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

Could anyone please tell me what the noise in the front hub could be?

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.

No way to tell - keep the speed down and no long trips and you may be OK - when it really stars screaming stop.

Mine is a 2000 Jimmy, 2WD. There's no axle spindle nut. Are the three hub to knuckle nuts the only thing I need to worry about? Or do I need to have a pro remove the old and press the new hub in place?

Just finished my own 2000 Jimmy (2WD). No pressing needed. Just unbolt three bolts to knuckle and it about fell off the car.

Yes, thats correct. Need an 18mm wrench. Unplug the ABS sensor line up about 2' on the frame rail at the connector and may have 1 or 2 other retainers to avoid the suspension cutting into the wire. Good time to check those brakes and grease the slide pins.

I have been getting a noise from what a appears to be the front passsenger wheel area. I originally replaced rotors and pads (since it did it only when I was slowing down after driving on highway) to no avail. It kept making noise. I replaced the Hub assembly along with the cv axle on that side, still making the noise but more frequently. Sometimes when I back up it will make an intermittent grind and/or poping. Please help. Is ti my differential, I have the front driveshaft off the differential. Should I be able to spin yoke with the wheels not spinning while jacked up?
