I need to replace both door lock actuators on my 1991 fullsize Bronco.
I replaced both in my 85 Mustang with OEM Ford ones, and they fit and work fine.
I can't decide if the difference in price is worth going with NOS over the cheaper aftermarkets. They are about 1/2 price of Ford on Ebay every day.
Has anyone used these and do they fit and work as good as OEM? (which isn't saying much, considering my Bronco had 65,000 on it when they quit.)
I have concerns with the interchangeable rods coming apart, or not fitting correctly.
Any opinions are appreciated.

 

I've seen some mixed reviews about aftermarket actuators. My money goes right to Ford so I don't have as many headaches over junk parts.
AL.

 

I don't know about aftermarket ones, but I stay with ford and I've replaced a few. Learned a bit along the way- most old ford car actuators look the same and will fit. Just the rod length is different and those are easy to swap. Used ones are plentiful and cheap at a junkyard. They usually fail because the boot tears and water gets in. Try covering the boot with plastic wrap with a tie wrap holding it onto the actuator rod. It usually won't fail again.

 

Well, I picked up 2 NOS actuatora on ebay for the price of repros...
NOS it is!
Thanks for those tips Netfly
