[__ Prayer __] People do not realize how bad things can get, a warning

[MayGodHeal]

I did some math here. I know it might be strange but when I kept hitting potholes with this one wheel once i noticed it was making noise (even before it did, my ABS/Wheel/Traction sensor lights were on indicated there's a problem). Well despite hearing wheel use I kept driving on it. But once I did I took a photo of my mileage. I had to figure out how many miles i put on that wheel. Well kept driving on it then Thursday it got really loud so Monday I had to drive a different vehicle because it sounded like something was dragging (hub assembly or wheel shifted dragging against the brake rotor). Well took it in today and they got a new hub assembly put in, thank God. It was so bad though that the technician couldn't tell if there was a problem with the right side too, well the left side was resonating onto the other side, potentially causing the lights to show up on that particular side (harmonics in wheel bearings can do this, though unclear if that was the actual problem) either way the left side kept getting hit by potholes (once when I had older tires on it), which also concerns me how that tire is holding up, though may be different times (I did have one blow out last late summer)

Anyway. Did the math of the mileage it came into the shop and when I took the photo. 606. I drive 60 miles a day which would come to 666. Yeah the sign of the Devil.

The premise is we could be in for some very bad times. Most of the world may be unaware and there is no reason why. Now I could have brushed off if either rear wheels went bad because they're still original but no, it's one sole wheel that kept hitting potholes.

The car is doing fine and I hope to not have any more issues.

I do believe God is trying to tell us that evil is making a move and we don't have much time to stop it. But like my wheel bearings, I fixed it before it became a major problem. And I believe it was close to failure as the technician was able to feel play in the wheel. Put 3,000lbs on it with winds pushing it one way or another would have probably torn that thing loose.

We're in need of dire prayers. Society does. Not everyone is inherently evil, but there is enough evil to go around to know it's a serious problem in today's society and despite it always occurring I feel the significance of "having to replace the same hub assembly 3 times" that we're at war with Satan. We're not talking every day evil, this right here I believe is a big moment.

Big moment the Great Flood, Jesus being crucified, fall of Rome, ect..

I think we need to pray for one another, pray for what's to come and above all listen to what God wants us to do. I believe something bad is happening and whether it's the end times or not, I'm not sure of. But I do know something is very wrong here and many people won't be prepared. I was already prepared to replace the hub assembly on my car. I was trying to get all I could out of it before it got bad. Some people will choose to ignore that, potentially destroying their drivetrain or lose control and cause an accident. But even I am not prepared for what's to come, all I can do is pray on it.

God spoke to me through this thing with the wheel bearings, so remain alert.

I submit that cheap made parts maybe a reason .

 

[MayGodHeal]

jasonc cheap wheel bearings would have completely been destroyed by the pothole then. The wheel bouncing off the pothole at 50+mph basically will contort stuff in an unnatural way of course the weak point is the hub assembly because its separate from one another riding on bearings.

On a plane | - | (wheel | hub/bearings - hub to vehicle bracket |) your wheels and hub assembly is straight but hitting a pothole can cause your hub to twist unnaturally like / ~ | at least that's the best way I can explain it because you're hitting something vehicles cant normally absorb even with tires or shocks. In fact the tires are just sending that shock straight to your hub assembly when you're hitting a pothole at 50mph. I'm actually glad that's all these potholes are damaging because you can get blowouts and destroy other steering/suspension components by hitting one and it might depend on how fast you hit one too. One at 40mph or less wouldn't do much. Going 55, you'll be damaging something, considering how fast I see other people go they may completely destroy stuff on an impact with a pothole. The size and shape of potholes also matter.

Plus I'm only hitting the one wheel with it, with additional weight being on that wheel. If the wheel bearings were cheap they would have been destroyed on impact. Lack of grease may cause premature wear though I believe the hub got loose from the impacts allowing water to get into it. None of the wheels really get exposed to being hit by potholes, the ones in the rear don't have as much weight so will last longer even if they were to be run over by potholes.

I will say that the first replacement hub was cheap as it was making a huge clicking noise after hitting the pothole and that was replaced around 30,000 miles (or less), 2nd one got almost 60,000 and that one was abused by repeated pothole hits.

Look I was ase certified .we would in Afghanistan install ball joints and in two hours because the road those would snap In half.yet never heard of any wheel bearing going and I'm talking you couldn't drive over 10 miles per hour as the gunner would be bounced out of the turret .brake lines would snap.
Not once was any bearing going out .that was on the jbad to abad road .and I live on a dirt road where once it rains two feet holes show up and I have replaced ball joints but not bearings from that and that was only because of mileage.
My yota has no issues from it.seriously ball joints bear the load of the weight .a wheel hub doesn't .it gets thrust load from the axle .they account for a downward load by bearing race thickness and again that is a load not meant to hold weight .

