Based on the condition and age of the car, and the other lights that Ray was NOT fixing in this video, I'd say the owner is "budget limited" for auto repairs. But they were able to get a potentially car-ending problem fixed, so that is good.

@Paramount531 In high school I had a friend who was gifted his first car, a Peugeot. If they were still around, I would prop one of those up against a Volvo for "the Devil" awards.

I too saw the wear, and the excess wear on the inside of the tire fits a worn-out bearing. An alignment? Maybe. But that car owner has a few other issues they might need to deal with earlier. Like the tire pressures, the rattle (to make sure it's not worn-out suspension bushing or such), the TPMS, and perhaps replacing a pair of worn tires to get out of that one from the bad bearing.

@Paramount531 That PRV sounds like it's one f the components to summon The Deep Ones!

I only learned that those were slide pins when watching one of Ray's videos about a year and a half ago. Which explains why some of my older cars back in the day always seemed to have uneven pad wear...

That is a good question. I suppose that hearing it to localize a wheel is the first step, then lifting the car to manipulate the wheel is the next diag step to nail it to either wheel bearing or CV. Though perhaps, the pull when breaking is another bearing indicator? - I am not making absolute statements here, as my job history has been in the hardware side of electronics, not auto repair.
