Front end noise

My '98 blazer has developed a "growling" sound in the front end. I hear it while driving straight and turning to the left. It disappears completely with the slightest turn to the right. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Front end noise

Check your wheel bearings. And make sure your calipers arent froze on the pins.

Re: Front end noise

Your right bearing is gone. When you turn left you load the right bearing.

Only thing to do is replace the whole bearing hub.
