This video along with the commentary below was of significant value to me (95 F150 4x4); thus, thnxs dude. Note: I am surprised by the number of ostensibly good shops that don't want to mess with the camber bushing (even if you supply same) and just want to set the toe and send you down the road!
This is such a precious truck. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
My pleasure
Very smooth straight forward video with bonus pieces of info. Thanx for that.
You were recommended to see. My wife and i share the same vehicles in your video. Very helpful. Got a 89 Ford F150 XLT Lariat 5.0 4wd and she has a 1990 Ford Bronco Custom 5.0 4wd. Your videos will certainly help me restore her truck
These trucks are great to work on.
Great video , thanks ,we are restoring a 1992 bronco
Wish i had seen this b4 changing my coils a few years ago. I didnt take the sway bar off and it was a bear getting old springs out and new ones in (using spring compressors); your method is way nicer. THe new coils (not Moogs) bulged forward and contacted the forward shocks so i had to remove them which gives the truck a very ‘wallowing’ feel on the road. Those progressive Moogs sound WAAY better to soften up the ride. Thanks for a great step-by-step. Couldn’t ask for better 👍
You do deserve a AWARD🎉
The video I’ve been eating for.
Awesome video, thanks for the part numbers too!
Starting to build my 81 Chromatic Freewheeling Bronco, will definitely buy the 1-2 inch lift springs!
Hi, I drive a 1987 F150 5litre efi. owned since 1990. It is right hand drive assembled at Ford Brisbane plant in Australia. The plant closed in 1998. I find your videos extremely helpful. Keep up the great work. Cheers from Queensland Australia. Forgot to mention it's a four speed manual or should I say three speed with granny gear.
That is a very unique truck you have.
I'm just finishing up overhauling my entire front ttb axle on my F-150. All new ball joints, u joints, spring perches, steering box, bds 2" lift and painted everything. Did some long tube headers while the spring perches were out, made it waaay easier to get at the manifold bolts through the fender.
Sounds like it’s going to be a nice truck, make sure you have a qualified professional to do the alignment, you may need camber bushings.
@@TheFixTech that bds lift comes with camber/caster bushings thankfully. An aignment will be done asap once I get everything buttoned up.
Jeff’s bronco graveyard or directly from energy suspension for the isolators… I got mine from there
I was able to get some directly from Ford, apparently they are the same as the 2010 Super Duty…
great informational video !
Ahhh the pleasures of having a rust free truck..
Great video thanks! You do a good job explaining with a nice video production value. Gotta do my 78 Bronco and think this is very similar....Thanks again
Nicely done! Quality video.
Thank you
Excellent video, Thank you.
You are welcome!
Great video short and to the point 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼I have 91 bronco
I also have a 91 bronco. Did you do this to yours? I am just learning how to do mechanical work. I'm still calling things, doeys and thingesys..
I’m doing the same thing right now but I dropped the radius arm bracket to change the bushing on that. Also I went with Moog 824
The radius arm bushings are necessary for a nice ride. I used rubber Moog bushings, you may require a Poly bushing depending on your area. I heard you may need camber bushings if you go with the taller springs.
@@TheFixTech Yeah I’ll get my truck aligned afterwards hate how my front end looks like it had a stroke.
Love,love,love the fact that you didn't use any fancy, schmancy Air or Electric Impact tools...Just plain old garden variety Hand tools...Ev'ry body ain't rich and can go out and buy $2000.00 worth of tools just to do this one job....😊😊👍👍👍!!!...
Yes! Thank you!
I recommend the Moog Springs CC820, they ride very nice and are made in USA! I have links in the description for all the parts used in the video, including the isolators I couldn't find.
What would be the factory replacement height moog coil spring for a 1993 f150 4x4 5.0 xl ?
GREAT VIDEOS DUDE,,,🙂🙂🙂👍
Thanks 👍
Nice video!!!!!!
Thanks!
I have the 1990 also
Hello! Thanks for this straight to the point video, is helping me a lot but mine is a bit different, I am installing 2 inch PRO COMP springs, and put the energy suspension spring isolator, my question is: do I need to apply grease on those isolators?? Because they are sounding very squeeky (I dont know how it writes) ??? Please help
Damnit maybe I should have got those springs I went and bought old stock springs because my lift kit springs were way too thin and stuff giving me a horrible stiff ride
Hi
Thanks for yet another great video.
When I look up the Moog coil spring CC820 as you are recommending they say “without dual shocks”. Is that right or am I misunderstanding something. You got dual shocks in the front.
Thanks again.
Did you notice handling improvment over stuff like washboard? I assume it would be much better because those progressive springs take less force to react to smaller bumps.
Yes, and my door panel screws are staying in place now. One of the best upgrades for these trucks. I was very satisfied to see my Moogs were made in USA.
Also I would like to mention if you decide to do this upgrade and choose these springs to match them with quality shock. I am running the bilstein shocks and am happy with the ride. If I had the option to redo the shocks I would go for the Fox adjustable so you can dial them in as you see fit. The bilsteins are nice but a little on the firm side.
@@TheFixTech Have you tried not running the auxiliary shock in the front? The spring/shock combo you installed is the exact one I was looking at for my '94 5.8.
I have the same bronco but in green. If I heard correctly, you said this was your personal vehicle? If so will you be doing a series on the 1990 Eddie Bauer? That would be awesome for me lol.
