i aquired a 1995 bronco a while back and just started to work on it .It has alot of problems.It has a push button 4 wheel drive electrict iam guessing.The front drive shaft turns but wheels dont turn or take power some times i hear a clicking noise. From other posts iam guessing the hubs are no good.What do i need to do next. What are good hubs.Are automatic hubs any good thats what I have.How do manual hubs work what do I have to do on manualhubs to engauage them in the snow. I never had or worked on a 4 wheel drive system before .Any help would be great because she needs lots of love

Hubs are gone. Install manual locking hubs.
Auto will prevent you from getting out. All you have to do is engage 4x4 with your transfer case shifter and back up so it can lock in.
Manual, you will have to get out and lock them. This is the most trustworthy. Why? Because YOU lock it in. It doesn't have to have alot of gears and springs to do the locking for you!
You might need a conversion kit from auto to manual locking hub.
Push button? Let me see a picture?

Shouldn't need the conversion for a '95 model. (The conversion is only necessary if your hubs attache with only three (3) bolts).
There are a handful of reputable manufacturers out there. I personally prefer the Mile Marker brand but Warn makes a good set as well. As with just about anything, you get what you pay for so spend the extra money if you can on a set that has an all/metal mechanism (some use a plastic ****/dial that will deteriorate more rapidly with exposure to oil and the elements.
Removal and installation wil be covered in the instructions for the set you buy but you can also research the procedure here. I am certain it has been detailed numerous times.

It has details and all the goodies for a manual conversion. Maybe take a gander at t and see what you think. Other than that, I don't have anything else to contribute, good luck!
