Blazer vibrating on bumps

rmzl · 09-13-2005, 09:58 AM

Hi Everyone,

I've been having this vibration for a long time in my 97 Blazer and no solution yet.
When I hit a bump/pothole/bad road condition, I feel like the whole Blazer is shaking. You coud feel it in the console, seats, door panels, mirrors......
My first thought are those darn motor mounts. I think they are busted. Do those make such behavior?
I have changed to Bilsteins and ever since the ride is much stiffer but you could feel the tires sticking to the road. I changed the links on the torsion bar mount and the rear axle. I also suspected tire pressure, and tried different settings to no use.

Any help would be great.

Have you checked your body to frame mounts? Could be loose or the rubber bushings rotted thus allowing the body to flex a lot and move around

Check your front wheels bearings. I just did that in mine (95) which had the right wheel bearing several turns untight

. Feel different now

(left side was OK since the other day).

Thank you for the ideas, will look into it. Is there a way to check the body mounts without taking them off?
