DOk I been having this problem. Recently I noticed that once I'm turning right there is a lot if vibration coming from the front end of my blazer and it seems like one wheel wants to go left the other right. I have new tires disks brake pads power steering its good brake fluid and mechanism is working as it should. The ABS lights been on for a while haven't been able to make it go away. Anyways I took it to different shops and they all contradic themselves one shop said the cv joints where bad the other said they are fine that the bearings are going out and another says its neither they are still good that is a problem with the abs brake system locking itself. Idk what to do and mbudget hasn't been that great. What do you think could be the problem. Also when I turn slowly the is a grinding noise coming from drivers side wheel. Its my daily driver and want to fix it asap. Any knowledge will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

I have to say it sounds a little like the bearing, when turning right the left wheel makes a larger rotation, so it would put strain on that bearing and if its bad it wont rotate as easily, seeming like its pulling to that side. Also you mentioned grinding noise on left side. I really can't be sure, but that would be a possiblity. Addionally I have 2001 S10 pick-up, and I have had ABS light on too, but I have noticed it really onle effects driving when I slam on the brakes, its a little quicker to go into ABS then it is on my other cars. So I also am GUESSING that it is just a coincidence that light is on and you are having grinding problems. I would wait for someone with more experience to chime in before you take that to heart, I'd be intrested in knowing what comes of this issues if you ever get it resolved.

 

Hey coddrick, thanks for the reply. I was also thinking that the bearing was bad so I ordered 2 of them to replace both at the same time, hopefully it'll be here by Monday. It has to be that or the axles I've almost done replacing the whole front end put in new ball joints, sway bar links and all that. As I mentioned I don't think the brakes are bad because they work perfectly its my daily driver so I should know better. So once I put the new bearings on I ll see if the grinding continues. Also the darn check gauges light been coming on and off for a while only when I'm in complete stop. It seems its a problem after another. Does that ever happen to you?

 

As for the check gauges light , look at your volts gauge and oil pressure to see what one is low , and then go from there . If its the volts gauge check all your ground connections and make sure there tight . And if its the oil pressure check your oil and make sure its full , if it is maybe try a heavier weight oil .

 

To check the hubs, you need to jack up the front and grab the wheel. Excessive play going east to west is a bad hub, north and south is a bad ball joint.

 

Actually holding at the 3 and 9 o'clock position you would be checking the tie rods. Holding at 6 and 12 is more for ball joint's and wheel bearings. If there's movement have someone hold the breaks down enough to keep the wheel's from spinning and if there's still movement then it's the ball joint's. To the OP, yea it sounds like your wheel bearing.
