94 Blazer Clunk when hitting bumps...

On my 94 Blazer 1500...

Anywhere from about 5-30 mph, I am hearing a clunk on the front drivers side. Just recently I am actually feeling this clunk right below my feet. It is especially noticeable on my concrete road when I hit the bumps and the cracks. At high speeds I don't notice a thing. However, I believe I am getting the same clunk when making real tight turns in the parking lot. Steering wheel is stiff. Ideas? I would like to fix this myself.

JB

Struts/strut mounts or ball joints.

Is that a Maroon IROC or the lighter red?

That would be maroon sir. Quite a project...might have to sell her. Going back to school and money is getting rather tight.

Yay for Maroon! But you should keep it. It seems that all of the Maroon IROC's I see are '87s AND have T-Tops. That boggles the mind. O.o

Blazers don't have struts...... it's the torsion bar mounts. They go into a crossmember that is located directly below your feet. The crossmember is mounted to the chasses with rubber mounts to dampen NVH and often fail.
