That is a wierd one. Hadn't seen you in a while. Glad to know you are doing well, despite the issues w/the Bronco. They seem to never end.... But it keeps you on your toes, right???

tore into the front end to find the culprit...bushings, bearings and while i was at it i believe the front springs are shot. so now have to figure out what to do next..
If you can't fix it with a hammer and a welder then your gonna need a new one!

that isn't a true fix. a true fix would have involved some chewing gum and some duct tape instead of the hose clamps...

Well I finally got my bronco on the road. Really I just took it around the block to be safe. Then I took it to the gas station to give it about $20 (1/3 od a tank!). But on the way home I noticed the power steering was slowly going away. Well that will be another thread in my future. Washed and waxed the ole girl up when I got it home. I will need to tighten up the belt or get a smaller one b/c it squeels horribly. Next week I will update the tags and begin driving her to work (a whole four miles away!).:biggthumpup:

Not much wrenching lately other than replacing a brake switch and taking off the hardtop. Enjoying the break, I'm sure it will end soon enough :beer:
