Two problems related to front suspension have been reported for the 1999 Chevrolet Blazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Vehicle making a loud snapping noise when turning left. Brought to a local garage, was told that both of front wheels were about to "fall off," and it would be very dangerous to drive vehicle. The mechanic actually explained my problem to me, showing me the inch of play that he could shake my wheels. He then went on to tell me that he fixes this problem in this make of vehicle about once a week. My Blazer has 55,000 miles, and has been maintained very well. I am terrified to think about what could have happened, as well as disappointed and upset.
Vibrations very bad at highway speed. Tires repeatedly diagnosed as out of balance and excessive runout. Dealer tried to balance, replace tires and work in differential. They were not able to effect a change. They now saw this is normal performance and have not responded to my reports that vehicle is not fixed.
