88 chevy blazer with a shaking problem in the front!! i checked out the wheel bearings, brakes and rotors, harmonic balancer, and the clutch fan .. everything checked out except for the clutch fan so i replaced it and the blazer is still shaking bad.. it starts to shake around 20mph and get worst as you speed up!! so i am thinking that it might be the torque converter.. so i am asking for any info that could help me fix the problem with my s10 blazer.. thanks

Have you checked the balance and roundness of the tires?

Does it happen at certain RPMs or does it happen only at certain MPH?
May be a good idea to clean your belt(s), a buildup can cause unbeleivable shaking.

if the shaking only happens at a certain speed then you're looking at a tire balance problem. Either that or possibly an alignment problem

if it's happening at a certain rpm, then there's any # of things in the engine that could have a problem.

Yeah this sounds like an alignment problem to me. Do you have a steering stabalizer? If you do it might be bad. If not then you can try getting an alignment. If that doesnt help get a steering stabalizer. This is what most us 4xer's call a "death wobble".
