Road Trip to New Orleans and Shop Recommendation

ECEB · Jul 25, 2017

Hey Guys,

So my 73 got us down to New Orleans from Hartford, CT!

Most everything is still going but we swapped to a 4 turn steering box before I left and it is super sensitive and giving me white knuckles.

Does anyone have ant shop recommendations for down here for someone that could make some adjustments?

You could try Heritage Broncos (I think that's the name) in Baton Rouge. I just heard about them last week.

adjustment to made it less sensitive ?
4 turn is 4 turn.
parts could be worn causing wandering issues ( tie rods, ball joints, loose box, track bar bushings)
my brocko eats trac bar bushings
geometry could be out of whack 9 drag link & trac bar need to be parallel.

Think there is a place on the west bank, I will try to find it for you.

Thank you guys. Maybe it's geometry. I am still learning. It looks like Baton Rouge is about 1.5 hours out. If there is a place on the west bank that would be much closer...

so when you going to be down there .

I am here already! My 73 has made it halfway thus far and I'd like to make to the next leg of the trip a more comfortable drive...

Just go to Black Cat on Frenchman, listed to the blues, do a few shots and start home ! Won't notice any problems !

Hey ECEB,

Taylor here. I live in New Orleans. Shop you are looking for is Fastint. It is a multi faceted shop. The owner builds a few Bronco's slowly and flips them. I believe he will do service work on them and would probably be happy to help. You want to speak to Russell if my memory serves me right.

Fell free to call me at (337) 578-3313 if you need some local info or more help.

Fastint
1432 Manhattan Blvd, Harvey, LA 70058
(504) 263-1112

Thank you very much, Taylor!

Taylor I wrote your number down also.
I'm supposed to be in New Orleans about 9-15-17.
Never know when I might need someone to bail me out of Jail.
Pa Pitt.
