i was just wundering if the 99 blazer comes standered with a stering stabilizer or if i have to put an aftermarket one on? i have a 99 trailblazer 4x4 with 30" tires on it and it likes to wander a bit. i went from a 90 mazda 626 to the blazer so i wasent sure if some wander was the norm or if its cuse of the bigger tires any help would be great thanks.

 

Not sure on the TrailBlazers, hwoever the S10-Blazers have a mount for a steering stabilizer.

In either case you shouldn't need the stabilizer for street driveing. If your wandering, you have a worn out part. Pitman or idler arm is where I would look first. More then likely it will be the idler arm. If its loose, you found your wander.

 

ill have to look cuse it was saftied about 2 months ago and all the macanic said then was 1 p side ball joint was starting to wear but only very very little. what is the easyest way to check those parts anyway? the truck has 195 500 ks (hyway) on it and i dont know if those parts have been checked. would they be part of a safty inspection? thanks.

 

99 trailblazer, wasnt that an option on the s-10 blazers? then in 01 or 02 they came out with its own body.

 

Yes, the Trailblazer came out as a new vehicle in 2002 (IIRC). Before that, it was a trim level on the Blazer. Same is true for the Envoy. The GMC Jimmy's got the Envoy trim level that had just about everything standard. Both the Trailblazer and Envoy trim levels included specially embroidered seats and door panels as well as two tone seating (I believe).
