hello evryone a wierd noise yesterday on the drivers side while i am driving like a humming noise andmaybe like grinding from the tire but it only does it when i am on the pavement not on the snow ,and could that have beeen from me pulling out the abs fuse cuz the abs brakes are pulsating?i changed all the brakes and rotors and it is still pulsating maybe a bad hub?or is it maybe the tire?i have no idea thank you for your time.

Why did you pull the ABS fuse? I'd suggest you get this truck looked at by a reputable Brake Garage.

i pulled it becuase its vibratting when i almost come to a complete stop it doesnt have anything to do with the noise thats its making know i hope ,i took it to a brake shop they installed new rotors,brakes and they said that the light kept coming on and its still shimmering when it comes to a complete stop i asked if the abs sensors where dirty they said no,they didnt have the codes to read or something.

[Rick Norwood]

If all of this started after your Brake Garage worked on your brakes, you need to go back there screaming.

How did this all start? Who did the work?

[bowhunter1432]

well 3 weeks ago i had the brakes done,rotors,brake pads ect,3 weeks later i hear this weird humming noise on the drivers side not to load it just doesnt feel right,i jacked up the blazer no play up and down and no play verticle i am wondering if it is the itre making that noise?

Check your front differential oil level.

[Rick Norwood]

Do like BlazerLT says. If that doesn't fix it, try to describe the sound and exactly when you hear it. (High speeds, low speeds, all the time, only when turning, only when braking, does the noise get louder as speed increases. etc)

i am going to check my front end diff oil tommorow morning any ideas on what i should use if i do need any? and it does need to be filled above the filler screw correct?

[BlazerLT]

Just to the level of the filler screw on the top.

See if you can get a hand pump to get rid of the old stuff and replace it with fresh gear oil.

i am going to bring it in this weekend just made an appontment he says its the hubs ,blljoints ,ect,ect isnt that all one unit ?how much yall think it is going to be around?

[amac209]

it's the wheel bearing/hub assembly thats making that noise. not your balljoints. if the drivers side is making a humming/grinding noise it should lessen or go away under hard left turns because this unloads that wheel bearing a little bit. another thing that causes problems on blazers is the flex joint on the front driveshaft, the rubber boot cracks and fills with dirt. but that shouldn't make noise unless you're in 4wd or if you have the A4wd option.
oh yeah a hub/bearing runs around $200 and an hour labor. balljoints are about $300 and 3.8hours labor for 4.
