Dash shakes
I know that someone out there must have had this problem, as my '93 Bronco did the same: my '94 Bronco's dash shakes around quite a bit on rough roads. Just the right side, the driver's side doesn't seem to move. Is this normal, and is there a fix? I've looked, but can't seem to find a cause.

Great topic, snowdog!
My '94 Bronco's right side of the dash started shaking up & down on rough roads last summer. Found a sliver of plastic on the floor, figured something broke. Too hot to spend time looking under a dash then, will do it in winter... I forgot all about it last winter. I better do it this winter, before it shakes enough to break off the [I]next[I] mount.
I didn't realize it was that common of a problem!

Yesterday morning I took a quick look at mine. Over by the door, between the dash and the top of the side cowl panel trim that goes up for a bit next to the dash, I could see a bolt head. And black plastic under the bolt head. Black plastic that was broken on both sides of the bolt head!
And today I read subford's post, with link for the kit, right where mine is broken!
Thanks subford!!!

I got the kit on mine. It works great. To install it you'l have to take the whole dash loose, and swing the passenger side back a little, but its not that bad. I left the bolts installed on the driver side and just loosened them and removed the bolts on the passenger side. I had mine repaired in about 15-20 minutes.
