DEATH WOBBLE
|
Item #: death_wobble
Dangerous and scary, the "Wobble" is definitely something that needs to be remedied.
Question:
I'm doing a restore on a 1973 Bronco that I bought 1 1/2 months ago. When I bought the Bronco, it had the radius arms disconnected from the area they should be, but they were still attached to the front axle. The vibration that I speak of is comparable to the space shuttle during take-off. When the vibration does occur and I look out the window at the front axle, it looks like after-burners in full idle ready for launch. After installing the 3 1/2" lift ( bushings, shocks, coil springs, and leaf springs), the vibration stopped, but now at times the vibration is slight and once in a while it comes back to shake me back into orbit but not as bad as at first. Also any bumps in the road can spark the rocket motors. The lift kit is on correctly and tight to specifications. I will be buying new rims and tires this week, which I hope will help. I'm puzzled by this freak problem. Do you have any suggestions? Your help is greatly needed.

LIFT KIT
|
Item #: liftkit
Lift kits are some of the most popular accessories used in customizing Early Ford Broncos and other vehicles. A lift kit is an aftermarket vehicle accessory that is installed to raise the suspension or the body of a vehicle and give it a higher profile. Lift kits are usually used by enthusiasts who want to create a more imposing look to their Bronco. It results in the wheel wells riding higher, thus allowing larger tires to be installed.

BODY LIFT KIT
|
Item #: bodylift
A body lift kit can be a great benefit to your Bronco. Many four wheelers put a body lift kit on their 4X4 to get better clearance on the off-road trails but street drivers will enjoy the lift as well. A body lift can give more room for bigger engines, exhaust tubing, transmission, and other parts you want to upgrade for better performance. Whether you do your own maintenance or not, the extra room will be an advantage when you need to do a major maintenance of the transmission, engine, or the starter.

How To Measure Wheel Backspace
|
Item #: Wheel_Backspace
The back spacing measurement is critical in the fitment of the wheel (and tire) to the vehicle. Since the suspension, brake, steering, and drive systems are typically located behind the wheel, the back spacing is used to define a volume behind the wheel where these items can exist.
