BRONCO SEVERE DUTY STEERING UPGRADE KIT now available from Ford Performance Parts!

[orion]

I don’t really care about a warranty, when doing things other than put putting on the street, shouldn’t expect much outside of electrical issues, since a customer usually won’t cause those things. Yes, some part changing and mods will, but not most.

For $1300, this makes me have questions. I see it includes an upgraded motor, and is it also that outside casing that looks like, well, don’t know, but I know it’s weak on the stock. Tie rods look ok with that bend, to deflect some force, but not sure if they’re beefier than say the ICON.

I’m wanting the 74Weld, full stage 3, but it’s $5K, but I need that before going crazy at Windrock, but I’m years away from $5K.

My question to you and @BigMeatsBronco and @flip , is in your opinion (know you‘re just seeing it as well), but I trust you guys more than any others (no offense, just years of these guys and they’re pros). Do you think this may be a solid upgrade that should at least buy me some time to do more rock obstacles, or should I wait until I can afford the full 74Weld?

I know 74Weld has a stage 1 that is great, but it’s that end cap and not a motor; that’s stage 2, which costs a lot more.

For $1300 and dealer instal, I think this sounds good to maybe buy me time.

I think that’s a difficult question to answer and probably one that more than a few people are trying to consider.

But I think if you’re still years away from obtaining the stage 3 74weld setup that you’d really like, then this would be a good upgrade for the time being.

If you haven't already done either the BroncBuster or Rough Country steering rack bushings, buy the Rough Country kit. Keep saving your money. Buy once, cry once. The 74 weld is going to be your end goal so why waste $1300+ to possibly avoid disaster on the trail. I've done some pretty hard wheeling and have no issues as of yet. @popo_patty put a tremendous load on his steering rack when he hit the berm and his was still in great condition. I say, save your money, don't upgrade your tie rods, keep them as your fuse, have spares with you and when you have the money, buy what you really want!

Hmmmm... says that Badlands with no Sasquatch isn't compatible. I think that's only for the 4 door? So this would work on my 2 door badlands non sas? Would be a cheaper option than broncbuster or 74 weld upgrades at this point.

This is standard HOSS 3/4 stuff. People call it HOSS 3 steering rack, but it could be called HOSS 4. Extreme Duty is what it is. Standard on BRaptors/Wildtrak's from 2022.5-2024.

LAST WEEK MY DEALER ORDERED THE STEERING RACK FOR ME THEY ONLY HAD 3 AVAILABLE. Will be installed at the beginning of May after having installed my summer tires with 0 offset METHOD and doing alignment. total price = $4012.37 with taxes CDN.

Clarification: Was the $4012.37 just for the rack plus labor or was there more to it? What is that in real money?

I forgot the dealer accepts that I pay with my credit card so I have a discount on my card of 3% for the sum of 120.37. so the final net price is = 4012.37$ - 600.00$ core - 120.37$ = $3,292.00 CDN

you'll never need Bronc buster junk. His compycat blocks are NOT required for 3.0 tie rods. don't waist yer $$$.

haha....I've actually had his tie rod Blocks for quite some time and have NEVER broken a rod.....while others around me have It works. I'll give it that! But yes - I will sell them when I get this upgrade done!

This just allows Ford Service to install steering racks while adding another $750 to the install. Who wants to be the first one to see what doesn't work afterwards? Ford Performance has zero technical assistance for bronco parts.

Rather stick with FDRS and Forscan than some limited feature option through ProCal.

If you can't tell I am serious unimpressed with ProCal and my m210 swap.

Hm......judging by your profile pic......are you a member of Sin City Broncos?

Wow that’s a great price! I got 74weld stage 1 + foutz tie rods and it cost $2 grand. This also includes beefed up steering gear.

I was thinking along the same lines. I just got the Icon tie rods, but have not installed them. Was thinking of doing stage 1 fro 74weld, but this new option has me wondering...It's the Braptor steering system upgrade we likely all want. BUT...also have to pay for the Pro-Cal ($825, but you can then do the performance tune and whatever else Pro-Cal gets you), and likely pay Ford for the install. It will add up quickly. I wish they were selling this rack upgrade itemized, so you could add or remove the tie rods.

First time I’ve seen this. Only took them 2 years to offer it.

Should be a damned recall not an upgrade.
