Shield???

[brad050]

Hey I have a 89 bronco and the front brake shields on it are pretty much rotted away. Is there a place to buy new one's? and how are they installed? Here are some pics the first is with it and the other one its rotted right off.





Thanks for the help >-

yo!

Our Main Sponsor here is da Zone has em;

http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/c-159-dana-44-parts.html

Item #32117 - New 1980-93 Bronco; 1980-93 Ford F150 Drivers Side Original Equipment brake dust shield. Driver side. Our Price: $80.00

Now where is their Passenger side shield;

Call em to see if they still have pass side; or it could be my Comcast conn again! We have CC cable and the conn speed is below 1989 dial up speed; and now they have upgades to sell!

or try locally if in a hurry; NAPA, etc.

Call local yards to see if they have a decent set; some do pull those brake parts that have been recently installed before th vehicle wa scrapped esp w/that lousy cash 4 clunkers crap.

for example. 2 months ago someone wrote;

"...Autorecyclingmall.com. Phone 1-888-254-6766. They're $25.00 each, with $15.00 shipping, for a total of $65.00 ..."

Where is your sway bar young man

To install new ones im afraid you will need to do some part pulling. They are sandwiched in there pretty good. It looks like you have reasonably new Ujoints in your front drive shaft so im assuming youve taken them apart before. You will need to pull the wheel, caliper/bracket, hub/rotor and unbolt your spindle. Basically everything you would need to do to pull those drive-shafts. Its not a super difficult job depending on the condition of everything but you will need to be able to remove the nut in side the hub. Other than that socket i dont think you will need any special tools. Might be a good time to replace the smaller seal on the back side of the spindle while your there.

 

[brad050]

hmmm unfortunately I had my mechanic put the new Ujoints in when he did my shocks) But I think I can handle it [-o< /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I will take picks and let U guys know how it go's.

Where is your sway bar young man:)

Ummmmmm.....good question )

I didn't notice that lol I didn't take it off... must of been the previous owner :lol:

 

[brad050]

well... I still have my rear sway bar lol :lol:

 

[brad050]

Damit! now I need a sway bar <_<

 

[miesk5]

yo!

get the bar at a yard, but buy new Bushings

 

[brad050]

any idea if a sway bar from an 85 will fit a 89?

 

[wileec]

It should? If you wheel it leave it off. I have been without for many years and do not miss it much. Just remember that you are driving a 6000 pound brick not a Mustang and you should be fine. I am sure this will open a new debate on swaybars but there you go.

You gots a bunch of rust make sure to have a bunch of PB handy.

 

[brad050]

any one have a pic of how it should look including the holes that it mounts to? I could use an idea of how it should look >-

 

[brad050]

Looking at all the parts I need for the sway bar I have decided to just forget about that. As for the shields my mechanic told me its not really a huge deal that there not there... sense the truck will be seeing a lot of trails shit will get in there any way. What do you guys think? at $80 each if I don't need them I don't want them <_<

Everyone has there own opinion but I wouldnt worry about it unless your putting one to showroom.
