steering stabilizer on a 1990 eb bronco
I currently do not have a steering stabilizer on my bronco and have heard that they help the feel of the front end. With the TTB front end where does the stabilizer connect. My only guess would be from the frame to the pitman arm. My questions are, is there a stock stabilizer and where does it connect. Those that use them, do you like them. I went to KY motors and they said they had a replacement for a 1980 to a 1996 but needed to know if the frame was boxed. I was unaware that ford ever produced a bronco with a full boxed frame, or are they referring to something else. I do know that the frame is boxed on mine where the steering gear mounts.

You can probably order a better one from the places below.

Extremesuspension (formerly Dick Cepek) but its not listed on line but is in Jan OFFRoad mag add. http://www.extremesuspensions.com/ca...cadf00b244a84d
Roughcountry has them (Heckethorn) also. http://rough.roughcountry.com/
Including mounts, they are around 49 for the single and about twice that for the double.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33590 That is the exact one I am running on my bronco now (even bought it from the same ebayer). It has everything you need to bolt it up. Oh, and you only need to run a dual stabilizer if you are running real big tires. A single will work better than you think for longer.

What they may have been refering to was whether or not it has the quad shock setup on the front. Being a Eddie Bauer edition you should have a quad shock front end. If I remember right, it has to do with whether or not you have the mount as the steering stabilizer uses one of the shock mounts as a mounting point. One non-quad shock models, without the mounting tab, you have to add the mounting point for the stabilizer shock

I am kinda partial to them now... they way it started was last fall I was needing another daily driver and scored the 90EB for $900 with a bad fuel pump relay. It needed tires and I had a couple friends running the Maxxis, and the local tire shop guy made me a price on a set that couldnt be beat. Then last winter we really got hit with some good snow, and I went everywhere I wanted to go, and even took the lead on some snow-trail rides that some of the other big name tires were having problems going thru. This summer with 20,000 miles on them they still look like new, so when I got the 90XLT, and it needed tires I ordered another set. Same thing for the F250.
Quiet hiway ride
Aggresive enough for most off road situations those trucks will see,
cheaper than the big name tires
and extremely good wear
Whats not to like??
Besides, if the off roading gets too serious, I go and get out the 79 w/ the 38" Swamper and a 460
