2001 2Dr 4WD, bought it new $21K and has 110k miles on it now. I'm replacing upper & lower control arms CVs and hubs. I collected the parts over the past 3 years after I noticed the CVs leaking. Had to add caliber mounting brackets, 1 rotor, pads, and stabilizer bar bushings to the mix. Total parts cost me about $700. I got one side done this past weekend and will start on the driver side tomorrow. I paid out the nose for an oil cooler pipe at the dealer today, $88, but at least I'll stop the only oil leak. A few years ago I did the upper & lower intake manifold gasket replacement that worked out very well.

Does anyone know where I can get rear axle bumpers called secondary springs? Dealer says they're discontinued.

Thanks to this Blazer Forum for the great tips I can find here to help me along.

 

I've had mine for 13 years. I don't want to think how much money I've put into it.

1998 Blazer LT stock equipment; just noticed rear speakers don't work. Have seen other posts that replacing speakers will fix it. Do both speakers go at once or is there another more central problem?
