Hey guys the front end of my 4wd blazer keeps making like a vibrating noise which I can hear and feel with my foot when I I turn the steering wheel slightly to the right. I have to be doing 30 or above or else I cant really hear it, it's like a tire rubbing or something except it's not this because I jacked it up and checked each tire and there were no marks anywhere. Both front tires have very little play when pushed into the vehicle at the sides of the tire and only one tire (the passenger) has play when pushed against the vehicle at the top and bottom of the tire. I replaced the right hub bearing(I think,dont remember which side) about 10,000 miles ago. Any ideas to what this could be or what to try next? Thanks!!!

 

check your left cv axle shaft joint for play is my idea or your left front wheelbearing.

When you are turning right and the vibration is getting louder it's mostly a problem on the left side...

I have the same isseu on my 1997 Blazer but at my car it vibrates and I feel it in my feet same as yours....I have checked it last weekend on a car bridge and my CV shaft joint is terminal sick.....

The most irritating is that you have to replace the whole shaft is what I heard...and they are expensive.....(in europe 250us dollars!! the criminals...)

 

Sorry guys, I just haven't had the time to check the forum. To check if the cv joint is bad I should run the car on jacks and first see where noise is coming from then check for play?How can I tell if it is bad or not?

So assuming I have to replace the cv halfshaft are there any tutorials someone can point me to? Thanks.
