The way you describe it, it is probably the nut that holds the wheel.

need more information.

what have you done to try and resolve the issue yourself? bet yourself a Haynes or chiltons manual and troubleshoot.

what engine, transmission, is the bronco stock or lifted?

lots of factors to eliminate here.

did you have this issue before installing the 33" tires? what gear ratio is in the axles and what trans do you have?

tune up time perhaps? fuel pump failing?
