REVIEW QUESTION:
1.Roadtesting is the most important steps in determining whether or not to purchase a vehicle. You
can tell a lot about a vehicle during a test drive, especially if the drive consists of varying speeds and
road conditions, left and right turns, acceleration and deceleration, multiple braking situations, a
predetermined list of checkpoints, and an experienced and alert driver.

2.Locating manual-transaxle and drive-train noise is to turn on the engine. It is impossible that the
whining noise is present in all gears it is most likely not caused by transmission gears noise. To
isolate engine noise from drive-train noise put the transmission in neutral and allow the engine to
idle while the car is going down the road and see if the noise changes. If it does not change, it may
be some part of the drive train such as the driveshaft and final drive.

3. Because bearings are incorporated in each wheel and also in differential, most of the times it’s
very tricky to discover if the the noise that is produced is a rear differential noise or a wheel bearing
noise. As a bearing begins to wear, friction increases and metal material is worn down making often
bad noises until it finally fails. Failing bearings can make whistle noise or a roaring grinding type of
noise. Often the noise get louder as the cars speed or load increases. As often the noise resonates
through the chassis, pinpointing the source of it is very difficult. Wheel-bearing noise simplest check
to identify a failing wheel bearing is to suspend the car so that the wheel does not touch the ground.
Then grab the wheel and wiggle it back & forth. The hub containing the bearing should not allow the
wheel to wiggle back and forth. Differential noise if a bearing is failing inside the differential the
noise is virtually the same as the one created by a failing wheel bearing making it hard to isolate.
Only difference between a wheel bearing noise and a rear differential noise would be the fact that
the wheel bearing noise will change with wheel speed but usually will not change with load
variations (accelerations/decelerations) while the noise from a rear differential will change with
wheel speed and load.

4.Thorough cleaning and inspecting of your transmission’s internal and external components
technicians know which parts always need to be replaced and they’ll be replaced with new,
reconditioned, or rebuilt components. This includes numerous gaskets and seals, bushings, bearings,
and soft parts. All hard parts (such as the gears), including your clutch, pressure plate and flywheel,
will be inspected for excessive wear or damage and also be replaced as necessary. In many, if not
most cases, your vehicle manufacturers updates will recommend that additional transmission
components need to be replaced, and those components will be replaced with reconditioned or new
components.

5. The bearing is generally usable up to the end of the rolling fatigue life if handled properly. If it fails
earlier, it may be due to some fault in the selection, handling, lubrication, and/or mounting of the
bearing. It is sometimes difficult to determine the real cause of bearing failure because many
interrelated factors are possible. It is, however, possible to prevent the recurrence of similar
problems by considering possible causes according to the situation and condition of the machine on
which the bearings failed.
