We have a 1997 Jimmy with a 4.3 auto with 142,000 miles on it.Also it is a 4wd 4dr.The body bushings are worn out.Performance Acc sells a 2" body lift thought if going to replace bushing lift it a little (wife's truck she likes the look). Has anyone done this to there Jimmy or Blazer? Next the front end lower balljoints and tie rods need replace.When searching for parts I found a company out of Canada on E-Bay (sorry don't have the name of company right now) that sells a total front end rebuild kit for $142.Has anyone seen this and/or use this?
Last ? have a coolant leak somewhere. Check everything found nothing no drips can smell coolant sometimes. It not in the oil.Any ideas anyone? Thanks everyone ![]() |

Re: Bushings etc
Body lift... you're on your own there. If it was a good idea, the factory would have made it an option.
If you're going to keep the vehicle, use Moog front end parts. That $142 stuff is fine if you enjoy replacing it every couple of months. Coolant leak will require a pressure test to locate the leak...Intake manifold gaskets are very common, use the Felpro MS98002T new style gasket and it will not leak if installed properly and torqued correctly.

Re: Bushings etc
Thanks for feedback. We have had this truck for 7 years now and do plan on keeping a little while longer.The company I talked about is Arm-Can autoparts in Toronto.
Thanks again. |
