STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
BENT TWISTED FINGERS AND CRIPPLED/PAINFUL SHOULDER. MET MR. WILDF AT THE VA MEDICAL CENTER DURING ONE OF MY VISITS TO PHYSICAL THERAPY BECAUSE OF THE PAIN IN MY SHOULDER FROM MY 2000 IMPALA. (MY PAIN STARTED IN OCT. 2001) MR. WILDF WAS AT THE VA CENTER FOR BOW HUNTING PERMIT BECAUSE HIS FINGERS ARE SO BENT UP AND HIS SHOULDER IS SO SORE HE CAN'T USE A COMPOUND BOW FOR HUNTING AND THUS HE HAS TO RELY ON A CROSS BOW. HIS FINGERS ARE BENT UP AND TWISTED AS SHOW ON HTTP://PHOTOS.YAHOO.COM/MIKETOMICH. THIS INFORMATION IS BEING SUBMITTED ON THE BEHALF OF MR. WILDF BY MIKE TOMICH 989-665-2311. I'M NOT SURE OF THE YEAR OF THE BLAZER HE DRIVES. BUT THEY ARE ALL ALIKE WITH THEIR STEERING EFFORT. DT

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
THE TRUCK WAS MAKING A CLUCK DURING LEFT TURNS FROM THE DRIVERS FRONT TIRE, I TOOK IT TO SEARS FOR INSPECTION AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS BUT DID SAY THAT THE BALL JOINTS (ALL FOUR) WERE GOING BAD AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT SOON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE PURCHASED FOR ANOTHER INSPECTION AND THEY SAID THE SOUND WAS DUE TO THE BALL JOINTS (COST TO REPLACE=$700). I HAD THE BALL JOINTS REPLACED...THE TRUCK STILL MAKES THE SOUND AND IN ADDITION, NOW MAKES THE CLUCK WHEN TURNING RIGHT IN ADDITION TO LEFT. AT THE SAME TIME, I HAD THE MECHANICS INSPECT THE DRIVE TRAIN DUE TO A GRINDING SOUND THAT IS GETTING WORSE AND CHANGES WITH SPEED. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS BAD AND WILL NEED TO BE REBUILT/REPLACED IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE (AT A COST OF ABOUT $1000).*AK
