LMFAO, gotta love "mechanic friends"..............

Quick funny story: My buddies g/f's car was making a horrible high pitched noise while driving, he checked everything and I told him "dude, it's more than likely a wheel bearing, it sounds like a wheel bearing to me". Of course he's a "BMW TECH" so he brought it to the shop and "tested" it for wheel bearing, says no way it could be one. He says he diagnosed the noise to the trans housing. So we take a weekend and swap out the trans, only to STILL have the sound.................. The next week he calls me and says "I changed the wheel bearings, the noise is gone now........."

So yea, "mechanic friends" don't always know what they're talking about.
