1986 Ford Bronco II review from North America
"Great 4x4"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering fluid leaks, sagging springs, and the starter is starting to go.
Shaky around turns.
Engine ticking.
Needs new exhaust.
Problem with the alternator.
Wiring needs to be redone.
General comments?
I love my vehicle. Just put a lift on it. Will be replacing many parts soon.
4 wheel drive gets me through anything, even the stuff that my friends in their big trucks can't get through or up.
Will hopefully be putting in a 302 soon when this engine dies with the help of my brother.
Love the look of it, never had any serious problems with it, in fact my sister just bought an 85 Bronco II and loves it.
