It sounds as if your rear roller may have a bad bearing. The bearings themselves are not replacable. The entire roller must be replaced. You can find the parts lited on iconservice.com and enter EPTL09706 in the model number box under the "replacement parts" section of the site. This replacement can be done easily using normal home hand tools.

First remove power to the machine.

Second put the machine into space saver mode. (latched in the up position)

Third go to the rear of the machine and locate the 2 wheels on the rear. There is an allen screw with a nut holding the wheels in place.

Fourth there are 2 screws holding the wheel bracket onto the end caps of the machine.

Fifth there are another 2 srews holding the endcaps onto the frame assembly.

lastly you will be able to locate the two bolts holding the rear roller in place. First mark the bolts where they connect to the actual roller with something so you can see how far to tighten the bolts back onto the new roller. remove the old roller...install the bolts onto the new roller then tighten back down to the marks you made on the bolts.
reverse the process for removing the other brackets.

If after replacing the roller your belt is not straight you may adjust it by this procedure.
If the belt is tracking to the right Then access the right allen screw located on the rear of the machine that connects to the rear roller.
Rotate this bolt CLOCKWISE 1 full revolution. This should move the belt to the left.
Do the same procedure except on the left if the belt is tracking to the left.
Good Luck! Tim

My treadmill belt will not run. it suddenly stopped working when I stood on it. there seems to be power to everything else

LUBE the deck belt with grease or WD-40 o any silicone lube.
try to loose the belt deck in the way that when you lift with you finger will be 2" max. See the drive belt , must have a deflection with your finger 1/4" aprox. Of course time to maintenance motor: lube the bearing or replace, and the carbon brush. Lube the deck bel 1time every week.
However you must test the voltage to the terminal to the motor from 0-180 Vdc, if NOT replace the Motor control Board

When driving vehicle it sounds like wheels are truck tires but when you turn wheel slightly other direction noise goes away

Check the tread depth using a penny. The tread should be higher that the top of Lincoln's head when pressed against the tire.

Also check for uneven tread wear on the tire.

A 4 tire replacment and alignment may be in order.

Also check if it is a wheel bearing. Jack up the car and pull in the tire in and up and down direction. If it is loose with a clanking sound then the bearing needs to be replaced.

If you haven't adjusted the belt refer to your owners manual for the proper procedure if you still have the same results then it could be caused by a lack of lubrication under belt or a worn belt.

1993 Toyota Paseo left rear wheel area souns like a gerbil running on a rusty tread mill? Could this be the wheel bearins and or bushings?

Remove the rear wheel & spin the brake drum. Listen for noise. Next, remove the wheel bearing cover/cap, and remove the drum & wheel bearing. Spin the hub, listen for noise. You either have rust buildup on the interior of the brake drum or bad wheel bearings.
