Sounds like I have a flat tire
Hi,
I have a 2000 4x4 s-10 blazer and need some help. While driving it makes a noise like you are driving on a flat tire (am not, have new tires). I jacked it up and there is a lot of play in the passenger side front wheel. The passenger can feel something moving while the vehicle is in motion. I had it in the shop, they replaced the idler arm~did not fix it. They then said it was ball joints and the replaced them~did not fix it.
Any idea what else it could be? I would like to check it out myself before this bill gets an higher~I just dropped $500 on it a couple weeks ago for unrelated problems.
Thanks!

Sure sounds like a wheel bearing failure. I'm surprised that they mis-diagnosed it twice. If I were you, I would never go back to that place.

id take the wheel off and inspect the hub
