At 200k could be from anywhere.
If rpm related look at the PCV.
If exhaust could be the cat heat shield or inside it, an O2 sensor shield, or muffler - got to get under and listen or take to a shop and they will tap along the exhaust.
Also could be internal engine or other.
Got to narrow location etc down.

Hi I am having the same problem, does yours stop when you put it in 4x4? Have you had any progress since your post.

I took it to a couple of places, the muffler shop I took it to gave it a look over, hit the original exhaust with a hammer and that seemed to fix it - they said it was the baffel inside. I've also now sworn off lower octane fuel...only the good stuff now, seems to help some, did the first batch of 94 octane with fuel injector cleaner too.

2000 Jimmy Squeak (not the ball joints) by whiteink

Wondering if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction here. I have a 2000 Jimmy and it seems that every-once-in-a-while the front end begins to squeak terribly. I thought it might have been because the Jimmy tends to have problems with the manufacturers ball joints, but they have all been replaced and it is still squeaking???? It might just be my imagination, but I think it is happenning when the temperature gets around 76-85 degrees.
 
Sound description: Sounds like a wagon squeak. I can push down on the front end and it squeaks. It's more like a very loud "CREEEEEEEEEK". ??? Hope that helps. Anyway, I'm not to automotive savvy so any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance,
whiteink.

Grease the front end. Upper and lower ball joints, steering linkage, and A arms... about 10 locations total.

Hub is failing most probably - just did my 01 and both ball joints (lower was really trashed) and one hub had a slight give or several thousands wobble so I changed both - 85k on this Blazer. Blazer is now tighter than new in the front and the 65up shimmy gone.

I have some play in the passenger side front hub and a grinding noise. Needs replacing, that's obvious. Need cash and time, too. Noise began 2 days ago. Anyone know how long or how many miles I can wait before I've done irreparable harm? I need about 5 days or so.
