hello everyone! 1st post here! I have an 06 Trailblazer LT with the 4.2 that is my wife's. Recently bought, it has 147K miles, and already replaced a shot strut in the rear with Blisteins.
Took the car in for annual safety, and it failed. I suspected it would, mainly because car has a hum while driving, which I assume is because of the wheel bearing (Drivers side I suspect).
surprisingly, it looks like its because of the ball joints as well, although when I drive it, it drives nice and no shaking, unless under braking (feels like discs are warped).
Now, since I did the rear shocks, I planned on doing the fronts too with Blisteins. the ride is very mushy right now, and I like how the Blisteins changed the rear feel of the car.
so currently, the plan is to replace all 4 balljoints, 2 wheel hubs and 2 front shocks with Moog and Blistein Parts.
Anything else to look out for while im there?