Yes I do have a playlist set of all the videos I have made of this truck so far on my channel. I am planning more videos to come, next topics will be about transmission, another about rear main seal, leaf springs ect… these trucks are fun to work on and especially to drive. Keep your truck running strong because they don’t make them like these anymore.
So can you tell me if all 1990 bronco's with tow package have the quad front shocks? 5.0 motor or is it only with the 5.8 ? thanks
Great job thanks. Question for you. I went with the 824 and it leveled my 94 F150. I really like the look. But I am concerned about the camber. It looks like my from wheels are tilted out. Will an alignment be able to bring them back in?
Yes, a good alignment shop can. Also moog makes a set of adjustable caster/camber bushings that allow better/easier adjustment.
Another great video! Thanks!
Did your springs settle? I'm curious. I'm unsure what springs I need.
The front end of my bronco is two inches lower than the rear. I'd like to have a more level look.
Yes, I actually found the ford isolators and installed them, I am at 35 1/8 on the front. Have you changed your rear leafs or lifted the rear? Stock rear leaf capacity is 1650. If you have stock rear springs but want a level look, go for the cc822 or 824 if you have the 5.8 quad shock.
@@TheFixTech I have the original stock leaf springs in the back. Single shock up w the 5.0 under the hood.
Thanks for responding!
I always stop what I'm doing to watch your Bronco videos.
Thanks for the video! I have a 1989 5.8L Bronco with the dual shocks and will probably be replacing the coils soon . I already have the sway bar links and will be installing those at the same time. I would like to upgrade the shocks to bilstein, do you have the part numbers for the front shocks? Thanks
Yes, I have added links in the description for the shocks. The front shocks are: 24-013284, quad are: 24-184809
@@TheFixTech Thanks
I didn't have to take my wheels off Or disassembl anything besides the actual bolt holding the spring and it's retainer
I noticed you finally secured the spring on top but for safety sake though probably should be secured first, god forbid it come out while you were compressing it, remember safety is intentional
Do you need to have a quad spring setup, I have a 6inch lift kit that only came with the 2 main shocks
It is not needed, some trucks left the factory with the one shock setup. If your truck has the auxiliary shock option I do recommend installing it since you have a 6 inch lift. It will give better stability.
I wanna know how did they feel on your test drive ??
Are billstein shocks really worth the money for ride quality? Or are ranchos and others still good
Bilsteins are by far the best, they will give a firm, controlled ride if you have the quad shock setup. You can remove the front most (auxiliary shock) for a softer ride. B6 for stock height, B8 for lifted trucks
Hey mate, I watched your video and its been very helpful. Unfortunately, the top bolt on my dual shocks continue to spin and sping. I have a vice grip at the very top and thought that would help while I try to unthread the bolt with a wrench. I've even sprayed PB Blaster. NO luck, any tips?
Top bolt holding the spring or top nut on the shock?
@@TheFixTech top nut on shock
The shocks you put in the description are for 2wd will they also work with the 4wd bronco ?
Yes, these bilsteins will work on the 4wd or 2wd version. If you truck does not have the quad shock option then be sure not to buy the aux shock
Good video fix. Hey, man, I got a 96 Bronco 5.8l xl. Would those shocks you got on you tuck would work even thou my truck only has the single ones?
Yes these shocks are perfect for the 1996 bronco. You will only need the main shocks, your truck will have a smoother ride as the “quad shock” models will be stiffer.
@@TheFixTech the main shocks which are?
@The Fix do you have a part number for them?
@@TheFixTech thanks for answering back
Do you have any videos on the front 4x4 unjoint replacement and items like that?
The u joint on the front axle shaft? I believe the whole axle can be replaced. I do have a video removing the hub assembly in my front 4x4 brake rebuilding video. You would then have to remove the knuckle and the axle will slide out.
@@TheFixTech okay sweet, thank you
Hey the fix, my front auxillary shock broke but the rest are okay. can i replace just the one coil shock with a blistien shock even thought my other suspension pieces arent by blistein?
You can but it is not recommended, you will wear out the new shock faster and cause uneven tire wear. The front auxiliary shock (the one closest to the front bumper) aren’t that important for day to day driving and can be completely removed. I know people who prefer a softer ride quality in which that will give. In any case shocks should be replaced in pairs so if you do replace the 1 shock (driver side), be sure to replace the other (passenger side) with same manufacture. You can mismatch with the front and rears, but side to side should be same shock.
@@TheFixTech okay so its my right front passenger auxiliary that's broken, I should replace the driver side front auxiliary as well is what your telling me?
Yes, and they can both be bilstein.
Will this improve ride quality?
Yes, the moog springs are progressive vs linear on the stock. Will make the ride a bit smoother. Also if you have the quad shock setup like shown, you can remove the front most shock for a softer ride as well:
@@TheFixTech yea mine is quad also. So it would be ok just to do the front shock? Do u have a recommendation for a shock that would fit?
@@TheFixTech my ride quality is horrible, so bumpy and uncomfortable
I replaced springs on a 91 bronco now the truck is bouncing .
The shocks will need replacement
@@TheFixTech I replaced them also I’m going to try longer springs
Dumb question but would these new coil springs work for the 4.9 as well? I'm not sure if the extra weight difference between the 5.0 and 4.9 would really matter. I suspect my coils are on the way out as I have new shocks and the front end is super easy to push down.
The shown coils Moog cc820 would work great but may lift your front end about 1/2 to 1 inch. For a more factory height the Moog cc818 would be the better option.
