Sittin Sideways, Blazer In A Daze?
Hey everyone, I have a '98 Blazer and when on level ground, the passenger side seems to be lower than the driver side. I haven't done any suspension mods at all (no lift/etc). What would cause this uneven-ness? Would a T-Bar adjustment be all I need or is there a deeper problem?
EDIT: I should also note that when driving it tends to pull toward the passenger side, don't know if this is related to the leaning issue but it had an alignment around Halloween so it shouldn't be out of alignment.

I'd check the tires and also the tbars. It's possible your passenger side tbar is sagging. If they doesn't fix it then I'd start investigating all of the suspension. You may have a blown shock or broken leaf spring in the back or something.
t bar = torrsion bar. if you are a 4wd you will have one on each side. as a t bar is effectively a "spring" in that it is under tension, it will sag over time. hope that clarifies what Sisk said.
do a search for t bar crank cracking torsion bar etc and you will find the how to with pcs that should fix you right up (if that is your problem0
you may need a new alignment afterwards. take your alignment paper work back to the shop. its been less than 30 days, tell them that you think they left something loose. you are worse than before. please fix me!

i once had a shop refuse to do an alignment on my other 'Burb because the body mounts on the rad support were shot on the bottom cup (could "lift' the front corner of the fender off the frame-slightly). the tech was a tool, he was always arguing with me about mechanic's 'n such-he wasn't even a licenced mechanic, just an alignment guy!
anyways, when the new tires were being installed, he noticed the "flex" up front, and refused to do the alignment, sayin, "the trucks body is gonna flex and lift as you drive, changing the set-up of the alignment, 'causing my tires to wear improperly". *** hat! i went back 2 weeks later, telling him they were done, even though they weren't (he didn't even notice!......what a TOOL!), and had the alignment done, without any issues after that.
