Customer states – vibration at 70MPH! Problem identified and it’s very understandable.
Customer states – rear end makes noise when warmed up! Problem identified and OMG wait until you see this rear end discovery.
Some of the worst condition parts and lack of maintenance you will ever see on a vintage bus.

What does it take to get those bearings to fail completely? Is it even possible?
Why
Something is Leaking.
When BGM says shocking…….you know its going to be wild.
Thats not good
That's not Reusable.
R-U going to be able to find parts for the Old Bus.
That gear oil is Terrible.
It's so rusted out bad.
Thats why its in the shop.
Love the double impact technique …stolen! ;)
Whoever owns that bus is either too cheap to maintain it correctly or doesn't have the resources to maintain it correctly and shouldn't even own anything like that. Amazing how stupid people are when it comes to dangerous neglect.
Yet again Scott saving lives out there.

probably Chinese parts
I would bet it was in a flood at some point.
Disaster waiting to happen …..
"Is this a good bus?", says the buyer. "Hell yes. You can drive her 'till the wheels fall off!".
Could you possibly say how expensive to fix things in this video? Maybe others. I am thinking about getting a used RV.
If those where ball bearings they would have been vaporized.
With every clunk of the wheel the price tag goes up
Johnathan shop chair or yours is going to break soon it creaks on your videos 😊
The fact these bearings, etc held together is a testament to how over-engineered these vehicles are…thank God!!!
repack those bearing good as new lol good work!!
You paid extra for the holes in the bearings.LOL😂
I just tow a little 17’ Casita travel trailer behind a Chevy Colorado and always assume that these million dollar coaches have the very best in maintenance and upkeep. I’ll keep my distance from them in the future…
I don't like that spindle nut spanner tool you're using at the 7 minute mark. It was making me mad
Eh, those bearings will polish out and gear oil is highly over rated ;) Thanks Scott for all you do trying to keep us safe on the road!
I dont spend a hundred grand a year on my bus but I do take it in yearly for a good check out. This year I had to replace the slack adjusters. Prevost sent different ones so we also had to replace the brake cans. Found a worn out bag on the tag axle and replaced that too. Other minor items that could have gotten worse. A bit of money gives a lot of peace of mind.
That bearings had the biscuit 😊😊😊
Repack those bearings they will be fine
Starts out with the Three Stooges; kingpins, bearings and wheel studs and gets worse from there.
Just, WOW 😢
