Front axel pivots 1st gen Blazer
 

I have a eighty-five Blazer with a six inch lift kit, the front suspension pivots from front to back when i brake or make a hard turn which of course sends me into another lane very dangerous obvioiusly, i found the front leaf spring bushings wore out is there any thing else that can cause this axle movment?

bump! Anyone?

Loose/broken U-bolt(s) or leafs? I'm gonna steer toward the worn out bushing since that's what you've already diagnosed it as... I'd imagine you could burn out the old bushing and use a polyurethane replacement bushing. Just make sure the leaf spring is still usable.

Ya i checked the u bolts and they were a bit loose, and the front leat spring bolts that were replaced with the lift kit were too small, so i replaced them and that got rid of almost all the steering problems, but i found out the other night the biggest problem was the rf caliper was frozen and it burn up my brakes and blew the seal out and i lost all brakes, so ya thanks for your help though just one problem leads to another i guess.:icon_frown:
