Hey Guys,
The other day I dropped my drivers side wheel into a large hole with it at full crank turning into a parking spot. I wasn't going very fast at all. Ever since then, I have noticed a loud noise sounding almost like tires on very narrow rumble strips or mud tires on asphalt.
I've crawled underneath and the CV axles seem fine with no grease or anything in the vicinity. I checked the wheel for play, and there was no up and down or side to side play in the wheel when it was off the ground.
Any ideas on what to check now?

I've also noticed that it is louder as I go faster and then obviously gets softer as I slow down.
Somebody please help!

sounds like the hub assembly,they are crap on blazers,make sure when you buy one you dont cheap out and buy the good one or you will be changing again in six months

I forgot to post up, I ahd this fixed about 3 weeks ago. My mom works for a dealership and we know some of the techs pretty well and when I took it, they pulled the wheel and like CNYCountryKIDD said, it was a complete bearing failure
