99 s-10 blazer has sqeeking noise from front driver side. sounds like rubber rubbing but cant find it. what can it be?

It could be several things ....
Wheel bearings - jack the front driver side up. First ... just rotate the wheel ... you should hear NOTHING. Any noise menas there is probably a wheel bearing/hub issue. Now take hold of the tire in the 9am and 3pm positions. Try to push/pull from side to side ... if there is any "play" in the wheel the bearings are going.
Brake line interference - a lot of brake lines have a plastic sheath in the wheel well area ... check to see that the line/plastic sheath shows no wear when you have the wheel off...that might cause the issue.
Steering linkage - even though the upper control arms were recently replaced look at all the ball joints and grab hold of them and see if there is any play/movement.
Repeat on the passenger side..
Good luck on your troubleshooting

Sounds like it could be the brake pad indicator. When the brake pads start to go bad there is a small mettle lip that makes a sound to warn you before they get too bad and fail.have them checked.

have your wheel bearings checked.

sounds like a failing rubber insulator
take it to a front end specialist shop for a detailed inspection

could it be the brake pad wear tabs telling you your pads arealmost gone? Check your bearing with vehicle off ground and slowly rotate tire to feel smooth movement at spindle. if noise coincides with rough road it is suspension parts/bushings

hi this sounds like your brake pads have worn, or the brake shoes as well, if you have drum brakes on the back it will be shoes, if disk brakes will be pads+shoes (inside the disk) if it was the wheel bearing you would hear a loud humming noise not rubbing noise, is it a metallic rubbing noise or a rubber squeaking rubbing noise? just check condition of tyre on back if it is the squeaking rubber noise cost will depend on where you take it and if you do it yourself, possibly $40 to $50 at a garage/auto shop or possibly $20 to $30 if you do it yourself, this just depends ...hope this helps

if the noise only happens when the vehicle is in motion...check the front suspension. place the jack under lower control arm ,then get a bar and lift up on the tire..ball joint issues are well known in blazers and cause this condition. if it does the rattle noise when its idling and to op temp--could be the cat converter causing the noise on pass side directly under passenger seat. when cold, smack the cat with rubber mallet and if any rattle is present, cat should be replaced so it dont cause further damage .hope that was helpful !!

how about brake calipers?

squeaky noise is common from brake pads going against the brake disc.

This is caused by lose calipers or stiff calipers unable to fully open up. This makes the brake pads very close to the brake disc.

When you are travelling at a certain speed, tension on the wheels may cause it to incline inwards or outwards at a very small degree but that is enough to get the brake pad to rub against the disc causing the squeak.

Another possiblity is the brake disc rubbing against the disc guard. Usually metal and behind the disc. You said you had a collision, this may have distorted the disc guard causing some parts to touch the brake disc.

Suspension problem like a rubber bushing. Try recreating it, have some one push up and down on the front fenders one at a time, asuming the noise comes from the front. Try and spot where is coming from, if the part looks good spray it with lubricant not penetrating oil. Is best to replace what ever is making the noise.

going in drive way noise that most of time upper ball joint you can have a stabilisator link that worn i suject you get that ball joint check again i dont like that noise hope its a fixya for you and me thanks pierre
