Boy, do I ever wish my Blazer had that little rust on it.
I have rust on it but I guess its not bad, but then again I shouldn't have any since its spent its life in Arizona has been a grocery suv

My front rattles have been either loose or broken end links.
I've always like Brakemotive stuff myself. Good quality ceramic pads n such. What pads/rotors are on Amazon?
I just use a c-clamp to compress the pistons.
Lift the front end and wiggle the wheels 9 and 3 and 12 and 6. If there's play, start checking things.
You'll know there's a problem when you either feel a lot more vibration through the accelerator peddle (my last ones that I changed a few weeks ago weren't making noise but I could feel the vibration) and/or hear them growling, particularly when making turns.
If that's the case, sounds like they're fine...you'll know when they're going/gone by the vibes and growl.
This may very well be your answer.Actually I think I am being paranoid when I was driving I think I felt a vibration, I know my tires are shot
Did you check for any play in the disconnect?
The right side axle goes into it on the oil pan. This video shows it well and what to check for:
Well, you could remove the axle and see if it's actually the bearing or the axle making the noise. You can drive it without the axle.
Although it didn't sound like it, check the brake splash guard possibly rubbing on the rotor.
If you take both axles out you'll want to seal up the open hole on the driver side. A Gatorade cap is a perfect fit to keep crud out of there.
Could do the same on the disconnect side just to keep crud out of it. I opted to rebuild my disconnect instead of replace it as it was a lot cheaper (though more time consuming).
Wasn't a kit. I ordered the various parts that I needed from online. Inner and outer seals, bearings, 3 thrust washers. My shift fork, gears, and collar were all OK. Ended up busting the housing so I had to go to a junk yard and buy another used (and also worn out) disconnect for the housing half I needed.
