Steering Woes.

I am getting ready to buy a Bronco.
It is in very good shape, has no lift, but 31"tires.
The steering has that loose, wandering feel.

Does anyone have a secret recipe to get it to drive straight?

well could be excess play in the stering box, which can be adjusted could be shocks, ball joints, tie rods, if everything else is in good shape and you can get a good deal i wouldnt worry to much about the stering, it not that expensive or difficult to redo the stering. DW

Well the body has only minor scratches and dings. It starts faster than my '00 Focus. Interior is great good. New 31" Mud T/A's on it.
New exhaust.

Nicest I have seen in a long time.

Steering Woes.

Here are the details:
'92 Bronco XLT. 82,000 miles, 5.8, The body is rust free, but has a few small scratches here and there.
It has new 31"(I think) Mud T/A's on it.
The interior is also very clean.

I heard about it from a coworker who lives near it and noticed it getting washed alot.
$6800.

I think this is a real nice Bronco for Alaska...

i dont know how vehicle values are there but, i looked in my new KELLY BLUE BOOK, it low miles for a 92', if it runs out okay and looks to be taken care of I'd say thats not a (BAD) price but offer $5800.00 and go up from there, i think 6K would be a better deal but thats my thought anyway! Good Luck! DW
