• Be EXTREMELY cautious if someone offers to buy your Bronco for more than your asking price and sight unseen. ESPECIALLY if the buyer is overseas. It's probably a scam.

Used for a while, and then what? Changed to the spindle type shims?

Yes. In my case, I used the 1.5 deg. eccentrics and on the driver's side, it forced the knuckle inboard enough that something rubbed (I think it was an axle flange on the knuckle or a brake part) and make an annoying noise so I swapped them out. I was fortunate enough that another member on here offered me a set of the knuckle shims for a great price.

I have a set of Moog K-974-4 shims that I ordered thinking they would fit. They fit the Chevy disc conversion and the dana 44 drum spindles. The moog number that fits the F150 spindles is K-976-4, the last number is the measure of degrees in 1/8's on the 974 numbers. Here is a sheet that will help, I got it with the shims I ordered. At least that was helpful.

I have a message to a place that has some, I think. I am waiting for confirmation on the O.D and I.D before I get too excited.
I had one a few months ago that I gave to another member on the board, I knew it would come back to haunt me.

It’s good karma, you’ll get it. Besides, maybe a Bronco vendor will see this post and step up to carry these.
:cool:

I wish Karma would kick Murphy's butt and help a bunch of us out! Here is to hoping!

Update: I ordered a set of shims back in August from a supplier. I was supposed to receive them a week ago. I got an email saying they are delayed again until the end of October. If these do in fact work out when and if I get them I will post up what they are and where to get them. I am still hoping for the best!

If you do, and after Langester gets what he needs I ask for 2nd Dibs on making a deal on them!

I will keep everyone posted if my other source works out for new shims being built. Hopefully I will get an answer this year!?

Richard is the Man! I got my shims today, what a relief that is. I appreciate the extra package in the box as well! Thank you Sir, I owe ya one for sure!

I will keep my search up for any shims being produced or sold out there on the internet. If I find some I will post up and let everyone know. These things are like finding a unicorn, hopefully something pops up so everyone that needs them can get a set.

I finally got a reply from the company I ordered shims from. No explanation but they refunded my money. No surprise there, I was sure hoping for the best though. I am going to keep looking. I will close this thread, if and when I find some I will start a fresh thread.
