Re: 1972 Blazer Steering

My percentage rating is skewed as the only base I have to go off of is the horrendous way it previously steered and comparing it to our brand new vehicles.
Previously driving it I encountered several near death experiences. I drove it home violently and was very pleased.
I bought the caster shims but didn't get them to the shop before they already corrected and reinstalled the front axle assembly... so now I get to do it.
The straigtened axle tubes corrected every issue that has haunted me since I got it. The leaf spring shackles are even, the wheels are centered in the wheel well, the front passengers wheel is VERTICAL and as stated, the steering is corrected for the most part.
I'm amazed that they could have been that screwed up and I couldn't tell no matter how many ways I have checked them.
I greatly appreciate everyone's time and effort helping me.
I'm sure I'll be on here begging for help with all the goodies I'm about to install.
