My 2004 chevy blazer clunks only in 4whl drive, right front. Anyone know what it might be?

I have a 2004 chevy blazer. When I switch into 4whl drive, I have an intermittent clunk from the right side, mostly when I turn right. Thoughts?

There is so much turning up there that it can be several things. The normal Balljoint problem can have the part slip in and out of its socket if it gets loose. Check your tierod ends for slack.
Sometimes Calipers can rock if they are failing to float properly with loose hardware. The front torque is changing from being pushed by the rear wheels to pulling with the front wheels.
This can affect how the Balljoints react as the sockets are getting torque differently than in 2WD. You are also using the CV joints to pull rather than coasting in 2WD. Check your end play for the front hubs; they used to be about .005 and you need Year model specific Specs to be sure.

Check out some 4-Wheeling Blog sites as they may know more about the common problems. There are so many things to check that a Blog may be your best source.

2004 chevy s10 push button 4whl will not go into 4lo not 4hi

First try disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes. This will reset all of your electrical systems and perhaps fix the issue.
If this doesn't work then check the 4 wheel drive transfer case electronic module in the right kick panel on the passenger side for corrosoion. If any posts are broken are burnt they will need to be replaced.

2004 stx f150 right front wheel grinding noise,

I agree with duane_wong on this one ( not like he was looking for my approval :) ), it sounds like a problem with the IWE ( Integrated Wheel End ) on that side.
Quick test, when you are in 4H ( or 4L ) does the noise still happen ?
I would say cracked vacuum line to the IWE, or a problem with the vacuum diaphragm in the IWE. You can test by having the motor running in park, and in 2H, and check the vacuum line at the IWE for vacuum. Make sure you test to the vacuum line, not the vent line ( ends in the engine compartment, not hooked to anything )

This is a block diagram of the IWE vacuum system

I replaced the right side front axle on my 2000 blazer and I still get a clunking noise when I switch into 4 wheel drive the noise only happens when I press on the gas so I believe it has something to do...

look for loose disconnected rear suspension components.also check for loose driveshaft bolts.inspect all nuts bolts to the specified torque.if everything check out okay.you have worn or damaged universal joint bearings.

Transmission leaks, clunks into gear

Well your clunking noise is most likely the u-joints the leaking pan is the tranny pan what you would have to do is get a tranny kit and change the pan gasket tranny filter and fluid or take to a shop and have a tranny service done.

4 wheel drive stopped working

the light is on.........let's see, where you having problems with clunking noises in the front, now or before when or not in 4 wheel drive? If so sounds like cv/axle shats/joints. Last time you used 4 wheel, was there a big clunk, just once? Is there an ocasional clunk when going over bumps? If so, sounds like Ujoint. I don't belive chevys use vaccum for 4 wheel drives systems at all.
