Whenever I reach a speed of 100 - 105km/h I feel a vibration in my front. I thought maybe it was my wheels out of balance and it was time for new ones so I purchused a set of new wheels but I still get the vibration. Could someone give me some advice on what to look for next? Thanks.

 

Umm, I'm not sure how fast that is, lol, but I definitely think that's suspension related. Perhaps tie rod ends or the ever popular Blazer ball joints?

 

Basic front end check if your positive the tires are ballanced. Even new tires can be egg shaped, its rare, but it does happen. Have your tires road force tested. Call around, not every tire center has the machine to do it. Road Force will determine if the wheel is bent, if the tire is egg shaped, if rotating the tire on the rim will bring it within specs, and give you the best balance. We road force every tire that comes in for a vibration complaint.

Find someone to do a free front end inspection. I could walk you through it, however it would be better to show you. Go to the free place and have them explain to you what they are doing and why. The above post is correct, it could be ball joints, tie rod ends, idler arm, wheel bearings, shocks, or even a blown cv shaft. They all work as a unit, and any one of them could be causing your problem.

Post up the results and we can walk you through repair procedures.

 

I have taken it in like you suggested and it turns out to be the lower and upper ball joints are shot. They want $700 Can to do this for me. I'm looking at alternatives right now so any input would be appreciated, thanks.

 

Not sure what ball joints cost by you, put by me they cost roughly $30 each.

The hardest part about replacing them is drilling out the old rivets in the factory original ball joints. If they are already replacement ball joints, they should be held in place via bolts and nuts. Even easier to replace.
