering if the hub is bad? Previous owner smacked a curb @40 mph and blew the rim and tire before I bought it and I’ve replaced those as well of course.

    • @wayofthewrench
      @wayofthewrench Před 7 hodinami

      Could very well be a damaged hub or warped rotor. A dial indicator on a magnetic base can show you out of round/damaged parts as you spin the wheel or hub. Hope that helps. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!

    When i accelerate it sounds like the wheel of fortune ticking type noise while the wheels are moving only. It’s coming from the front i can’t tell which side. I just replaced the rotors and pads. Could this be my issue ?

    • @wayofthewrench
      @wayofthewrench Před 7 hodinami

      Maybe jack up the front and spin each wheel to see if you can replicate the sound and see if there is something making the noise. I have a road test a wheel bearing video you should watch too. Thanks for the watch!

    Was a very difficult job getting the first one off. Finally found a really sharp edge chisel and got a tiny crack behind the bearing housing. That was enough to loosen it and it came off with a hammer. I tried all of the utube videos.

    EricThe Car Guy says that's how you check to see if your alignment parts are good or not. When you check like you do, is it possible that the movement is because of the linkages?

    • @wayofthewrench
      @wayofthewrench Před dnem

      To check for steering components, you check for play left and right. For suspension components, you check for up/down. For bearings, you check up/down and left/right. Looseness in all directions is either a wheel bearing, loose lugnuts, or both steering and a suspension component. Hope that helps. You should check out Eric's how to jack up a car video. Then check mine. If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!

    Thank you so much. That was so educational to a non mechanic. That's what was wrong with my car. A nice boy at the tire shop diagnosed for me as he was doing an alignment. For me a clunking sound was heard whenever I did a particular low speed turn. It was inconsistent and was misdiagnosed as a suspension issue so I'm hoping this fix will do the trick! Oh and you're really cute too.

    Hi, i really like your videos and you inspired me to start to build my own pinball cabinet. My only worry with that is the crafting part, especially the metal workings like in this video. I dont have any experience with that, or any tools to learn it. For woodworking i will work together with my father in law, so he can support me with that. I am an IT guy, so the wireing and configuring of components will be no problem. What would you recommend me to do? Buy premade ones and plan the cabinet to fit the bar? Im really excited for hours now, watching almost every part of your journey and meanwhile its 2:40 in the morning here in Germany. The end result looks so amazing that i am a little intimidated to be honest. I hope my cabinet will look half as good as yours.

May i ask how many weeks/months it took to build? It looks and feels like many many weekends 😅 My mother in law has wanted a Indiana Jones table for a very long time, but a original one in good shape will go for 12-15k Euros over here.

    Question. 2017 Mazda Miata, open diff, rear wheel drive. When rear of car is on jacks and I spin the wheels, the diff moves side to side and there's a clunking from wheel and difficult to spin. Don't feel much play in the wheel itself. When driving no howling sound, but hitting bumps make a creaking sound in the rear, reversing slowly makes creak sounds on uneven ground even if stationary in Park with car running. Seems weight dependent like if a passenger sits in the car it gets louder. Also happens on hard right turns with enough weight shift, doesn't happen on left turns. Suspension is all good, bushings are all good. Any ideas? Please tell me this is likely a wheel bearing.

    • @wayofthewrench
      @wayofthewrench Před 2 dny

      Sounds more like a anti roll bar bushing or end link to me. Try driving over a speed bump at low speed dead on and then again at an angle. If it makes noise like a creak when at an angle, it is your sway bar/ anti roll bar bushings or end link. Hope that helps!

      @wayofthewrench Roll bar bushings and end links seem good. BUT when I grab on the passenger rear Axle and push/pull on it, it does move slightly and clunk inside the hub and diff. Driver side doesn't do this. Should I replace that axle or hub/bearing assembly?

    Looking forward to the new series! I'm really curious to see what you use for RGB buttons, as I have yet to find some that I like. Also, am I crazy or did you mention putting in a LEDwiz board on the first machine, and then skip it?

    • @wayofthewrench
      @wayofthewrench Před 2 dny

      There's a bunch of options but I have MX led boards from Arnoz that I'm going to try. No no, your not losing your mind. I did purchase an ledwiz board and groovy game gear frosted RGB buttons to put into totan so I do have options and might use those in totan after. Thanks for the watch and enjoy the series! Cheers!

    • @DyoGTS
      @DyoGTS Před 2 dny

      I could never find a good concaved LED button, ideally either with a leaf switch or a MX Silver switch, but I'll try some from Groovy Game Gear - I had never heard of them and on paper it looks good, so thanks for that! I really enjoy your style of video, so I'm really looking forward to this new series. Since you had previously asked for content suggestions, I have a few to consider: *LED-Wiz - overview, configure/use *Network game management - since you'll have two cabinets, using one machine or a NAS to store all the tables, PUP files, etc. (shared high scores should work?) *Creating your own DOF effects - I know you mentioned the possibility of looking into this, but perhaps not a lot of people would be interested in coding aspect *Setting table POV, applying to all other tables *Jukebox setup - there's been a lot of talk about this one recently, but people are having a hard time finding resources and downloads * Tables you recommend - maybe even just give us one table suggestion per video (I only recently got around to Batman '66 and it is awesome with DOF lighting)

    If it shakes up and down and side to side it could also be loose suspension parts (tie rods and ball joints), not necessarily a bad wheel bearing. Seen it many times. You have to look at where the movement is coming from

    • @wayofthewrench
      @wayofthewrench Před 3 dny

      Yes you are correct, up/down is usually suspension components and left right is steering components. Both up/down and left/right can be bade bearing, loose lug nuts, or suspension and steering components. Thanks for the watch!

      You don't need the serial number if you're only running one board. If your running more than one, you might need to find that out.

      Hey don't worry, there's absolutely nothing wrong with how I built my budget build, in fact like I stated in the video, I'm keeping my old one to play on. The only thing I'm doing is building another vpin with different parts so that people know how to install these parts. The other thing is this vpin is a big budget so I can have 4k 120 Hz capability. If you already are planning on a 1080p one then you're golden! If you want to use different parts from Arnoz or Cleveland Software then that info is coming. Good luck on your build and thanks for the watch! Enjoy the series!

I've been thinking about building one with a 48" OLED but am wondering what the cons would be. I think I will start my build and build along with you, well... I'll run 2-4 videos behind you. =D

      Me too! Thanks bud! Well it'll be more than a 1980 Honda Civic and less than a 2024 Honda Civic....lol. not 100% sure as I'm still applying for credit....lol. it's more...the PC alone will most likely be $3000 and the playfield is $1500. I am going with a 42" so I can use a widebody flatpack which will be a loose fit and have room for aled strips and a matrix. I will put a 48" OLED in my totan cabinet later. That would be cool to build along with me, if you do, send me update pics! Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel. Enjoy the series!

      Up and down play will be suspension components, take a prybar and check for play on upper or lower ball joints and or strut mounts or control arm bushings. Make sure it's jacked up and get someone to help you with a light. A jingle could be something stuck in the tire like a small section of chain. I had this in a customer car tire this year.

      Thanks! Glad you found the channel! The swap should be pretty self explanatory as long as you have a kit or all of the parts. The main differential axle tubes should have a spot for mounting the caliper bracket if not then the kit might require a part to be welded on before the install. Remember that other components might need to be replaced like a proportioning valve etc. Hope you can get it figured out. Thanks for the watch!