Your ball joints and tie rods will be affected by vibrations .I also work part time at a parts store .I tell customers my opinion on cheap parts if I see a problem .try installing new shocks and they are so cheap that you can easily compress them like the ones you took off.

I thought I got a good set of Monroe's and I noticed I was wrong .they do make cheap parts .

jasonc your one experience doesn't match what many other motorists have to deal with when hitting a pothole is that damaging their wheel bearings. Yeah other components will be damaged but that includes your wheel bearings. I knew someone who had their hub assembly got bent on a pothole on a new vehicle. Just because you never seen it happen doesnt mean hub assemblies are safe from these impacts. There's plenty of articles out there that talk about how wheel bearings can wear out quicker with potholes and rough roads. And I'm only hitting the one side. If even the rear wheel even hits the pothole as well because your car will slightly push steering one way or another. The other side never got hit by a pothole, ever. Before driving on the highway regularly I never hit a pothole, or if i did it was at low speeds it wouldn't harm anything.

I've had 1 blow out and 2 of the (same) hub assembly replacements due to hitting potholes on that side. The only time I ever hit potholes at highway speeds. Again the first one didn't hold up very well after getting hit and i hit the second one multiple times before it went bad. Both were on the front left side where you got extra weight on. Can't really see them at night or over hilly areas. I try to avoid them as they can cause damage and there usually is worse damage but the only thing that it damages are the wheel bearings. Maybe it's how the car is designed, I don't know but I'm not the only one who has this problem and if hub assemblies were made cheap you'd have lawsuits because those are critical components you cant cheap out on, because you'll lose your wheel and cause an accident even when hitting potholes. Even if it does hold up, you won't get the full mile use out of them because hitting potholes CAN damage hub assemblies. And a cheaply made hub assembly will cause your wheel to fly off when hitting one.

Also being a certified mechanic for the military is different from being a certified mechanic for civilian vehicles.

Not really.

I quoted my civiliam experience.
I
Seriously driving over boulders in hmmv where the mighty cj5 wouldn't last doing it
Try putting in master cylinder and the brake lines to that break that is how tough that road was
You are talking about a 5 ton vehicle in weight without load .it snapped those bal joints within hours of installation.

I fixed those on missions but I was not a military ordinance guy .63 series.a frame suspension is old school .

jasonc I would like to see those wheel bearings hold up for the rated mile service life which is at least 75,000 miles and generally hold up for 100,000 miles. Very doubtful they held up for that long. I got 150,000 miles on the right front side, the other held until about 100,000 (which is actually the left front wheel that is always hitting the potholes) and the rears are over 180,000 though are making a slight noise but doing ok and it's due to the reduced load. I know the right side (and potentially the left rear) never had any serious impacts.

Now I'll argue that some vehicles doesn't like potholes more than others do and that may factor into wheel bearing life. Now cheap parts I only had replacement brake calipers you can't open the bleeder valves which is a design flaw with the replacements. 60,000 miles on wheel bearings while it isn't terrible like the 30,000 miles I gotten out of the other one which hit one pothole and it was done for while the 60,000 mile one did get quite a beating. Road work didn't help either as they just drop the road like 1/3 down instead of inclining it.

I don't recall if I did hit a pothole with the original left front wheel but I originally assumed it was due to old age. Driving 60 miles a day on constant rough roads certainly hasn't done any good for a passenger vehicle. I already have replaced the whole front end steering/suspension components and the other thing to note is I did have to replace the ball joint on the left side long before the right side. That one held up longer than the hub assembly on that side.

Not all potholes will cause the same damage and not all components will hold up after being hit by a pothole. Maybe the hub assembly on this vehicle is a weak point? I don't know but a 60,000 mile use out of a hub with getting hit by multiple potholes doesn't show cheap parts to me, just damage due to poor roads. Much better than the 30,000 mile one. If it never got hit by potholes I'd question the low service life.

Military ones use a hub that is a gear box that is hard to rebuild .they are lubricated in gl 5.

It's actually quite heavy .I say the spindle is a two man lift .

 

[jasonc]

But again you got 150k on a hub .that's kinda against your premise .

My yota has oem on it and I check them for noise and play you can spin them for noise check as you will feel the roughness

 

[MayGodHeal]

jasonc are you also going 60mph in them? Because that's what I'm subjecting this car to for 60 miles a day on rough roads.

