Hey all got a 93 Blazer Silverado. Sawing the wheel constantly. To date all new moog front end components, upper/lower ball joints tie rod ends a arm bushings pitman and idler, new rag joint overhauled redhead steering box new power steering pump, new napa factory replacement shocks. Fresh alignment, tires less than 2k. Still sawing the wheel. Called redhead had me adjust the steering box, better but still sawing the wheel. Oh and a steering stabilizer. Im at a lose, dont know where to go from here.

 

A blazer is a blazer a Silverado is a Silverado there's no blazer Silverado

 

The fullsize Blazers were (up till the new ones) always available with the Silverado top trim package.
Try contributing rather than showing off you're lack of knowledge.

OP: Did you get a printout from the alignment shop? I have always had problems with the factory alignment specs and I suspect there is improvement to be had from some adjustments. Is it lifted at all?

 

There is no such thing as a blazer Silverado get your facts straight buddy. If you can prove to me that there's a blazer Silverado I'll believe you there's no such thing called that there's no such thing called that 🤡. A trim package doesn't make it a Silverado

 

K5 Blazers exist

 

Codee, just curious how old you are? Back in the 80's and 90's, Silverado was the top trim level on trucks and Blazers. Starting in 99, the Silverado name was applied to all trucks. Try doing some research yourself rather than asking someone else to prove it to you.

 

Yes I've done research nowhere shows that Blazers were called silverados there was k5 Blazers some people called them k5 blazer silverados doesn't make it a Silverado. My 2003 blazer is not a blazer Silverado so I don't know what the **** you're talking about.

 

Good thing I started commenting Its actually getting some attention on this guy's post.

 

Unclegee, could you describe the problem in more detail? Does this occur at a particular speed? Do you have oversized tires? Have the tires been inspected for defects and/or road force balanced? These trucks can have some pretty wild reactions to tire imbalance. You could possibly try rotating the tires and see if the issue changes.

It looks like you have replaced a lot of components. As AJ asked, what did the alignment report say? Being a '93, it is an independent front suspension fullsize blazer and will have suspension in the front similar to the 88+ fullsize trucks. Did they inspect the control arm bushings for excess play? Depending on the environment, two common conditions can happen with control arm bushings that old; they can swell and soften (oil contamination, etc.) or they can crack and harden (dry rot). With the amount of parts replaced, I would hope that they took a look at the control arm bushings. You also cannot rule out that one of the new components could be faulty out of the box.

I would start with the tires though as they are often the most overlooked cause of issues like this.


CODEE_, it is never good to fixate on a non-issue that you lack understanding in, then be obstinate when it is pointed out. If you cannot be helpful to the person requesting assistance in a thread, perhaps it would be better to not post in said thread.
