Lightbulb Interchangable knuckles

Hi Guys, I'm going to put knuckles from a 95 Bronco on my 93. All I can see so far is that the caliper is different. Can anyone tell me if I will run into any other problems? Thanks for any input on this matter.

Heck, the difference in calipers is news to me. Nothing that I am aware of unless the difference is a result of some change made in the 4 wheel ABS between 93 and 95.

The knuckles are off a 95 F150. They have the same ABS mounting but the calipers mount with bolts instead of the slidemount which I think are a better set up. (the bolts that is). I'll know more later today when I take the stuff apart. Good luck to me LOL.

I got the calipers with the knuckles. They don't look all that good but I needed the cores. I've checked and checked and all the part numbers are the same except for the brake pads so it looks good. Now I just need the money for all the new parts. My Bronco likes money I'll let you all know when it's done to make sure it works out.

Personal preference would be for the drive pins rather than the bolts....bolts, especially around all that brake dust, just end up siezing up. My wife's @#$%ing chebby Cavalier liked to do this EVERY SINGLE time I had to swap brakes. But then, it was a (G)eneral (M)istake.

I hear ya on the (G)eneral (M)otors. Down here in Phoenix ya don't have to worry about rust to much. It's just real hard to pick up the parts and the tools if ya have to work out in the sun Only around 108 today

Okay, here's what I figured out so far. 95 Ford F150 knuckles will fit on a 93
bronco. Same ball joints, same hubs. same bearings. The difference is the calipers are different and the rotors are different. I now have no ABS due to the fact that I think I screwed up the front wheel sensors some how but thats still in question. I hate it when some guys never come back and tell us how things turn out . so I hope this helps out in the future. Thanks for the input and will talk to you all again.
