I keep forgetting to ask you guys about this. I was just reminded when trying to do an illegal U-eee when a cop wasnt watching me. It was like honking my horn and yelling look at me im turning :p<br><br>Is it normal for the bronco around medium to sharp turns for the tires to squeel. Sounds like the fronts to me but im not sure.<br>

Oologah, OK _
I noticed on real tight turns after my suspension lift that it would "push" the front end outwards intermittantly. I never tried a real tight turn before the lift, so I assumed it was the caster/camber being a little off. Could I have a limited slip front?

Sounds more like an alignment problem, most EB that are lifted tend to have such problem...mine does.<br><br>John

The Bronco turns so tight that hard tires don't get much grip when at full turn.<br>-Eric

My front tires have always squeeled on sharp turns. I think the bronco can turn the wheels so far they arnt turning the same directions and is pushing or pulling on a tire.

Can cause the vehicle to understeer and can cause the tire squeeling also.<br>You might check to see if you have a locker in the rear.
