Default Fixing my Blaz

Dunno if I can, or if I'd be getting to deep for my experience (none) but can I make the brakes better, right now I gotta press half way down to even slow down.

And steering, it's sooo sluggish. Drove it to get gas with my dad today and almost went off the road because I didn't turn enough on a curve, underestimated the steering (got so used to the fusions steering, lol)

So can I fix these, or am I stuck with a sluggish truck?

Anything can be fixed with enough money and determination lol. As for the brakes maybe they need to be bleed or maybe your pads are getting low. For the steering is it hard to steer or does the wheel move and the road wheels lag behinD?

Well I have to try it again, my dad got the snow tires off, he said that could be the problem. But on our fusion, steering is faster, you don't have to turn as much. On the blaz it seems slow, like you can turn about an half an inch and not really go anywhere =S

Probably a pitman or idler arm has play in it. And you got to remember a the fusion is a car that is pretty new, your blazer is an suv that isnt all that new. You can't fairly compare the two.
