Default 95 blazer

Help my 95 blazer is very hard to control it pulls to the right side of road, also worn out the outside tread on the right front tire. i jacked up the right side front and checked the tierods what i found out is I could move the right tire in and out like it was being steared with out the stearing wheel moving no up and down play

Check the idler and pitman arms, those are common things to be replaced on blazers and can make the difference, also take it in for an alignment and have that all tuned up. just my

Thank you I also think it is the idler arm. Cause i did some work for a friend on his Toyota 4x4 truck and when I jacked it up the pass side wheel did the same thing you could turn the wheel like you would if you was stearing it.

Make sure you have a idler arm puller to get it off, and I would spray it with some PB blaster the day before you plan on replacing it otherwise they can be a PITA to get out

It was the idler no special pullars where needed. thank you all... When I got it off the mounting arm could spin and flop like a fish out of water

I did notice when i was under the blazer that the exhust was small by the motor and large toward the muffler
