I first centered the axle, steering box and the pitman arm straight back. With that set I was trying to mount the bracket to the tube to avoid bolting to the threads on the heim. The lower portion doesn’t seem to have much adjustability, but the top does. Adjusting the top part pushes the pitman...

That was my thought.

It could go on the threaded heim or maybe the heim end?

14” compressed and 23” extended. The frame mount utilizes the existing holes in the frame. I was avoiding installing the ubolts on the threaded heim end because that didn’t seem right, but I could not find any clarification.

Why did the extended bracket not fix it? I was thinking about doing the same thing.

I’ll try this. The shock has tons of travel, but it’s almost like the factory bracket needs to be 3 or 4” to the passenger side.

That was my first try. Not very helpful. They just reassured me I had the right parts.

Now that my Bronco is finally tracking and driving decent. I want to add a steering stabilizer to help dampen the 37’s. I have Duff’s new sport heim steer, so I bought their associated stabilizer and bracket. It appears that with the pitman arm straight back and the bracket installed, the...

This makes sense. I have but another 30 miles on with no signs of death wobble. Since I have had two different sets of tires with these wheels and both had issues, I am thinking two of these cheap steel wheels might not be straight.

3523 is the date code

I checked tightness and play on everything today. I rotated the tires again, this time I found the two tires with the least amount of balancing weight and put those on the front. I strapped a go pro on the bottom and watched the suspension. Of course I can’t replicate the wobble. After all...

Has anyone strapped a go pro to the front during death wobble? Would that show anything productive?

I have always taken this approach. Get it driving perfect, then add a stabilizer, but I have a lot of people telling me 37’s are large and heavy and might require it. I am debating ordering 35’s, but I spent a lot of time and parts to prepare for 37’s, so if I can get it driving smooth with...

I’m trying to locate some new rims and tires to give that a go. Planning on double checking my ball joints and preload this weekend. Is my caster at 6.8 degrees an okay number? If adding a stabilizer fixes the issue, does that confirm it’s most likely a tire problem? Does anyone have a Bronco on...

I don’t remember the issue initially, but it’s been under the knife more than on the road. It hasn’t been until the last few years I have been doing more highway driving. Didn’t drive it much with the 33’s as the ending was getting rebuilt. I did the 37’s, suspension, axles, engine, transmission...
