Specs: 2001 Blazer LT, 4.6, 4x4, 149,500 on the odometer.
Concern: the other day my wife asked if it looked like the driver's side was lower than the passenger's side (front end). After looking for a few moments it does look like the driver's side is lower but I have no idea what it would cause it. I don't do any off roading so that can't be a reason. I had all new shocks replaced earlier . Along the same lines she said it sounded like to her that something was loose underneath the floor on the same side. To me it feels like something directly under my feet near the peddles. Now we do live in NJ and we have the worse roads (potholes) and our devlopment has spumps (speed bumps). The steering is ok; she just says it sounds like the front end is going to fall off. I have a question about why my power mirrors will only go out and not in but that is another project.
Any ideas out there in Blazer Land???? I am stumped. . . . . . :-/

the 'chevy lean' is common, search 'torsion crank' by cranking up the torsion bar enough to make it sit level again

My mechanic said I have some worn out bushings in the area of the torsion bar. He said that is the cause for the rattle under my feet. Not sure what they are or if I can get to them. Any ideas anyone???
