I have been chasing death wobble for about a year maybe longer. This is somewhat unique maybe you have some insight because it is frightening! Stock suspension, stock height, 17" wheels with newer tires. All bushings upfront a few years old maybe 6k miles on them. Today I took a very...

I have a single screw in my Warm hub that appears to be frozen. The other 5 came out fine. I tried rapping on the end and a little heat on the hub but no go. Before I make a mess of things anyone have a tip? These allen screws are super tough I suspect it will ruin the hub trying to remove it.

I have a 68 Bronco with the stock D30 with disc conversion. While chasing a death wobble I discovered the lower passenger king pin bearing had completely failed. I use this rig just for street driving and traveling a really bad unpaved road a few times a week. I am really trying to just keep...

I have all '92 Ford OEM parts in my EFI system I just control it with MegaSquirt. I have two issue both I think are related. After driving and shutting the truck off I get a distinct fuel smell. It seems to be more toward the rear of the vehicle but it is pretty strong for a while afterward...

Can someone share good pictures of the rear of the radius arm bushings properly installed? I am getting a fair amount of overall loose feeling in must front end and a quick inspection I have an air gap between the bushing flange and the frame bracket. This may have been there and I never...

This is my first traction lock rebuild but not my first plate style posi. I put new plates (soaked) and steels in and used my .030 thick shim that I took out. When I rotate it on the bench by slide an axle in one side and that axle is clamped in a vice, then rotate the diff by a ring gear bolt...

Fellas - my 9" 3.5:1 traction lock diff had a really crazy failure. I had a bad wheel bearing and I think it caused the ring gear cap bolts to come loose. One of the carrier bearings came completely apart and the bearing bore is out of round and the threads for the adjuster are damaged...

I am still limping my original D30 along since it has discs and has been fine for my use of the rig. However I am on my third set of inner axle seals in about 6 years. Last time I think I paid extra to get some "heavy duty" axle seals but do not remember the brand or part number. Not sure how...

I had read about how hydroboost are hard to rebuild and dangerous. Well after mine finally gave up the fight I decided to rebuild it. I bought a kit off Amazon for $20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LVQRY5B/?tag=cbama-20 Checked out this guys instructions...

I installed Chevy discs / stock drums and hydroboost 5-7 years ago and the braking was phenomenal. The first master cylinder from a '80 Camaro started leaking so I bought a new one a few years ago. The brakes never had the same high pedal, immediate stopping power they once did. Recently I...

Has anyone machined a set of track bar bushings to eliminate the short life of the urethane ones? My stuff is only a few years old / 4k miles and I can't seem to stop some random slop / wobble in the front end on crappy PA roads. I could machine a set of new bushings in the time it takes to...

I had death wobble a few year ago when turning and hitting a bump. I ended up replacing the tie rod end and it went away. I have new c arm bushings, new track bar bushings, new tires, rebuilt steering box, new shocks and adjusted the wheel bearings using a method I learned here. Plus I had an...

Is anyone running the stainless Magnaflow dual 2 1/2" to single 3" outlet muffler? I just bought one on the extreme cheap and before I spend money on stainless tubing and start tig welding I was hoping someone had a sound clip. Even if you have no sound clip but can let me know what you think...

I am tracking down a vibration in my truck so I started looking at the rear driveshaft because I know it has been shortened and my driveline angle is not stock. I installed a 4R70W/NP205 combination. The output shaft is at 90 degrees - essentially straight up and down. The driveshaft is the...

Fellas - I am daily driving my truck now so the small stuff is starting to annoy me. The dash lights will all work then randomly none will work. Currently they are all not working. I have played with the switch (turn, click, turn) and nothing makes a difference. I think power goes into the...

I have my new fancy aluminum tank installed with all new lines (rubber and metal). I added a 3/8" vent to the tank for both fill and accommodate expansion of the fuel when temperatures change. The current vent goes up into the driver side rear wheel well above the filler neck and has a 180...

I have read / looked at videos on this and I am still confused. I'm not concerned about the work I just want to plan for the worst. When I replace the seal do I need to take the brake backing off or not? Some say you do some say you don't so I assume there are two different designs. I have a...

I am building my own gas tank and I am trying to find a sender that works with the stock Bronco fuel gauge. I found one listed for early Ford and Mopar 73 to 10 ohms - does that match our gauge? http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=276/mode=prod/prd276.htm Anyone...

First question for anyone who uses aftermarket solid u-joints in their steering column. I have replaced my lower shaft ages ago with Flaming River stainless steel joints and shaft. Works great, looks great. Do you find they transmit a whole lot of vibration through the steering wheel? When I...

I have oversized tires on 17" rims on my stock height, no lift original Bronco. The fit great and look even greater! I had to trim a piece of the front left inner wheel well. The problem I am having is the right side rear rubs very slightly when the wheel travel up. On the driver side I have...
