What???? You had a Widtrak with portal axles? Okay.... But you were running 35s???? With Portals??? Rather unusual but okay...The Bronco’s advantage for ground clearance is the use of portal axles as opposed to the beam axles on the Grenadier.
I think my Wildtrak had a whopping 7 or 8 inches more clearance on 35’s vs the 33’s on my Grenadier.
Although, the Bronco’s portal axles can lend to some severe leverages and may be a factor in the frequent tie rod issues we hear about. I’ll leave that to the engineers.
What Portals were you running? And as far as frequent tie rod issues.... They are are not frequent... You probably hear about every single one but they typically have NOTHING to do with portals. That is because VERY few people have broncos with portals. I would guess less than 50 in the entire US. (other than the racers)
Something is just not sounding right here.
