Key for 95 Bronco

[sillystring]

We don't have a key for the tailgate on 95 Bronco.  Can Ford replace it with VIN# or do I need a locksmith.

One more question......What is best way to tighten up the steering a bit on this model?

 

[Seabronc]

A locksmith is your best bet, they can key it to your ignition key by changing the pins in the cylinder.

The steering is more than likely due to wear in the linkage or ball joints.  Have it checked out.

Welcome!

Following on steering issues is from,

96 Bronco-F-Series Workshop Manual (PARTIAL) by FORD via

http://www.diesel-dave.com/vehic/manual/stj/stjleft.htm

Same as most earlier years especially 92-96, except for: OBD II in 96; 4WABS (93-96); RABS (87-92); Air Bag (94-96); 3 ***** Automatic Locking Hubs (Built from May 95 through 96); Spark Plug Wire Routing & Firing Order (The firing order for 1987-1993 5.0Ls is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8. The firing order for 1994- 96 5.0Ls & all 5.8Ls is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8.); R134a in 94-96;

2-piece Spindle Rolling Diaphragm Seal (RDS) used on 5/95 to 96 Broncos & F Series 1/2-ton 4WD;

and a few other items that I still need to research such as Mass Air Flow in 95 5.8 California models and in all 96s, other years used Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAP).

The steering is normal for 95 year model.  It is looser than the cars we drive now.  I just wondered if there was  a way to make it more like the tight steering we have on cars now.

 

[Seabronc]

I never had that problem with my Bronco, and those that do usually find it is due to wear in the front end components.  There should be no looseness or wandering. In other words when I move the steering wheel the wheels move at the same time with no play.
