[@smarthome2660]

Incase you didn't know why, when Eric said it's always the right side that goes first... because this is New York, and with winter comes salting of roads. The salt accumulates on the gutter (right) side and rots out that side first.

[@GolfMike09]

You beat me to it. Have the same where my family live on a smallish island and they drive on the left. Most of the wear and tear, especially break pads is the front & back, left side. Mostly from the dirt, mud, salt and grime, etc.

[@dB_944]

I thought it was because the state is run by commie lefties. 😂

[@dougrobinson8602]

That's funny, because it was the left rear quarter panel on my wife's minivan that rusted clean through. Right side is fine.

[@rhkips]

First off, I have to give this customer props for his sense of humor, communication, and ability to gauge his knowledge and abilities. Can we have more of this customer in the world, please? Do not push on the caliper ear! I bent one on one of my cars once, and the brakes never wore evenly again. They are very very easy to deform, and impossible to put back where they should be. :( As a former California inhabitant, I can confirm, this is what working on cars is like in California! They just unbolt and come apart. My understanding of GM's strategy is that it will only completely disable ABS/Stabilitrak for an open circuit, short circuit, or completely missing wheel speed signal, but it has the ability to detect erratic signals like we saw here, and maintain functionality assuming it might not be erratic.

[@ShannonCoffey-l6b]

Yeah nice tool, but I do't think you need it for GM vehicles. I've done front hubs on Buick Lesabre and Chevy Suburban. If they all are like mine you don't need the tool. The hubs almost fell out or only needed a little tap. But I did hubs on a Ford explorer once and they took half an hour with a big hammer. Wish I I had that tool then.

[@JimLambier]

@@ShannonCoffey-l6b Getting the hub off my Explorer was by far the most difficult repair I've done. I was really close to tossing it and the knuckle in the trash. Torches, penetrants, slide hammers and big hammers did nothing.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

The jerking and bucking acts like abs and traction control because the Wheel speed Sensor Signal Is Eratic. I would change the wheel speed sensor bet it would fix the bucking. Going to be another good Casualty Of Rust Video Eric O 11:00 @South Main Auto Repair LLC

As a Chevy Traverse '16' owner, is this a Chevy or a New York issue. I live in MN and somehow feel lucky to have gotten back home from NC with out a problem. At 100k, It'd be good to have a list of items to replace to get 300 more out of these vehicles. Thank you for your honest service to the motoring public!

Here in Phoenix no need for Big Shot Blaster or puller theirs no rust here its all easy peasy. I still go to church on Sunday and the bar on Friday in the XT5.

[@jussikuusela7345]

Tensome years back I had a 1998 Mondeo that would lose power intermittently, and lose more power if you treaded on the accelerator... if you took the foot off the pedal and let the speed drop, it would resume normal operation. And of course it virtually never did this when troubleshooting. There were theories from throttle position sensor to MAF. Then on a particularly slippery day I noticed that when braking on mirror-clear ice the ABS would intermittently start pulsing instead of making a constant racket with fairly constant pedal force, and I had previously noticed that it would intermittently activate on grippy surfaces with little pedal force as well. But again, of course nothing like that happened when the seller or a mechanic tried to troubleshoot it. I have come to think that it probably had a problem with one or more wheel speed sensors, but all that would be masked by traction control kicking in - strangely the traction control indicator never went on, but my new hypothesis is that the car had this problem and instead of fixing the sensors, someone removed the light from the cluster. I never paid attention to whether or not it lit when fumbling with they key. I know about a case where a seller rewired the ABS indicator light from the oil pressure light to mask that it never truly went off. The new owner never got into any trouble with it and only found out when an inspector went in to check for codes and said there is a constant fault on the ABS, yet the light stays off after starting the engine - and that it always goes in sync with the oil light.

At the VW dealer, they describe "all the lights on the dash turned on" as "Christmas Tree" -- as in "it lights up like a Christmas Tree". It's happened twice now on my car -- both times wheel speed sensor. I'm waiting for the other two sensors to go bad at some point soon.

[@alantrimble2881]

No MIL also fails emissions inspection in PA. The counties bordering NYS are for the most part rural BFE & aren’t subject to emissions inspection.

[@pudermcgavin4462]

I've had lots of explorers and related that have the aluminum knuckles and the last 3 I've done have pulled the hub out of the bearing. So I've started pulling the knuckles and quoting them with the bearing! Why cuz I found the fracture force of the knuckles is 15 tons in the shop press! Bearing didn't budge!

[@alexandermartincausey7333]

My work van is a GMC Savana and I had a wheel speed sensor go out on me on the highway. It felt like a misfire. Bucking, flashing warning lights, carrying on. Then it turned off traction control and ABS but still acted up until I got to my next delivery. I turned it off and back on again and it drove normal, just with all the lights and warnings.

I love that Lisle tool. Unfortunately, the very first time I used it, the threads got galled up even though I had them good and greased up. Still works but it's life has been shortened quite a bit.

[@ShannonCoffey-l6b]

I looked closely at pictures of it and they say the shaft is Acme thread, If they were true Acme threads it should not gull up unless the shaft is not quality steel or not hardened. It is an expensive tool and for what they charge for it the threads should not gull up. Even a reputable company has problems with Chinese junk.

They are just a regular thread, so that's probably a big factor.

Those chevy wheel sensors can cause so many issues. In my 2009 Impala they would cause my car to throw a code and the display center would tell me "engine power reduced". The RPMs would go above about 2k and it would shift super hard. I just kept a 10mm wrench in my car so I could pull over and disconnect my battery to reset the code until i could change the sensor. And of course, the sensor is a permanent part of the hub assembly...

[@joesantiso6495]

I never thought of using Fluid Film on the knuckle or to prevent the dissimilar metal corrosion that happens between the aluminum wheel and hub. I've always applied a very thin film of anti-seize but now I'm wondering if one is better than the other. Sometimes removing those hubs can be quite difficult. I'm a bit concerned about the aluminum corrosion stuff suspended in the air so I use a fan to direct it away.

Back in the day you would never see a failed wheel bearing. Now with the unitized hub assemblies they're a regular replacement item. I understand why this design was used (easy installation on the assembly line...no adjustments) but definitely a step backwards in durability. It's not undersize bearings either, the bearings have to be a certain size to fit over the spindle which is designed to a strength level. Poor quality metallurgy is my guess.

[@sheimbach490]

I hope you are used to the train whistle. That whistle reminds me of my boyhood. When I grew up in the 50's, my home was 4 doors from a railroad yard where the locomotive would sort the box cars before sending a group of them to their destination.. Each time the locomotive crossed the street by law they had to blow the whistle. Well in the summer we did not have air conditioning and they did the sorting at night so as not to hinder car traffic. I don't miss that locomotive whistle any.

The lug nuts are 22.5MM? I had no idea they made that size socket, I learn more and more from this KZbin channel 😅

[@marknelson8724]

Some lugs swell up a bit since they had the cute chrome cover over the steel so the rust can jack up the size. I reach for my 3/4 inch socket in that case.

[@NBSV1]

It’s because they started putting thin sheet metal wraps on the lug nuts because it’s cheaper than really plating them. Downside is it makes them not precise in sizing so you need odd sockets to fit them, or end up damaging the nuts.
