“Chevrolet s-10, 2000, with 19000 miles on it. Left front wheel bearing had to be replaced. It also, was never driven in the winter, so there is no salt damage. We had an independent mechanic do the job because the Chevrolet dealership would not get back with us.,and we think something should be done. We paid $329.02 to have this work done. Also, I heard that a lot of these trucks and blazers have had this same problem.”
