Default 98 Blazer 4x4

I will try and keep this quick... I had the passenger side front wheel hub replaced a few weeks ago due too a "rubbing" kinda sound. The sound went away but now it is back!!! I put it in 4hi and no sound while driving. I put it back in 2hi and the sound is there... I am not sure what the problem might be? It dosen't make sense too me at this point. I am getting tired of putting money in this thing lol! I hope too hear ideas or suggestions from the great people on here, thanks in advance...

Check proper torque of hub nut... over tighten can cause hub failure, maybe check you CV axle, and CV axle bearing in the transfer case. If it goes away it 4x4, might be CV axle related.

I am about ready too lose it on this truck!!! The noise is now just barely audible instead of it being kinda loud... I would like too take my chain saw and a sledge hammer and see how many pieces I can cut this Blazer into! Or maybe even take it too the river and see if it can swim! I need a drink lol... : )
