1990 Blazer steering fix/maintenance

[snowdriver]

My old 1990 daily driven blazer that I have had since 1992,and put 245000 miles on,has been not steering all that great,so I replaced the drag link and tie rod ends,and wow ,what a difference ,thing drives really good now,I just could not believe how bad it had gotten ,and I didn't really notice it because it happened so gradually,just thought I would share!

checking parts for wear / damage should be part of a yearly or even every or every other oil change . you would be amazed what you can find wrong in short order.

Trust what he's saying. He took 90% of the slop out of my steering in about 5 minutes. Thanks again Brett

check the rag joint on the steering shaft, might just see even more improvement after replacing it or going to an XJ shaft

Rag joint is in great shape,but I am considering the xj shaft
