Floating Bravada?

BLUEMEANIE -> Floating Bravada? (4/16/2008 2:05:00 PM)
My wife's ‘00 Bravada feels like it's gonna flip every time the hwy makes a turn or there’s a bump. When it bounces it seems to float back and fourth from one front corner to the opposite rear corner making it seem very unstable. Any ideas as to what it may be? If its serious suspension work or enough has to be replaced I’m gonna lift it while I’m at it. It also has a clunk/thump when the wheel is turned almost all the way to lock but I suspect based on past experience working on cars that it’s a mount or bushing issue that will be resolved when I do the rest of the suspension work. btw, nice site you all have here!

shocks??

that was my first thought but (and I don't know anything about the truck ... yet) I read some where it has a self leveling rear so I didn't know if it might be that going out. This is all preliminary research, I haven't even begun to physically poke around as the weather has just turned nice and my car is in the shop so I happen to be driving the truck today.

The Clunk: A lot of Blazers do that when you have them turned all the way. I think its just a characteristic....like when you turn on your ankle, sometimes it pops but doesn't hurt anything...

Shouldn't pop.... My old Bravada didn't... Sounds like you need new shocks all around and possibly new sway bar end links up front.

endlink ... good call. I didn't even think about the endlinks. Thanks!
