Hello from British Columbia.
Disabled just means you need to find a different way to do things.

Good luck. I bought a RHD blazer and live in the UK and some parts are hard to get. Great value truck, plenty of power, and a like different.

Check for play in the pitman arm - if you get someone to lie underneath front and you turn the wheel back and forth a little. If there is play you will have a lot of bother getting a replacement.

Including for RHD parts?
If that's true then my truck will live forever - after we run out of parts down under - shipping costs provided! LOL
