I have a 99 blazer 2 door 4WD. I just repaced the idler arm on it and I think I screwed something else because now as I go over bumps the truck sways in the steering. At some points I feel like I am going to loose control, it is especially worse at higher speeds. It never did this before I replaced it. What did I do wrong or what can I look for to correct this problem?



Thanks Jeff

 

i have a 97-2 door and i replaced my idler arm and it done tha same thing and the guy at GM said it needed to be broke in and ive put at tha most 7,000 miles on the new idler arm and itdont do it as bad now.

 

Seems if that were the case then new cars would sway all over the place, wouldn't they.

 

i have the same problem. i had a mechanic replace the left ball joint and the idler arm about a year ago. since then, every time i go over a bump or wave in the road the whole car has a twisting motion and i had better be alert or i will lose control. it didn't do this at all before the repair and had a wonderful ride. The mechanic shop didn't own up to anything and i have had it in 5 different places and they just align it and give it back with no affect. What can be wrong with it? i want to keep it another year or so but am ready to give in.
