Replying to: fighterguy211 (Jan 23, 2008 12:40 pm) You prob. have this type of Hub; Flange-style Manual Hub Parts Break-Out Diagram, used only on 87 & early 88 F150s & Broncos by Steve83 http://www.supermotors.net/clubs/superford/vehicles/registry/media/470240 This was a change by Ford that didn't last long; so you may have prob.s finding new parts. Some info for you: 11.3 How come the hubs on my 87-88 Bronco are different than other Broncos? This was another of Ford's better ideas. For '87 and '88 Ford used a one-piece locking hub assembly. This hub simply sits between the wheel and brake rotor and is held in place by the wheel studs. This type of hub is very easy to remove (simply remove the wheel), but it is different from all other Broncos and therefore parts and replacement hubs are expensive and hard to find. To convert your 87-88 Bronco to the "standard" hubs you'll need to swap all the parts from the spindle out from a Bronco or F-150. It may even be possible to take these parts from any vehicle with a Dana 44 front axle and the same wheel bolt pattern as the Bronco (5 on 5.5"). If you are considering this swap it would be a good time to consider the 8 lug axle swap you've always wanted (see section 10.2). 10.2 Can I put 8 lug rotors on the front of my Bronco? 8 lug rotors (and larger axles and hubs) can be installed in 78-79 Broncos. The axle housing on 78-79 Bronco and F-150 Dana 44's are similar to the Dana 44's used on F-250's. To install the 8 lug rotors from an F-250, you need to swap everything from the knuckle out as well as the axle shafts themselves. This is a super strength upgrade from the stock axles, and also gives you bigger brakes. The jury is still out on 8 lug upgrades for TTB axles from 80-96 Broncos. Some people have done the swap, but it required making spacers for the ball joints because the 5 lug TTB Dana 44 knuckles are smaller than the "regular" Dana 44. It's a good idea to do the rear axle at the same time and upgrade the master cylinder to match your new brakes. GL! our New Bronco Tech Links Site; http://www.broncolinks.com/index.php?index=1 |

I have an 1980 Ford Bronco. The battery will not stay charged. I have put a new altanator on it and a new voltage regulator on it. After doing this I found a short in the wiring and fixed the problem. But the battery still wont stay charged. I have done the test of pulling the battery off to see if it will still stay running without the battery but it won't. It runs great until the battery runs out of juice. I need help! If anyone has any ideas for me to try please let me know.
