k10 grinding noise
Well my truck is experiencing its first problem, I drive down the road and sometimes the right front makes a grinding sound, it only does it sometimes and if I slow down completely it goes away. I jacked up the wheel no play in the wheel bearing or balljoints and was professionally aligned to spec. Anybody have any clues to what it is?
Seems to be worse in the rain Doesn't do it all the time Can be felt in the steering wheel Braking doesn't seem to effect it

Re: k10 grinding noise
Could be a driveshaft universal joint. An easy fix.

Re: k10 grinding noise
I'm assuming the front? The rear was shortened and rebuilt last November. The truck also had manual warn hubs, but are about 17 years old.

Re: k10 grinding noise
I was tracking down a grinding sound for a couple weeks. Always heard it when turning then it would go away. Finally heard it with the Blazer parked on level ground looked all over and saw the sparks from the balancer hitting the front crossmember. Replied the motor mounts and no problems with the grinding noise after that.

Re: k10 grinding noise
take the hub off and check the wheel bearing. Checking for up/down play just by jacking it up and grabbing the tire doesn't always show a bad bearing. Sometimes the caliper holds the rotor tight enough that you cant feel anything bad. If you haven't been into the wheel bearings in the last year or two, I would certainly visually check them. I repack the front about every 8-10k miles. sometimes more if ive been in deep mud or water. usually have at least one side that needs replacement.

Re: k10 grinding noise
I repacked the front bearings a year ago when I first picked the truck up (the wheel bearings were loose). I will check them and report back here.

Re: k10 grinding noise
I had a similar problem a few years ago with my 82 . Turns out the manual locking hub on one side was not unlocking. My hubs were old as well, installed a new set of Warn hubs, and problem went away. Also repacked the front wheel bearings at the same time.

Re: k10 grinding noise
replace the spindle needle bearing with a plastic bushing from Longfield or RCV ( I think that's the ones making them now), much better design
