Grinding Sound

SGTMORROWUSMC · 03-26-2008, 02:14 PM

Just replaced all 4 tires and started to install a new shock absorber when i realized the parts store sold me the wrong shock. I reinstalled the old shock and returned to shock to the store. Ever since then there has been a growing sound coming from the right front of the vehicle. It sounds like grinding metal and it is definately from the right front of the car and that is where i started on the shocks. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? It is a 2000 Blazer S-10 LT. I know there was a recall on the brake system for that year, could that be it? Please help.

Are your dust shields rubbing your rotor? You mighta bent one slightly while under there.

is the grinding all the time, during turns, certain speeds? give more details. did you just get new tires and shocks or did you replace other stuff too?

When I had a grinding sound it turned out to be a wheel bearing. Had to replace the hub.
