The weather here has been about the same.....If the sun is shining the wind is blowing and it's just cold enough to be uncomfortable........Starting on the front in a few minutes......hope I don't need ball joints....

Ok......I have 2 different front hubs.....both appear the same outside.......but inside they are two different styles......left side is late 70's /80's GM style.....I assume the
right side is correct for the Bronco ?.......also not used to hub nut/lock style.....used to 2 nuts with the lock ring in between.....this thing just sort of clicks.....are these ok ??

Both my '89 F-150 and my '90 Bronco had the ratcheting style locknut. I never had a problem with them backing off.

if you have dogs around prepared for a momentary shock when you see a puddle next to a wheel and think it is a leak.

both of my fords I had to do axle seals, both left side...hmmmm ?

then on my "boat ramp truck" ie old chevy 3/4 ton I had leaky wheel cylinder on one side then a couple months later the other one gave out and had to do it. big *** drum you have to remove after the axle is removed....

then one of my 9 inches had a pinion leak, had to fix that.

kinda pissed me off because I had always heard how great the 9" was and when I had chevy novas the 30 year old 8 1/2s would NEVER leak. I had never heard of such a thing. oh well. sorry, rambling.
