Paid $146 (total with tax) for 4 Monroe LT Gas-Matics for the front.. some Moog Bushings and new Moog Radius Bracket for the passenger side..

Project for next week..

 

Put the new Monroe Steering Stabilizer in to replace the old one..

Old..



New.. (with a Jegs sticker..LoL..)

 

Yours looked worse than mine.. Dang. How much play did you have in it?


I put a lot more stickers on mine. I had a bunch and didn't want to toss them out.


I did that a long time ago though. Before I discovered the true cause of the death wobble.

 

I dunno the old one was VERY STIFF and hard to compress..

The new one is not nearly as stiff..

I seem to have alot less play in the wheel at 55mph with the new one in..

I figured I'd start with the easiest part to get at..

Next will be the radius arm bracket and new bushing, then the front 4 shocks as well.

 

Ah. Mine had a lot of play in it but the new one didn't do anything to help the wobble I had. The axle side bushing on the Trac bar was completely gone. I could wiggle the bar around a bunch, after I replaced those it was like a whole new truck the steering has virtually no play.

 

Wow.. I paid $9 a pop for the same shocks on rock auto lol...started to paint the frame on the 93... Looks good.. Sheared a couple studs off on the exhaust manifolds.. Luckily I have a new bassani y pipe and flow master 44 coming.. Ordered a bunch or parts off rock auto

 

replace the front hub bearings, pain to find the bearing seals for some reason. then i added lap belts to the back seat for the soft top. waiting on warmer weather to slap that in.

 

Waiting on parts..

 

Been looking at new brake calipers, but I think I'm gonna try bleeding my brakes first before I do anything else. Truck still pulls to the right but I think its a brake issue. They haven't been bled even when I put new rotors and pads on about a year + ago.

 

Hmm... If the truck pulls to the right... Then it's your drivers side caliper..

 

I would agree that it's the brakes. Mine kind of do it but not all the time. My rear brakes are still having issues but they just need adjusting. I am kinda lazy though...


I drove the bronco today, not very interesting but 2 days ago I had an issue where it would not start in park. It had to be in neutral to start. That was after about 1.5 hours of driving around though. Today I went to the bank and it started in park like normal...

 

Do a f350 power booster and master cylinder upgrade. Brake problem solved!

 

That aint a bad idea actually, yeah its pulling all the time not just when I brake so I think I may have a frozen caliper. I know it ain't the front end its been rebuilt about 6months again and realigned twice since then.
Would it have to be a 92-97 f350 brake parts?

 

NE, try lifting the front axle up and spin the tire in question, if it has more resistance than it should, you know where to start. Though that is a bit redundant since you pretty much know what side it is...

 

I don't know about your year model brake upgrade. I know with out 70s Fords or Broncos...we can upgrade out brake booster and master cylinder to a F350 and it helps out...also getting a f350 rear wheel cylinders too.


OR



Get a saginaw pump and do a hydroboost brake upgrade.
