Default The odd noise???

I cannot pinpoint this problem at all. My 2004 blazer has began to have a very weird feel when im braking. it almost feels like a slight grinding but there is no grinding noise etc.. Also when driving up at speed there is an odd vibration feeling on the passenger side. And i cannot figure this out.

At one point it was making this weird vibration noise feel when i was turning right??



Any ideas




Thanks gueys.

Sounds as though it could be the beginning of a wheel bearing failure, but your "odd vibration feeling" on the right (passenger) side does not agree with your "weird vibration noise feel" while turning right which may indicate a driver side wheel bearing problem.

Both bearings dying, passenger side closer to failure?!

Its almost like a thumping feeling in the passenger side but these tires have some very weird patches in them as well i bought the truck like that maybe new tires wouldnt hurt.

If the tires are worn weird, it can cause issues like this. Maybe try rotating the tires front to back and see if the problem follows the tires.

sounds like tire wear. That's how I know when I need to rotate my AT2s (the front wears in a forward slopped pattern...a/t tires )...I get a 'grind' and loud noise as I slow down...after rotating the tires, problem solved.

Does your truck have torsion bar suspension out front?....if so does it make a clunking noise while you feel that on the passenger side?
