Unhappy 2000 Blazer pulls left and right HELP!!!!!!!!

Hi guys I've got a problem with my blazer?This problem is not so bad that I can't drive the truck or anything like that.The truck rides very nice on a smooth road.It pulls to the left just a little.Now when a get on a road with a lot of little bumps or potholes it kinda cuts left and then back right and can be kinda difficult for some to drive.REMEMBER this not terrible but not 100% right,it's maybe 90% percent right.Its like the steering is a little loose or something?I dont know if this is a steering stabilzer,ball joints,tierod ends or maybe even shocks which the truck NEEDS REALLY REALLY BADDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can I tighten the steering box?

While I'm not the best person to get you set in the right direction, a quick Google search yielded some good info that I thought might help.

Let me know how it goes.

I don't think you need to go into adding components, but it does sound like you have some problems with what is in there already. I would be looking at the tie rod ends and the idler/pitman arms for signs of wear (slop).

The fact that it pulls to one side all the time would suggest that you have an alignment issue. Most alignment shops will inspect the suspension and steering before they do an alignment and give you a free estimate of what they *think* is wrong. You may want to get 2-3 estimates to make sure that they are at least consistent with each other.
