bouncing side to side, feels like boat
I have a 97 4 dr 4x4 s10 blazer. It has always had a little bit of bounce, which I always attributed to the shocks. It also was making one clunk while turning hard right and it no longer does that, it just stopped, still seems to have binding, but no clunk. Any way now when im on the highway itll start bouncing side to side, so bad that if i dont slow down i feel like ill crash. It feels as if im in a boat, but on the high way. Im at a loss, ive replaced all ball joints, inner and outer tie rods on both sides, idler arm, upper control arm bushings, and both hubs. I know that the pitman has some play in it, but could it cause a violent side to side rolling bounce? Any help would be much appreciated.

Sounds like you're experiencing some "death wobble". If that's the case, it could be a few things. There are quite a few threads on here about it. Just browse around and see what you can find, then, as the issues come up in the list of known death wobble issues, cross off what you've already fixed and see if that eliminates anything.

yes i did, im gonna have another one done, since the last one was 10 months ago, and see what happens. Ive been watching videos on deat wobble, and mine seems different its not as violent as most of the youtube videos i seen. its more like a bad side to side bounce.
