Hey,

I just bought a Blazer from my best friend the other day and its got some problems that I need to fix. Yesterday when I was driving it, I noticed that everytime I turn sharp it makes a creaking noise. I thought it was the swing arms, but I'm not that "car savvy". My buddy said I should check my bushings or whatever. Seeing as I've never had to work on my own car before, I have no clue where they are located. If you guys could help me out, that would be great! Thanks.

There is a difference between a creaking noise from metal to metal contact & a bushing creaking so listen closely.

The bushings are just rubber spacers. You should have four, on the a arms. (connect the hubs to the frame). The shocks, the sway bar, I don't remeber if the torque arms have them or not. Things like that. I may help to have someone on the bumper bouncing while you look at it. That may be enough to hear it.
