98~05 Blazer brake upgrade! DONE!

[V6UnderPressure]

Does anyone know the part number for the factory blazer dust shields? Haven't been able to find a decent rust free set.

nope but ill check to see if i have a set, i dont use them, but may have thrown them away... if i do, you pay the shipping and they are yours

Sounds good. Thanks!

i pulled a set of knuckles this weekend..just one question..i'm replacing the upper/lower ball joints as well.. Since i'm using the stock Regal/GM control arms I should still be using ones for a 87 regal and NOT the 2001 blazer i pulled the knuckles from right?

order them for your regal, pretty much the same thing, while youre are at it, do some research on correcting the geometry of the front end, are you thinking about replacing the upper control arms? if so, you may want to use adj and use the howe tall ball joints, if not, just get new ball joints for your regal

I'm sticking with the stock control arms for now. I have the replacement poly bushings from Spohn for the upper and lower CAs and should be getting those pressed in soon as i finish (more like start) the frame/bay painting. in regards to front end geometry, you mean the alignment right?

You know if S-10 knuckles and brakes are the same as the blazer ones?

the s-10 knuckles aren't the same..the s-10 uses a single piston caliper so i'd assume the knuckle is different for that reason alone.

If upgrading to steel braided brake hoses, will the stock replacement braided hoses work with the Blazer rotors? I'd imagine so since the OP used the original ones.

the s10 spindles are pretty much the same as the stock gbody spindles, you need spindles from a 98-05 blazer or jimmy, non 4x4
