Your video helped a ton, I do all my mechanics in the driveway, I really enjoyed seeing how to do it that same way instead of in a shop. I'll be watching more.
I have a 2004 VW Golf and I had to replace both front bearings, the right axle and abs sensor. I get everything working right and some stupid driver in Decatur, Ga. Tried to take off my right front end. $2900 worth of work. His insurance fixed it but the body shop didn't push the hub all the way in and now my abs light stay on. I didn't take it back to the shop because I had to fight them. They install a used axle instead of a new one. The used axle was throwing grease onto the new wheel. Lucky I made a video of me installing the new axle less than a year before the crash. Geico had no choice but to cut another check.
Man listen, I have done a bearing job once!! It took me two days. The race had to be heated off. The next time the bearing messed up, I bought a new knuckle with the bearing attached already. More expensive, less headache
I have a 2019 escape with a whoomp whoomp whoomp sound at 40-50 mph. At highway speed it goes away and it don’t seem to be affected much by turning. I was thinking it was a wheel bearing but I figured that should get noisier on the highway at higher speed. There’s no clicking noises so not sure if it would be the CV axle. Any idea what this could be?
It’s not the tires as the noise was there with my winter wheels on and the same noise is there when I changed those out for the summer wheels. Not sure if the brakes could be causing it as the front brakes are getting worn. Also my gas mileage is not as good lately so maybe the front brake caliper is sticking.
It’s at the dealer now. A wheel bearing is gone. Weird how turning never changed the sound and how it was less noisy on the highway. Maybe it’s an earlier stage failure. It did start making some noise at highway speed so it was getting worst. Perhaps the next stage would have been noise changes when turning.
@newfie-dean5803 Your absolutely correct. It was getting worse. I've have cars that didn't sound like a bad wheel bearing, but was. Glad you found the problem.
If there's no tone ring(ring with teeth) around the CV shaft, the sensor usually reads off the bearing. If that's the case, the bearing needs to be pressed in with the magnetic/seal side facing the direction of the speed sensor. One side of the bearing is silver/aluminum and the other mag side is grey/black.
Did you lose any trans fluid when removing the axle assembly? Also, the service manual calls for replacing the shaft seal on the transmission, which I don't find totally necessary. I assume you left that in place?
So i installed my cv axle on the same side of my 18' escape and i know its seated properly but now the car wont move. Do you have any idea why this might be? I didnt loose any transmission fluid during the install so i didnt add any when i was finished. Im at a total loss..
So on my original install it was working but the trans kept slipping so i knew it needed to be pushed in further,'i did that lastnight and it went in all the way, now its not moving at all
@peggypatsy91 Nah bad ball joints won't keep the tires from rotating. It's only 2 things that could be wrong. It's not seated properly or low transmission fluid.
Thank you so much for your insight, i appreciate it. I guess im gonna flush the trans then🙄 of course the escape is sealed trans so this should be fun! Lol
@Jaguarspaw5 Yeah, I don't charge by the hr. Not sure where your located, but I use yourmechanic.com repairpal.com and call reputable shops and dealership to compare prices. I just make sure I'm lower.
Amazing what a guy with some good experience and determination can do in a parking lot. Props!
Thanks man!✊🏾 I prefer being mobile than being in a shop. Its been 9yrs
So calm...I'll be swearing up a storm. Thanks for the video. This will be my weekend project.
You're welcome! I hope this video helps you get through it👨🏾🔧

That's wild man. Glad they cut another check. They know they dead wrong
@@ThePullUpKing I sub and your p1326 video gave me an idea for a new video.

Lol And ppl wonder why the labor cost so much.
Niiice bro. I'm also a business owner of Mobile mechanical my self... Good tips! Well done!
Thanks alot bro!😎 Good luck out there... it's tough.💪🏾🧑🏾🔧
Thank you so much for having the tool number and which part you used for each step! One of the best step by step videos I have watched!
Yessirr, no problem! I try my best. Thanks for watching!
Great video, thanks for sharing! I need to do the passenger axle on our 18 Escape.
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching💯
Nice video, my friend !!
Thanks alot! And thanks for watching!
Hell ya man, thank you!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
On my escape I bought the whole knuckle, I was not pressing no bearings out.
I feel u

Have your wheel bearings inspected

What does the speed sensor read? I don't see a ring there 🤔
The speed of a vehicle's wheel rotation. It usually consists of a toothed ring and pickup.
If there's no tone ring(ring with teeth) around the CV shaft, the sensor usually reads off the bearing. If that's the case, the bearing needs to be pressed in with the magnetic/seal side facing the direction of the speed sensor. One side of the bearing is silver/aluminum and the other mag side is grey/black.

Barely. No, I didn't replace it. Left the old one on.
Did your passenger front cv axle have a retaining clip?
No
How much harder is the drivers side axel?
Bout the same
What size socket did you use??
I say what size for each bolt I remove.
So i installed my cv axle on the same side of my 18' escape and i know its seated properly but now the car wont move. Do you have any idea why this might be? I didnt loose any transmission fluid during the install so i didnt add any when i was finished. Im at a total loss..
It's not seated properly
So on my original install it was working but the trans kept slipping so i knew it needed to be pushed in further,'i did that lastnight and it went in all the way, now its not moving at all
Do you think it could be cause my ball joint is shot? It had like 3 holes in it
@peggypatsy91 Nah bad ball joints won't keep the tires from rotating. It's only 2 things that could be wrong. It's not seated properly or low transmission fluid.
