:wave: Hello all, Just a note on what i have been up to.
:read: The Bronco has been needing some work done to it for a long time. I have had problems with tire wear, loose suspension and steering. New ball joints, axle pivot bushings, swing arm bushings and draglink with new tie rod ends. But it is all done. Wow what a pain to do all this in the driveway. The comealong was a big help pulling the TTB`s Back and forth. The $60.00 ball joint press was a life saver.
Now i need to save for some new tires.

Ford twin I beam has to be one of the more expensive suspension to maintain. There are a lot of bushing and pieces in there to go wrong. Don't get me wrong, they do ride nice, they just don't seem to take the abuse that a Standand front end will and still stay aligned and true.

Just my 2 cents.

I just wanted to get it all set right so when i get the new tires they will last alot longer. If i have any warranty issues, they can not use worn parts as an excuse.
