FORD Death Wobble

Looks like Ford has its own wobble. I had a Toyota 4-Runner that would shake when I got up to 65.


Another uninformed take based on pure ignorance.

Article is on the Superduty pickups, which have a SOLID AXLE in front. Bronco does not. No relationship whatsoever. Might as well post an article about Pinto gas tanks too.

Raptor Bronco is the only way

They’re fun. I almost bought one but couldn’t justify decommissioning my GX with under 100k miles. But I still might in the near future.

Designed without enough room for the 5.0 V-8.

They could have named their price for that.

If I could get my hands on an 88 bronco, I’d be happy.

They would have had to, because the EPA would have been naming their price on fines and gas guzzler taxes. Sadly, that's the world we live in.

My son has a first edition. It has been completely trouble free. Not one repair. 2021 model.

It has been done, but it’s over 100k.

That’s a little high but with how popular the early Bronco’s have gotten there are some real POS on eBay for $20k.

I’m slowly getting an unrestored 76 back to road worthy after sitting for many years and it’s been quite a challenge. Engine is good but it’s an electrical nightmare.

The driver's side is slightly off track, and it doesn't drop a little upon opening/closing. And I've tried resetting numerous times.


Try this:

Turn on engine.
Open driver door (or whatever door has window issue)
Hold the window up switch for the open door. Keep it held until the window resets - it usually slightly bumps to the “top” position and the retracts to the “slight gap with the door open” position.

I find this method is more reliable for setting the window track long term.
