Re: Matt's Bronco

Need a new steering box first. From doing research it looks like I need to do an equal length steering setup with this kind of suspension travel. My last Bronco was a solid axle so steering was easy to fab, this would definitely push my skill level.

Should I rebuild Injectors? Other engine questions.

1995 351w 160,000 miles I'm pulling the motor to take care of some small items and remove the smog pump (hacked up by the PO). The motor runs very well, any reason I should consider going through the fuel injectors, i've seen a few rebuild kits on ebay. I would rather not if it might cause some issu...

Re: Wheel Adapter Info

Agui - Thanks for the info, I'm 50/50 on them as well, just sucks that tires rub. I won't be doing anything crazy enough to break them off, still don't want to risk it though.

Can you buy a hubcentric for Dana 44, or is that a custom machined piece?

Re: Wheel Adapter Info

Everytime I bring up wheel spacers/ adapters I get a big frowny face from everyone, when I can buy a wheel with the same backspacing that I'll have with the spacers on my current wheels.

It would work as a steering stop but the big lugs on the mud-terrains makes it feel like your running over babies.

Re: Wheel Adapter Info

I only ask because people talk about wearing out wheel bearing with spacers, just figuring out where that line is.

Re: Wheel Adapter Info

Does a wheel with 4.5" backspacing and 1" adapter/spacer have the same characteritics as the the same wheel with 3.5" backspacing?

Wheel Adapter Info

My front tires (35x12.5) are rubbing the radius arms at full lock, just need about an 1" space. Found these adapter/spacers at Polyperformance, will these work ok, actually I know they will work, but are they safe. I was told lots of loctite and check lugs monthly or so. I'll be doing some highway d...

1995 Bronco - Dizzy gear - 5.8

Haven't pulled the dizzy yet, but need to replace. How to check for steel or cast gear? I was told that NAPA makes a decent replacement. Thanks

recalibrating computer for new gears and tires

Installing 4:56 gears and 35s, do I need to recalibrate anything? Did't know if the new gearing would affect the tone ring in the rear and, then causing the transmission to act up.
Thanks!
