Well I'm just a couple months shy of 4 years bronco ownership, and I'm finally joining the cracked hard top club. these are both right at the rear window hinges, caught this while I was putting my starlink on the roof this morning. guess i'll keep an eye on these and see what happens...

trail turn assist, it's pointless and just tears up the trails. (fun on ice) goat modes - also pointless. But i also learned how to drive a stick shift when i was like 10, so i don't need computer help lol.

my dealer had to put gas in mine once after i demanded they look at the gawd awful transmission shifting on the 10 speed lol!

if only there was a neighboring state that didn't have silly laws :p:ROFLMAO:🤐

i top off every single time i fill up. and it's been 100-105, no problems at all. been topping off since the day i brought the bronco home almost 4 years ago.

28 psi on 37s unloaded (verified by chalk). 30-32 fully loaded.

next time you've got the tires off just slap a torque wrench on it and send it!!

actually i've got more information now, those may look like hammer marks but they're not. he put the aftermarket springs on and never pulled that lower nut off, just pulled the upper and leaned the knuckle out to swap springs. so it was indeed "as-installed by ford" on the lower ball joint...

so then what we've got here is a failure to replace the one time use lower balljoint nuts, and/or torque them to the required spec. good info!!

scarry stuff especially after i got movement out of mine too.

yeah just going off what i was told but you have a valid point there.

i just finished torquing all my stuff. my upper 3 nuts on the shock tower got about 1/4 turn out of. upper ball joint is uniball on mine and tight, no movement. tie rods tights, sway bar tight, lower ball joint 1/4 turn out of drivers side, 1/8 turn out of passenger side before they got back...

torquing things now, got 1/4 turn out of my lower ball joint nut drivers side before it clicked at 85 pounds.

i'm about to put torque wrench to everything on my bronco just to see what/if anything moves. hopefully nothing.

so then maybe if they were on there, they were not torqued right and was actually able to ratchet themselves off. vehicle was not making any noise at all, been on a few trips and one was multi-day, only noise was when it let go. loud bang followed by rapid drop in passenger side height, at a...
