Hello,
I just picked up a 95 4x4 Blazer LS and I noticed it likes to wander driving down the road.I took it by my tire guy and we checked it over and he said the Pitman arm was gone.He also recomended doing the Idler arm at the same time,then an alignment.
Any idea how long this job should take in a pefect world??.lol
The parts prices he quoted where reasonable and he has done good work in the past for me.

shouldnt take long. it could be done in a day. just a matter of when he starts to work on it.

 

in a perfect world 3 hours tops

but this aint perfect id say around 4-5

 

Thanks, I'll run with 4hrs-to a full day, after all this has been in the New England salt all its life.He did mention worst case having to take out the steering box if it didnt cooperate....

 

I'm having the pitman & idler arm, tie rods, control and sway arm bushings, ball joints, cv boots, and who the hell knows what else done to mine right now...

.......pppsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss... ..........

That's the sound of me p!ssing away a grand, since I don't have a shop to work out of any more.

 

Update on my frontend work....
Ended up doing the Pitman arm,two lower and one upper ball joints and a alignment total was $597- Which I think is fair considering I didnt bust a knuckle or even get my hands dirty (this time).lol
