front end noise
hello all...
my girlfriend has a 2000 chevy s-10 blazer... its 4wd, auto ... v-6... the normal. has approx 70,000 miles on it. the problem sometimes when you are driving around in town, or going down the highway, and you hit a bump just right, you get a GOD awful clang/crunch/bang (i can't describe it) from the passenger side front wheel area... i've looked underneath it, checked the bolts to make sure everything's tight... i'm a fairly experienced backyard mechanic and this one has me stumped. the vehicle is in otherwise excellent shape and this is quite discouraging. any help would be greatly apprecieated. thanks in advance. jake

Ever greased your front end? On a 4x4 there is 10-11 grease fitting in the front end to fill with grease.

alright, we went for about a 50 mile drive today ....
somethings definately wrong ... it doesn't seem to be brought on by anything... but when it made the noise for me today ... it lasted nearly 3 seconds, and i thought something was going to fall off... wtf ??? its difficult to pinpoint where its coming from because its so loud.... i heard it once, it came from the front, heard it again, came from the rear ( so it sounded like) ... i'm really baffled here.... i guess i can go over to my dad's and take the grease gun to it. it drives like a dream no matter what sound it makes, and runs perfectly... what it sounds like to me, (The best way to describe it) is the ABS pump kicking in, in my dad's 2000 full size chevy pickup, it has hydraulic brakes, not vaccuum. they're run off the power steering pump. the sound my girlfriend's blazer makes sounds just like that pump kicking in, only like 10x louder, and crunchier... at random

Re: front end noise

Re: front end noise
Better clean your front hub speed sensors.
This could be the ABS kicking in. Also, you might want to check that the front diff is not trying to semi-engage.

Re: front end noise
No problem bud, that is what we are here for.
I would cycle through al of the settings to make sure it is not stuck somewhere in between 4x4 and 2x4. Are you sure the noise is coming from the front?

its so difficult to pinpoint sometimes, because its so loud, sometimes it sounds like its coming from the transfer case, sometimes it sounds like its coming from the front end, and you almost always feel the vibration in the floorboard. well i'm off to work ... i'll check back when i get home
