Just a comment on this issue. Wheel bearing, old school diagnosis, remove wheel sensor and squirt in som gear oil (75-90) if the noise goes away you should go get a new wheel bearing! To add to this these newer factory sealed an lubed hubs are inadequately lubed which leads to premature drying of the lube/grease. Again same treatment of adding dose of gear oil early on when servicing/ grease ad lube/. Will increase longevity of your wheel bearing by preventing the drying out. Bearing will rarely wear out if adequate lube is present. I think under lube is part of planned obsolescence!

Before FWD vehicles 1960s 70s vehicles were easy to repack the wheel bearings as they were not sealed to keep dust and water out. They were easy to replace also.

My good friend I would also like to add my experience with bad front bearings . While my 1500 was even under warranty there was a vibration on the steering wheel even on a straight line no matter the speed . The vibration was noticeable between 1500-2200 rpm. Long story short after numerous back and forth with few dealerships and misdiagnosis even came to the point that the dealership told me “ what you expect your truck is not new “ that was at 50.000km, one dealership decided to actually look in too it and they replaced the front bearings. Problem went away on the spot! Just like to share with you as there might be another reason too.

15 years working on cars in the automotive industry, I have never seen a wheel hub bearings just fall off by itself without any fighting. 😅😅

[operationNOBO]

Great information.
A sidenote for any Ram owners...if your abs sensor light comes and you replace the sensor...it may work for a day or a few weeks. But ultimately it likely means your wheel bearing is bad.
Dont be like me haha thing was seized on and took 45 minutes to hammer off.

That wheel bearing can off surprisingly easy. You’re lucky. Keep up the great videos

[hectorabundis]

Thank you finally a video that shows me the same noise my car makes when accelerating.

[chrisb]

This is exactly to the tee, the sound my bearing is making as well on my 14' ram 1500 4x4. My wheels also would spin almost identical to how yours would. Maybe 2 or 3 rotations and that's it. Thanks for posting this great video bro. Much appreciated!

[chorizojuice]

That’s exactly what mine sounds on my nissan titan and also no wobble. Thanks for the vid

[nealmeeker]

Just replaced the passenger front sounded like I had mud tires on mine thanks for the great videos sir

[williamwhite]

My 2002 F150 4x4 was making a bearing noise and when the front left was loaded by turning right it got louder. The front left bearing hub replacement fixed it. About 10k miles later there was another bearing noise and it got louder when turning right exactly like before. I thought the new hub had failed but it turned out to be the front bearing hub on the right. Loading it by turning left made less noise and turning right made more noise the opposite of what you would expect. I guess it was a different bearing inside the hub that was failing. Replacing the right bearing hub fixed it. This had me confused for a while before I figured it out.

I always replace both so that I don't have to take it off twice. My wife's 2012 Ram 4x4 eats hub bearings and cvaxles because she drives it like she stole it LMAO

[anthonyknight]

this is 100% a wheel bearing. the clicking you hear is dry ballnbearing clicking and clacking up against each other. I just did my sister's bearing and same noise. get Heatin and get beatin

[naturepan]

Other way how to check if wheel bearing is bad, just hold spring and turn the wheel. Youll feel vibration by hand. Bad bearing gives noise and vibration to suspension spring :)

[UnknownIdaho]

This kind of thing would be prevented if the manufacturer just installed a zerk fitting and a bearing that allowed servicing. These types of bearings will generally last a lifetime if good quality steel and setup to maintain…

[gerhardpet]

Again what are the odds. Just a week or two ago I started hearing a noise coming from the front of my EcoDiesel and I'm pretty sure it's the same as what you're having. Now I know how to check it....thank you

[simonbone]

Great stuff. I've got a 2012 Nissan Qashqai (similar to a Rogue) with 185, 000 km on it. Last year the front wheel bearing went out with the classic droning sound. Easy to figure out. But the rear ones are now bad, too - making this very same clicking sound as in this video, but it's not easy to hear when driving. It's more like a tok-tok-tok with every rotation of the wheel, and then only audible driving slowly after the car has been going for a few minutes. I guess they are in the early stage of disintegration - i didn't notice anything when putting the summer tires on a few weeks ago. Thanks for the confirmation.

[k.a.c]

Man I watched so many videos. I knew you'd be the dude with the only one that made sense. My man. Shoulda looked here first.

[jakskelington]

You saved me bro! I currently dealing with that same freaking sound - sounds like pebbles bouncing all over the place . I thought it was my diff going out. Going to take the wheel and brakes off soon to check it. Thanks for this!

[mr.confused]

Just replaced my driver side (had the same tinking noise) only to find the same noise on the passenger side after I checked and went for a test drive and didn't notice a difference luckily doesn't take long to do on a 2wd.
