Bought a 1994 Blazer Tahoe Saterday. It has a Sno-Way plow on it that works great. Drove it home 65 miles with no problems. I signed up for this forum right after I got home. So I'm a newbie and green as grass. Went out this AM and pulled it into the garage (30 feet) and it felt like it had a flat tire. I looked around and the front passenger tire was slanted like it was broken off of the hub. Slanted in at the top.

It made no noises. No clunk, grinding or squeel, or anything.
I have never owned a four wheel drive anything and I was stunned.

Would some one please tell me where to start. I'm so upset that I can't even think right now.

 

Start by jacking up the front end and taking the wheel off. Better.. do both so you can compare.

You should be glad it didnt do that while you were driving it home. You're already ahead of the game.

 

Def have some front end workd on your future...maybe tie rod...ball joint...camber bolts on upper control arm.
On the flip side...sign of a good vehicle...she gets ya home safe.

 

Okay....... Now that the panic has subsided, I jacked it up and pulled the tire.
It's the upper ball joint. Got it off and will have one at the parts store in the morning.

And yes, it was good of the old girl to allow me to get home with all my limbs intact.
I guess now we're starting the bonding process.

Thank you gentlemen for getting me back to earth! Too much coffee this morning, I guess.

 

information can stave of panic....its just hard to find sometimes.
glad to hear you have it under control.

 

glad ya found the problem AND i could not agree even more with warthog

thats a sign of a good vehicle...she gets ya home safe.

I see you found the problem already but Im happy the ball joint went at your house and not while driving
