Two things:
That panhard bar on the front looks super short so there will be a lot of lateral axle movement through the travel. It's probably a good thing they did hydro steer or else bump steer would have been unavoidable.
The rest of the suspension links sure hang down low everywhere.
You guys that are against this system on technical grounds realize that on an engine that is already warm, restarting takes a trivially small effort from the starter, right? Manufacturers have even designed these systems to stop the engine at a strategic point in the stroke to make starting as...
I have a suspicion that the bronco is just so heavy that it's either putting too much friction on the rollers or flexing them so much that they just don't turn freely. Like a previous poster said, with three wheels on rollers there SHOULD have been some obvious level of wheel spin before driving...
I would really love to see if those tires from walmart actually get delivered as the right size. That price is insane and if it's true then someone really goofed up!
Man I actually bought these tires for my jeep and honestly I do like them for the most part :unsure: They weren't really my first choice but these tires are legitimately the least expensive name brand "35s" you can buy. Plus the low weight and reasonable noise levels are nice for a vehicle that...
Taller tires do not affect caster. They do however increase the trail distance, the measurement from the center of the contact patch to the steering axis. This increases stability but steering effort increases a proportional amount too. In practice though, taller tires tend to get wider...
I'm also curious why you wouldn't get the 1up with rakattach. It's essentially the same price but with a more proven track record and those things are built like a tank. Sure it doesn't have lights but that would be a really easy thing to add.
I don't have a bronco and I've never used forscan so I can only speculate, but my guess is that *IF* there is a percent error discrepancy between the the speedo and odo, then it's probably a hard coded difference and probably extremely unlikely to be adjustable by any readily available software...
You have to do the legwork. Best way to do it is on a roadtrip on a long highway or interstate and zeroing your trip odometer and starting a gps odometer at the same time. Note the mileages at the end of the drive and do the math for percent difference. You can also count mile markers but the...
I'm not saying that they are or aren't 1:1 percent errors, I don't even have a Bronco. I'm just saying that it's possible. If you've ever ridden a Japanese motorcycle from the last 20 years you'll see what I mean. They almost always come with odometers that are VERY accurate but their...
One thing to keep in mind is that speedometer and odometer accuracy are not necessarily linked 1:1. I would bet that you're odometer, with the factory installed tire size, is likely accurate to within about 2% or so. However the speedometer really doesn't need to be that accurate and can be...
If you guys will forgive me I'm gonna go off in the weeds here a little. I think it would be really interesting if someone built a longitudinal z-bar sway bar system for the bronco. "What's that?" you say... Imagine a traditional sway bar looks like this \__/ As you can see when one side goes up...
Has anyone had anymore wait list emails from morrflate? Their site says they expected to have these by early june and it's already mid june. I have a trip coming up next month so I'd like to get it as soon as possible!
I just wanted to correct a few small points here so people don't read this and parrot incorrect information.
Adding a rear sway bar actually increases the likelihood of lifting a rear wheel while cornering. Now, the bar on the rear of a bronco is probably so wimpy that this will never happen...
