Likely haven't seen much on them because all the books (that you should have if you're working on an old truck) already run through the full process with torque values and everything.
There are some YouTube videos too I'm pretty sure. Here again though, you're subject to inconsistencies in the trucks (remember: every Bronco is different), inconsistencies in the knowledge and ability of the installer/videographer (did they read the instructions, or are going by what uncle Bob said 10 years ago on the side of the road with a broken joint), and inconsistencies in modern parts that we never had to worry about in the past (read: crap, both foreign and domestic).
For instance, lately there have been a
TON of ball-joint installs where the upper collar/adjusting sleeve doesn't torque down properly until it's extending half-way through the upper yoke! Never saw that on an original or original replacement 30 years ago. But now it seems all too common.
Not sure how it's actually a bad thing to have half the threads showing, but it's not "normal" so it brings up other questions during the install that make you scratch your head and wonder if you're doing something wrong.
But you're right. We should have a tech article with good clear images, descriptions and some video to cover all the possibilities.
Be well worth it.
So get right on it hoss!
;D
