I did it at the shop between customers, probably in and out in about an hour if left alone. That doesn't include the run time to get her warm and check/add as necessary

Its is a good idea to do all three but I haven't felt like crawling back under the rig. My time has been spent chasing under boost issues in a common rail VW here recently.

I was hoping hauling a load of equipment would do the trick but it reached 185 at its peak. I will give this a try the next go around, I appreciate the tip.

Seems ok for a plastic pan. The few dorman parts I have personal experience with have given me zero issues, being a 6.0 transmission cooler and up pipes for a 7.3 excursion with well over 100k on them. I did lay it against the OEM pan to verify it fits true. Before install. My biggest...

50k miles. I'm a firm believer in 50k transmission services, 25k if towing. Dropping the pan isn't difficult on a non sas model with 4 inches of lift and 35s. No lift or jacking needed, plenty of room on a creeper. Drop the front non quick disconnecting sway bar. Pull the four...

Another thread was started here about a month ago for front wheel bearing failure. Between Facebook and Reddit there are another half dozen, nearly all with sub 50k miles . I joined here in hopes of possibility finding an upgrade I couldn't find during my Google search. Luckily it's an easy...

Unfortunately I don't see a way to disassemble these wheel hubs without cutting. If anyone knows a secret please fill me in. If I could pull it apart to get bearing dimensions I could then see if I could rebuild an OEM hub/housing with some heavier duty bearings The lip on the backside of...

I feel like this thread has been completely side tracked. Many bronco owners have experienced extremely premature front wheel bearing failure, even on stock wheels. While these wheels do set past the fender flairs I wouldn't classify them as aggressively offset compared to many of the set ups...

Are the guys running 37-40 inch tires replacing the wheel bearings with every scheduled oil change?

The bronco is a hub centric wheel mating surface. The fuel wheels that came on the bronco have too large of a hub opening for the (93 mm iirc) bronco hub so they rely on the lugs/wheel studs to hold the wheel centered. It's not ideal. It works but could be a safety concern/premature tire...

Got under the rig today. The lift is the top hat style welded spacers. Likely RC if ordered along with the side steps. Not a smoking gun for bearing failure as it provides 2 inches of lift and the upper control arms installed allow for proper alignment geometry. Went ahead and replaced...

Not even an abs hole to apply grease on these. Hand packed wheel bearings were a messy job but on vehicles like the 1st Gen IFS 4 runner were never a common failure item. 35 inch tires destroyed your little 7.25" differential and your stock idler arm. A pita to do a brake job as you have to...

It is unfortunately a wheel bearing. While I'm 90% sure it's the same drivers side again, I won't be 100% until I get it to the shop and in the air tomorrow. There no mistaking the roar of a bad/failing wheel bearing. timkin will be my next purchase. I did strongly consider them but some...

According to the dealership the alignment was fine. She does drive very well down the freeway at 65-70 with one hand. It's not often a lifted rig rides better than our 1st Gen IFS 4 runner but I was impressed with the comfort. I will double check the lift but if she is lifted it's going to...

I need to get a wheel off to measure but I'm pretty sure these are wheels on the bronco. I drove the excursion today so I cannot verify until I get it to the shop on Saturday

While i agree added offset does put extra strain on the suspension/steering components, a 35x12.50 all terrain shouldnt wear anything nearly as quickly as someone running a 37" tire running minimum offset for clearance. I ,personally, am not a fan of the fuel wheels, I'd have gone with stock...

My new (to me) 2022 black diamond came with a small lift, 35x12.5x20 wheels and a good bit of offset that would make it illegal in most states without some huge fender flares/mud flaps I took possession at 45,xxx miles. Within the first 1000 miles the wheel bearing on the RF went out. A month...

I was assuming i was having wheel bearing issues. My oscillating hum became a constant hum on the freeway one morning and told the dealership i was assuming it was the wheel bearing. They swapped it out under warrant and sent me on my way. I have no idea if they actually examined the wheel...

Are there any aftermarket wheel bearings that have been an improvement over that of OEM? i'm right at 47,000 miles on a black diamond with too much (for me) negative offset 35x12.50x20 AT tires. They came with the vehicle, look nice and brand new tires. just had one hub done under warranty...
