73 blazer leafs? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

hatedinaz · 06-20-2003, 12:51 PM

hello this is my first post here.

upon acceleration the rear passenger end of the blazer drops a couple of inches.i got the rear end up off the ground and i found a lot of up and down play on that same wheel , but no play forward or back.the leaf spring bushings seem to be in pretty bad shape as well, so im pretty sure i need new leafs and bushings.
i just cant seem to be able to locate new leafs and bushings.
i would be ok with a small lift kit if it came with new rears but i would rather just get some aftermarket leafs and bushings
any help is appreciated

try your local auto parts store...NAPA, Checker, etc...

They should be able to order you new leafs with the bushings already installed.

Welcome to the board.

http://www.p-s-t.com or http://www.performancesuspension.com has bushings for it. But NAPA should have OEM replacement rubber bushings.
