  • 99 Chev Cav 2.4L when it gets cold out the ABS ETS and LOW TRAC lights intermittently come on. Restart the car n they are gone for a while. No ABS codes stored. all new front hubs n brake parts. new left front sensor harness still happening. Could a bad rear hub cause this? The left rear tire shimmys when in motion, but there is no roaring noise? This seems to be a common prob. Any advice i'd appreciate.

  • @plyons01 If the light happens to come on long enough to have the code read, that should point you in a direction as to what's causing the issue. If you could find out why that tire shimmys, that may also correct the issue.

  • For the front I have to tear out the cv joint and caliper has to come off. And for the back should I get new hardware since the drum is already off? Thanks so much

  • @thomasplusamber It probably wouldn't hurt if you're already in there and have things torn down.

  • I have a 1999 ford windstar, its FWD and the rear bearing is out, i have done the drums before, and in this video it didnt look like you needed to take the shoes off. i was curios if it was any different than the front bearings, i saw how to do those, but since its not differential i know i can spin the bearing at my will. thanks for any tips

  • @thomasplusamber To change the rear bearing in your Windstar you would more than likely need to remove the rear brake shoes to access the bearings. Hope this helps you out.

  • @n3rdbear It all depends on the environment that they're in. If you live somewhere with quite a bit of snow and salt on the road, they're more likely to wear faster.

  • Anyone know the lifespan of rear hub ABS sensors? My 98 grand am has 170,000 miles already. Since the sensor is enclosed and has no physical contact to anything whatsoever, maybe the lifespan is 250,000 miles?

  • great vid

  • did you have to take the ebrake off or disconnect before you pulled the hub out.
