Have not talked to the guy since the last time. but i remember reading when i got the truck it has a solid axle conversion if that means anything more? must be out of an older style bronco is my guess. the things he mentioned when showing me were bushings, tie rods and such?

Ok, that makes sense now. This conversion eliminates the axle drop down brackets so I would get new radius arm brackets and bushings. Make sure the coil springs are tight where they mount on. Some of the older broncos had a tracking bar that went from the frame to the differential tube. You will definately need a good maybe even a dual steering stabilizer. Make sure your tires are balanced and your alignment is good.

The man said pretty much everything in my front end was junk excpet the brakes...hmm....fixed, steering is bent (fix it in the future) needs a bushing fixed (near future) and the stablizer bar. feels better, but i can tell where it needs that stablizer bar, ill probably have a buddy of mine put it in...labor charges were through the roof! but ill be safe for the mean time!
