Bronco knuckle and Rotors

[68Broncoz]

Will the Ford 5x5.5 F150/Bronco Knuckle, hubs and rotors fit a 76 Dana 44 disk brake front end?

The hubs and rotors are identical, same part number and everything.

The knuckles are different, the steering arms are straight not angled outward like the 76-77 and lower than the 76-77.
This will require changes to your tie rod and drag link to work.

What year f-150/bronco are they for? I think 79 is the last year that fits the eb. Also tie rods will need some mods like he said.

Thanks for the info, I will just keep looking

Keep looking for what? Are these from a different year? Or were you looking specifically for EB knuckles?
I prefer the full-size over the '76 and '77 EB versions because it's easier to fit the wheels with more backspacing I like.

If you get the full-size type, the steering correction is as simple as these shims:

If your tie-rod bits are wearing out and you need to replace them anyway, then it's as simple as getting a tie-rod with larger ends. Or you can get the shims anyway, and use regular Bronco-sized rod ends from then on.
If you try to use EB knuckles you will have to buy a new, longer tie-rod. That's not a problem either, as they're readily available. But if you don't need them yet, the shims are the best choice.

This is was I was getting at. Isnt 79 the last year of straight axle on the f-150/bronco? The parts are different on the ttb.

Even then, most years of the TTB you can still use the hubs and rotors from, only the knuckles were changed.

The ones pictured are from a solid axle, not TTB.

That what I was thinking .. That a good price hub & Rotor are about 125.00 each now .
