Help with 1970 Bronco front end
I'm in the process of restoring a 70 Bronco back to road use after about 15 years of sitting in the weeds. I've redone the brake, fuel, and powertrain systems and finally got it moving down the road. I noticed that the driver front wheel was wobbling when I drove it so I replaced the wheel bearings. Now when I turn corners I'm hearing all sorts of bad noises. I'm wondering if the king pins are bad or if it's something else. Anyone familiar with a Dana 30 front end feel free to shoot ideas at me. Thanks.

You were right to suspect wheelbearings and you're right again to suspect the kingpins. The only other thing that would cause one tire to wobble, other than being out of balance, would be the tie rod end. Other than that, worn 'C' bushings and track bar bushings can cause the Bronco to wander all over the road, but no tire wobbling. Good luck with the Bronco project!
