Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
Beautiful blazer! What are your plans for it? Lift? 1 tons? Stocker?

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
Which part has play? The rear u-joint area or front u-joint area? Back and forth play? or side to side/up and down?

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
The U-joints both back and front I don't think they've ever been greased. It has up and down and side to side play.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
Me and buddy replaced the U-joint and it seems to have solved all the problems. The old one had never been greased which is probably why it went bad.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
Thanks it was embarrassing to even try and drive with all the noise it was making from that U-Joint

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
When I got it I was going to do alot to it (lift,wheels,tires,etc.) but when I started cleaning it up I just didn't have the heart to destroy such a nice truck so I left it stock. I need to change the thread title but I don't know how to change it.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
thats cool, it does look pretty good though. As some point you may change your mind on ripping into it. Good luck anyhow.
