The Blazer was having an odd wear pattern on the tires, and seemed to "handle" strange , I looked underneath at the front end , and found that one of the end link bushings had snapped off, a quick trip to the auto parts store, they were only $10 each, super easy to change .....and WOW ....What a difference now!!

Will be going through and checking some others as well...

Hey BPG did you grease your front end after? Your ball joint looks starved for grease.

Are those shocks original? They're looking kind of tired too.

Energy Suspension is another good brand for end links and control arm bushings.

They don't look quite tight enough bro:you need a little more crush on the neoprene parts.
Int his case they serve a dual purpose (make up for the non-existing shocks)lol
