The noise kind of sounds like this, but only when I’m braking after driving for an hour or so

I tested it and it doesn’t move in either drive or reverse with a helper watching from the outside. The control arm bushings don’t have any cracks or tears either

I have a 2000 Camry V6 that I’ve owned since November of 2023. I’ve replaced nearly all maintenance items but just cannot seem to figure out a noise I experience. After about an hour or so of driving, when coming to a slow stop I’ll hear and feel a rubbing noise coming from the left front. I can...

Hey OP, did you ever solve the humming issue?

You’re right 🙂

I appreciate the response. I’m looking at the Continental as the best choose as well.

The Gates part on my car seems that it was cut too short right there it connectors to the metal coolant neck right after the oil filter adapter. Do you have a recommendation on hose clamp types and brands? I’ve always used Norma but the factory came with constant tension type clamps.

Help me choose the best out of the worst brands I have a 2001 Mustang GT that needs a new lower rad hose.. Motorcraft/Ford discontinued the part a long time ago, and these brands are what is available today. I never liked Gates, and I’m iffy with the Dayco. I’ve never tried Continental...

Update: SKF got back to me after I sent them pics of all 4 wheel bearings and the 2 bearing seals. They all checked out (which is a relief). Thanks everyone as always for your input!

Yep. I’m not a fan of that. I just sent SKF additional photos of my bearings as per their email. They said that my seals are genuine, but need more pics of the bearings to verify.

While I wait for a response from SKF, I’m searching different forums in regards to SKF counterfeits. A few posts suggest that counterfeiters are making replica SKF boxes and stuffing no-name parts into them. All of my bearings have SKF and part #’s laser etched into them, but we know just how...

I’ll ask because I assume you may know; do they (Bumper to Bumper) carry a good reputation?

I literally had either RockAuto or Amazon to choose from for this specific brand of parts. Truly sucks..

Absolutely
