Axle Hubs problems of the 2002 Chevrolet Blazer

Two problems related to axle hubs have been reported for the 2002 Chevrolet Blazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Axle Hubs problem

Failure Date: 05/13/2005

Front wheel hub assembly went bad.

2 Axle Hubs problem

Failure Date: 01/17/2005

I have been hearing a noise in the front end for a few weeks and I had the tires replaced but it did not cure the problem. I have found out that I need a hub assembly which is $500 for the part alone and I need an idler arm which I have taken my vehicle in faithfully for maintenance to the dealership and they never told my about it and just said to watch the tires. Obviously with the wear on my tires (outside wear) they should of have known. I have been in twice for the front end replacement of bushings and many other things and I also have heard from many people having the same problem as I have with the hub assembly. Not everyone has $500 to just fork out. Please help.
