i GIVE up !!!!!!

on my 97 blazer 4x4..
The Mechanic at my boyfriends work but her up on the lift and well heres the diagnosis:

The Pitman Arm, Idler Arm, and the Drag Links are SHOT! I have so much play in my steering, i can move the wheel left and right A LOT and it doesnt turn.. Everything is moving around under there i guess..

The parts out of the Chevy dealership came to $315 but my boyfriends mom used to work there, so the parts guy gave us an employee discount.. came to $215.. SAVED $110!!! Also, its a $400+ job to do, and the mechanic at my boyfriends work is going to do it at MY HOUSE next weekend for $100 cash.. My boyfriend is the best!! but im sad about my blazer.. it seems as though since i got it, she's cost me so much money.

Retail= $9500 when i got her.. i said $5500... Tranny blew 2x in December.. yes TWO times.. that set me back $1600. Then she needed a Starter and a Thermostat... im having bad luck with her so far.. Too bad i love Chevy's sooo much.

Re: i GIVE up !!!!!!

Hate to say it but 97 was a real bad year for S-series vehicles. Had a new one for three years, just about gave it away to unload it. You'd think GM would have figured out how to build them by then, but sure seem to have more than their share of problems.
