steering help....
 

well while out last night my blazer (stock 4x4) tried to kill me again.... been having prolbems with the steering locking up while make a sharp turn,i was thinking steering box might have lost a tooth so i swapped that,and while messing with it installed a better stabilzer, thought that would fix it,took the wife for a nice drive about 8-9 miles from home totaly unexspected,it lock up to the right,had to turn the wheel to the left about a quarter turn more that i should to get it straighted up..wth? then ok for a while..
i checked pretty much everything i know,ball joints, tierod ends,steering arm,all look good.. it does make a clicking sound as i drive...so give me some idea`s guys... its summer time top is off the wife wants to cruise..

Check that the steering arm isn't rubbing on the tire, When turning to the right my truck's steering would lock up because of the bind it caused.

Frozen axle shaft u-joint would have been my guess.

Re: steering help....
 

Yup, me to. You might as well do both of them. That way it's only down once.
Pay particular attention to the inner spindle bearing while it is apart. "Stickey" axles beat on them pretty hard.
