Am I to understand that this is the full sized blazer, or the s10 blazer that had a V8 conversion? Look for structural rust in the suspension and frame. If this was a V8 conversion from a V6, did you upgrade the front springs to handle the extra weight? A friend of mine with a 95 s10 pickup did the v8 conversion and had all the same sounds as yours do to not upgrading the front suspension for the extra poundage. Same thing happened to my 1994 s10 blazer after I went from the v6 to a 98 c5 v8 back in the day.
