I have an 03 trailblazer. I had alot of front end noise and vibration in the pedal and steering wheel. I had an alignment done. No change. I then replaced the driver side front wheel bearing. Just a few weeks later and the noise is still there. ALl indications are that it is from the bearing I just replaced. There is a loud hum going straight or turning left but a right hand turn and no sound. Now my 2 questions....
1)I bought the wheel bearing cheap (40 bucks) from am-autoparts.com. Is it possible they sell crap bearings and I really do need to replace it again already? Anyone knwo about the qulaity of their parts.
2). WHen I had my alignment done, the stealership told me that they could not align it properly because my front struts are shot. They quoted me 500 bucks to replace them. I have never heard of that affecting an alignment but i need new tires and dont want them to wear unevenly. Any opinions on this> Can I replace them if you think they should be.....
THanks for any advice
