Default Noise from front wheel S-10 4x4 - 02-13-2006 , 02:02 PM






Yesterday there was snow on the ground. I went out in the S-10 4x4 (1995
Blazer if it makes a difference) using 4-HI (electronic switch on the dash).
When I came home, I backed into the driveway and disengaged the 4WD.

This morning the pavement was dry. Everything seemed normal when I started
out (didn't use reverse at all, I don't know if that's relevant) but on the
highway (going 70 MPH) I started to notice a sound coming from the right
front wheel, like grinding gears. It started quiet but got pretty loud.

As I slowed down, the pitch got lower but the sound got even louder! When I
got down to 25 MPH it suddenly went away.

I'm seeking opinions as to what happened and what I should look at to see
if anything is damaged.
