I recently wrecked my Bronco and did a bit of damage to the front axle assembly(alot of damage actually). anyway does anyone know if the whole front axle assembly from a 1987 will fit on my 1990?

Should. That time frame was 87-91 when very little changes were made. You should be good to go..however someone else hsould chime in to confirm.

Heh. Not much of a story to tell. I was messing with my stereo whilst driving and drifted into oncoming traffic. That's the story I was told anyhow. I never even touched my brakes or realized that I was drifting over and all of a sudden BAM!! Even right after the wreck I didn't know what happened because I was on top of the other vehicle and couldn't see it. It wasn't until I tried to put my truck in park and instead went into reverse and backed off her car that i realized what happened. The throttle was stuck about 3/4 open so when it went into reverse it shot backwords off her car and across the road. Thankfully no one was hurt.

oh wow lol

well it's not as bad as this: My brother from another mother, saw this GORGEOUS chick (she was gorgeous, I knew of her, seen her many times) and he just HAD to have her number. So they were in decent traffic..he thought he'd just tap her bummper so they'd have to pull over and he could work the charm we've been born with, and get her number and date her. Well he ripped off her back bumper, smashed in her tailgate/trunk, and shatterd her back window. Needless to say he didn't get the love tap he was hopping for :lol:

At least you an everyone else was okay. Learn from our mistakes don't we ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Still boggles my mind how Police departments expects its officers to use laptops in their patrol vehicles and still maintain a safe driving standard. And yet the public can't talk on their cellphones while driving. Boggles my mind. But if you can't beat em, join em. B)

Somewhere around 94 thru 96 the steering knuckle is different as in the caliper mounting they have the sliding shoulder bolts rather than the rubber filled wedge on the older ones . Make sure you get all the parts :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

thanks for all the help. are the 87-early 88 the least desirable because of the manual aspect or what?

also i noticed that on my truck i've got dual shocks on either side and alot of the front ends i look at have only one shock and the springs on mine seem to be quite a bit more heavy duty than most. Why would this be?
