Re: New blazer with a ?
Check for slop in the steering linkage. Have somebody try turning the wheel while you look at each joint for slop. The first place I'd check is the drag link.

And one more thing to look at is the steering box, big tires are hard on the stock box. You will see a nut on top of the box and you can turn it some and it will help some of the slop too.

Re: New blazer with a ?
check tie rod ends, steering drag link then the box and frame. If no slop then add a steering stabilizer (shock thingy on the tie rod)...
nice looking rig

Re: New blazer with a ?
One more thing to check is cracks in the frame. look near the steering gear box to see if the frame is stressed cracked.
