2002 Buick Park Avenue Wheel Bearing Part 1

Here's the first "big" breakdown our mother's car has experienced. Follow along as uxwbill, bizzarefurhead (his spelling) and the keykeeper all work to diagnose and repair it. As it turns out, both front wheel bearings were bad.

Stay tuned for part 2!

So what is with the British accent?

[uxwbill]

@userunavailable3095 Who has one of those in this video?

[Fuzy2K]

@uxwbill I can only guess that (s)he was talking about the Keykeeper.

I seem to remember seeing a comment on another video of yours once asking if you and the Keykeeper were Australian... :P

[uxwbill]

@Fuzy2K You're right...there was such a comment made somewhere along the line. I know the Keykeeper has something of an unusual dialect, although I'm so used to it that I hardly notice. The original poster did respond and stated that they were speaking of 'furhead.

Hey I got a better fix..if the wheels are whining just...turn up the radio..if it keeps up turn the radio to full volume and there ya go problem solved HaHa

[uxwbill]

@blazerlover25 What do you propose to get the lost fuel economy back? ;-)

(I know. Smarty-pants question!)

[uxwbill]

@pearsonba350 I think I've got a bad one on my S-10...or at least something that is grumbling up in the front end at times! When it rains, it pours...I guess!

[uxwbill]

@cincyboy256 Yes. They have a blue '89 Chevrolet pickup truck with a 305 V8 and a manual transmission. The Keykeeper helped them bleed the clutch on it. They've had a few others before that...a red '93 GMC with a 4.3L V6 and a five speed manual, and another '89 with a 350 V8 and automatic transmission.

@uxwbill Bizzare Furhead sounds like he's trying to do a British accent.

@Madness832 just the clown chiming in but I thought you knew that light bulb is there in case uxwbill has a "bright" idea HaHa

[blazerlover25]

@uxwbill oh that is simple mr bill just shut off the ignition and tie a horse to the front of the car and there is your lost fuel economy but be sure to keep it in neutral or just pull engine and trans out so it will be a roller or heck get a mule they are cheaper than a horse be like a redneck modern day horse and buggy HaHa
