I am no longer a bronco ownerā¦ā¦this is true. I bought new and had it for just more than a year. The cam phasers worked perfectly after a splash of nano lubricant. No worries thereā¦..zero.
By far the most fun vehicle to drive i have owned.

Iāll be watching to see if any issues come up. My cam phasers are still quiet. Next oil...
