My 1997 Chevrolet 4wd Blazer pulls to the right and there is this loud thumping noise coming from under the car

The car pulls to the right and there is this loud thumping noise coming from under the passenger side of the car. When i let go of the steering wheel, the wheel is at a fifteen degree turn to the right. I was wondering if it could be the bearings in the wheel or something else. Help Please!!

Bad arm bushing or bad balljoint. It could also be cause by a loose or bad wheel bearing

Ask them why it wasn't a problem before the work that they did in that area, and if it normally needs replacement because of bearing work done, then why wasn't it done, and why should you pay the labor to pull everything apart again? Call your local parts store or dealer for price on part, so you know what they're charging you for labor. If it's 2 wheel drive, (repairpal.com) gives an estimate of about $75-$100 for labor & $50-$75 for parts.? Something not right here! Have you dealt with these guys before?

SOURCE: Constant Grinding Noise fronm the left front

the hub bearing is bad.the reason it stops when you turn the wheel to the one side is because its taking presure off the bearing

You must replace wheel bearings in pairs to avoid loading the old bearing and, in time ruining your new bearing hub it is possible that you have already damaged the new hub

Frontend wont lock in 97 blazer.?

Front end lock is vacuum actuated and if there is no vacuum from the shifter switch, it will not lock the front end. Make sure there is vacuum going down to the switch/valve on the shifter with it in 4wd and engine running, then find if there is vacuum coming out the other side of the switch on the tranny shift valve. On the right fender you will find the cable pull that the vacuum actuates to pull cable and put the front end in gear. Have someone watch while you shift into 4wd to see if the cable is pulled. Check there to see if there is vacuum coming to it when in gear. If there is no vacuum there then the shifter vacuum switch is bad or the line is not connected.

1998 Chevy Blazer making clicking noise in front

Check the ft diff actuater. Sounds like the ft diff isn't complelely disengaging when in 2 wheel drive. Also I'm not sure but I think that the fr driveshaft should not be turning when in 2 wd. If it is turning then you could have a problem with the transfercase.
