Do all Blazers command 100% attention while trying to herd it down the road? I have an 85 with 2.5 suspension lift and 32x11.50 tires. Especially when stopping it pulls hard right and during acceleration it goes left. I've had this vehicle for a long time (100,000 miles) and have tried everything I can think of. Ball joints, wheel bearings, power steering gear, rag joint, tie rod ends, all is new. (complete brake job twice)
The only thing I can't correct is the wheelbase is 1 inch difference from one side to the other. Shorter on the right side, measured at spring perches. Is this a problem and will it cause erratic behaviour? If so how can this be corrected?
