F...Toyota

cpayne, are you an auto mechanic or a toyota rep? I am just wondering, you seem very knowledgeable, but a little biased towards Toyota.

A little?

:laughing-

Yes, absolutely a bad wheel bearing can cause the wheel to have play in it, or "loose" as some say. Noise is the most obvious sign, but so is play at the wheel.

Also, I find it funny that you own a Jetta.

Owned it 12 years ago, in college. :cheeky-sm


Driven American cars since. I find it amusing that you drive Jap crap.

I own 3 japanese cars (truly manufactured in Japan) and two american cars. I enjoy all cars. I have certain preferences, but I don't hate on others who may not share the same tastes. At the end of the day I'd rather feel good about what I like than angry about what you like. You should try it sometime.

Nah, you just troll the Ford threads. :food-smil

Nope, I'm a software engineer. :)

I just love cars and I love working on them in my free time.

I have ever only owned one Toyota. Buster's Toyota hatred is notorious (do a search for 'Toyota' on this site and no doubt you'll find a myriad of posts where Buster is trying his best to bash them). I feel that I need to set the record straight whenever he throws out his "facts". Not because I'm a diehard Toyota kool-aid drinker, but because I think it's the right thing to do.

Edit at 7:30pm
*I take back the bolded above. We owned another. My wife bought a brand new Scion tC (a Toyota brand) when they first came out. She drove it for 6 months, decided it wasn't for her, and we traded it for a new Jeep.*

Show me a post in a Ford thread here where I "trolled".

Like I said, I like all cars. I was up your way on June 5th. Go check out what was going on at the Carlisle Fairgrounds that day. ;)

Isn't that Corvette week?

Isn't that Corvette week?

No, it was Ford Nationals. :)

UPDATE

So they did the wheel bearing still making the noise! They are saying it is the brakes now, whatever just don't charge me.

I still say axle bearing or diff.

Didn't you say you just did the brakes? I replaced my rear pads about a month ago and at 77k, they still had a lot of life left. I hated to swap them, but I wanted to get my new pads on and get everything cleaned up back there.
