Newbie with RHD blazer woes!
Hi all
I picked up my 2001 Blazer on sunday, an ebay purchase at a great price. She has 76000 miles and the engine is running sweet as anything.
The problem is with the steering and her being RHD. Yep you guessed it - pitman arm problems. I might have sourced one from Sweden, but I'll not know until tomorrow. Can you repair them with a new insert if this one doesnt work out? Also can you tell me if the idler arm and the track rod ends are different for LHD and RHD Blazers?
Anyway apart from those problems, I love it. I've a few plans for her, nothing major, but I will keep updated on here!
Great forum BTW!

Thanks for your reply! I just spent the last hour and a half scraping surface rust from underneath her.

I also just remembered another member on here kiwiblazer has/had a rhd maybe look him up and read some of his posts might find some info that way or possibly pm him I'm sure he'd be glad to help out he always has in the past!
