So, my Trailblazer finally got some new power steering lines, which means I finally began to drive it. Unfortunately, the ride quality is not what I expected. It has 171k on it and my mechanic told me it looks "really decent" for 170k.
Backstory. This thing has been siting since at least late-ish 2015.
It was parked because the tranny went out. It is fine now. But it sat until August.
When I drove it to work for the first time, it rode fine. It goes down the road. If it bit flobbery. That will be fixed later.
I went to accelerate into a climbing lane on the way home today. Was doing around 55 when I entered the hill. I nailed the gas and the thing damn near pushed me into the next lane.
Now, my mechanic did look it over and it does look solid underneath. I have not taken it for alignment yet as I plan to transplant my struts and shocks and do a leveling kit.
Secondly, it pulls similarly when you brake hard. Like in traffic or when coming down the hill on the road I live on, though it is not contained to hilly roads.
So, thoughts?
