Great forum. Always can find interesting situations to read when I have an issue. Maybe someone can answer a question for me.

How likely is it to have both front bearings go bad at or about the same time on my 95 S10 4x4 blazer?

I had a shop I have used before checked out a noise my truck was making while driving it. I dropped the truck off. They changed (according to the reciept) the left front bearing. Fine. Upon calling to check about picking up my blazer I was informed that the bearing on the right front was ALSO bad! I needed my truck for the week end and figured to bring it back on Monday when they reopen. So I paid and took the truck home. Afrter a bit of driving the noise became a lot like how it sounded before I brought it in.
Any suggestions or thoughts?

Help!!!

Yep. Common problem with these trucks. Don't know what the issue is. But they can last you 10 years or just 1. And both can crap out at once.

 

Thanx for the get back. I have done buss with the shop in the past and have been satisfied with their work. I was thinking that something didn't sound right. I was told because I was a good customer I would get a discount. I think I will take advantage of the offer instead of stopping payment on the check!
