Sea Sick.....HELP

I have a 98 Blazer 4x4 with the touring suspension. Problems is that when I turn it feel like I am just gonna roll over. or when i hit a bump it seems like I am bouncing. I replaced the shocks a couple of months with some monroe monotube's from autozone. What else can I do?

Your going to want to give your susepnsion a good look over. Check the idler/pitman arms, tie rods and everything else under there. I would also replace the front sway bar bushings with the Energy suspension bushings. They are cheap and make a huge difference.

I know exactly what you mean, same feeling with my 98 Blazer 4x4.

Have you done any thing else to correct the sway?

Well now I dont have any sway bars LOL.

But when I did those energy suspension bushings made a huge difference. I dont know if it was because they were better and my old ones were just worn out, but it made a huge difference in the overall handling and feel of the truck. I didnt do anything else other than keeping good parts on the front end.
