I thought I had been having front-end suspension problems with my 98 Chevy Blazer but now think it could be related to the steering/linkage. I have been having a vibration on the front left corner that has been getting worse. I rotated the tires and it stayed in the same place. I had an alignment done and it didn't go away. I then had new shocks put on the front and still no luck. A friend looked at it recently and noticed there was some play in the linkage and even thought it might be the front idler arm. He said we could buy the parts at Autozone and replace it, but I'd like to have someone with some more experience look at it and try to verfiy what the problem is before doing any work on it again.

Are there any MAAST mechanics out there or does anyone know a reputable person or shop I could take it to without costing me an arm and a leg? I'm in northeast S.A. and would prefer not to have to venture too far.

Thanks.
