My wifes blazer started a little growl on Saturday from what I think was the front passenger side(I"m pretty sure it was the front axle, if it is this is the 3rd one that"s went bad between her Blazer and my S-10). Today, she was backing out of a parking lot somewhere and it popped pretty loud(I wasn"t there, but she said it sounded like she ran over a plastic bottle) and she said it made a really awful and loud roar coming home. I still haven"t heard as I"ve not drove it yet but I figured it was the front axle. How big of a job is it to change it if that"s what it is?? Any special tools?? I"ve changed the wheel hub assemblys in my 2001 S-10 truck, how much more is there to it?? Any idea as to what a dealer would charge to fix it?? Thanks, Casey

Bad CV joint would give the clunk / poping noise and also the growl or roar. Turn the wheel hard to the right or left and move forward and backward to see if it again makes the noise. Not a lot of fun to change buy easier than changing an axle.

Well, that's kinda the problem. She's staying out of town for the next couple of weeks. I'm going to try and take tomorrow off from work and drive to her and she what I can do with it. Just didn't know whether to try and take some tools and fix it myself or what. The noise that I heard last Saturday sure sounded just like the other axles when they went out, but with my luck it's something else. Who knows...first I can't get a break in the weather to cut hay, and now I'm burning vacation days for this.....
