So.....how do I check for worn ball joints or wheel bearings?
@daftpunk90502 жыл бұрын
for worn wheel bearing you wiggle the wheel up and down then turn 90 degrees and wiggle again to see if it moves. This works in many cases but it's not 100%. Sometimes the bad bearing is solid. You have to listen for the noise as you turn the wheel. You will hear a grinding sound. Gets louder when driving. For ball joints no idea.

Nice diagnosis on the bent spindle but no info on ball joints or bearings. I had a boss/shop owner back in the late 70's where we worked exclusively on the Datsun Z cars who would have come unglued to see one of us mechs toss that hubcap face down on the concrete like that....oh the memories!

Hi Pete, I was wondering if you can give me some advice. I was in an accident in which a driver hit my front passenger bumper and wheel. I was making a right turn onto a side street.The person was going down the shoulder of the road attempting to pass me. I was told by the autobody shop I need a spindle. The car is a Nissan Sentra 2002 GXE 1.8 liter engine, no ABS. The car has only 11,000 miles--that's why I got it repaired. The problem is getting a spindle for it ,so that the mechanic can fix the wheel. Txs. Jim from Newburgh, N.Y.
@PetesGarage2 жыл бұрын
