I just had the upper cotrol arm fixed on my 1999 Chevy Blazer on the driver side. I just had it replaced and now when I put it in reverse it is making a popping noise but its coming from the passenger side what could that be? My alignment is out pretty bad pulling right and I have drive this thing tomorrow 4 hours going 75 you think that will be ok?

Sounds as if the lower ball joint on the passenger side may be worn out. Raise the suspension by placing the jack under the lower control arm and raise the vehicle. Use a long prybar underbeath the tire and pull up on the prybar while watching for any movement in the ball joint.
