If you have a howling noise coming from the back of your jeep but you can’t pinpoint it to the rear diff, any of the axle bearings, or the t case, try this simple test (YouTube link below). Often just spinning your rear tires and trying to pry them right/left won’t show you anything even if your bearing has failed. The geometry of a solid axle plus drum brakes makes it tough to use the standard tests on your rear axle/wheel bearings. This doesn’t apply to front wheels - REAR ONLY. https://youtu.be/LboQLLLrgwE

That's one of the most un-informative You Tube videos I've ever seen!

A whole 7-minute video to say (not even show) that leaking gear oil and play in the bearing means it's bad?

Based upon the reviews, I'll add 7 minutes to my life by not watching it.

wow!! I just found out that he flooded other automotive forums with the videos.
Are we now a place for auditions of (maybe not so) upcoming YT channels?
Seems like all the reviews would come from Simon Cowell!!!!!