Not really because that side never hit a pothole.

 

[jasonc]

The army ones as we have traverses them like that on military bases usually near ranges don't get bithered by it .it's meant to take it .

If America general who also helped as general dynamics irc to build the m1 chassis that can jump at that speed and take it ,surely they can design a simple hub.

 

[jasonc]

There that's is what they look like

 

[MayGodHeal]

jasonc all mine is this little thing and it's a one piece. Sedans in general are not built for off roading, they're built for flat roads. Maybe the modern ones are? but this one isn't. If anything politicians left the roads this bad so you would have to keep replacing parts and get frustrated so you buy a new vehicle. Again another sign (and the whole point of this post is..) that we're being controlled by evil.

You asked .those never snapped or went bad that's huge.

Hubs and part failures due to either poor design or lack of road maintenance is evil ?

I submit that the road thing is common and we'll .

Corduroy road - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Note it says the horse could get trapped.and oh it's mentioning two by Vancouver and Seattle.i have been on one of them in the 90s.

Irc they removed them .fun ride late at night to cross the Snohomish river with that one lane swing bridge .

I just don't get the idea of how a tiny skeleton crew can maintain highway roads with perpetual traffic .

Imagine building a 10 lane hwy and in a few years that needs resurfacing .I have seen a road go that route here .I drive it daily it's already showing wear and that's normal .

That's a state road .imagine a interstate and turn pike and constant traffic .Virginia has that problem with 95. Florida with I 10. The later reminds me of how 95 looked like as I'm old enough to remember when to go south 95 couldn't be used north of Jupiter let alone pga Blvd.

10 was completed before 95 and has less traffic and it shows

 

[jasonc]

State roads .right of ways ,history .I notice odd things such as fpl pulling a feed down and know where that went .

That said my county and others simply can't keep up with the traffic and population increase.

Imagine widening a road and then it's already not enough.that happened locally .now add roads that are not yet resurfaced and can't hold up ,do they widen it or resurface it on these main roads?

I believe that is the case often .doesn't mean that the state is good at fixing roads or not problematic just that growth can overwhelm infrastructure

Well a Hummer is built for off road use, it's designed to handle road abuse. Sedans are primarily designed to run off of smooth roads. So sedan hubs wouldn't hold up like Hummers would on bad road conditions. Horses on bad terrain never worked out well and when horses were primarily used paved roads was a luxury back then if they just were not just dirt roads. Actually dirt roads was a luxury back then too.

Roads in Lake County, Illinois were often repaved yearly (not the same ones obviously) as needed, when they start cracking is when they generally got replaced because the snow plows would hit high spots creating a pothole. It wouldn't be hard to replace highway roads in the same manner do a section and if done right will last for years depending on the climate. Just that the politicians let them go for whatever reason and part of the issue is the gas taxes go to general fund and not primarily the roads as they should be.

You look at this extreme push towards electric vehicles too, the politicians/left wants you to walk or take the bus if you can't afford or don't want one, they don't care they're going to force you out of your gas vehicles despite claiming they won't do that. If that isn't evil well then I don't know what is anymore. The roads are neglected, while we still pay taxes that should be fixing them, not electric vehicles.

You say the roads have always been this bad? Well.. why? If all it takes is to get a construction crew out there, provides them a job to do then what's the hold up? They always excuse not having enough money when everything is going up when they won't address the inflation problem (why is it only keep going up? Never down).

Cheap wheel bearings, cheap roads you're still paying for it in the end.

Population.

I'm 50.when I joined the army my county broke 50 grand .when I turned 50 it broke 180 grand .

A1a built in 1951 over earlier right of ways hasn't been wudened .us1 barely widened .three roads actually were made to cross the main relief canal and one now being widened to four lane.

Btw I tend to think as it was before with private roads before cars night but be bad but again those would be toll roads

Examples of roads not built by the state

Conners hwy us 98 ,parts of what is us 90. Us1 ,the Dixie hwy in parts.many where toll roads .

You have snow ,and salt and plows .I bet that destroys asphalt.

Im gonna say that is spending problem on roads is not a nation wide problem but more of a local or state problem .

Florida isn't perfect but most of that is from growth .not soo much the politics though I can point it out on resurfacing here.

But I will say .

Rt 60 was not designed for traffic but quick expedition for an attack by the Russians or other emergency.i also submit all interstates where built in my mind by ike for movement of troops as he liked the auto bonn and also emergency run ways.

Therefore roads per SE are not for the public .

I figure that was common knowledge .
