1986 ttb problem

[muddyjack]

Anybody got any tips on how to make the ttb on my Bronco track the best it can? Its running now and when I turn a corner on the street the inside front wheel toes in severely to where it is about rubbing sidewall to street. Its got the 6" skyjacker springs but I'm not sure if the track bar(radius arm) mounts are made for this spring. I am going to try replacing the bushings between the track bars(radius arms) and the the mounts and then tighten it all real good. Any help? Thanx

oh man....welcome to the club. Check everywhere for cracks or anything loose etc. this is the battle that sends so many on the SAS route.

[Shaggy]

i had similar problems when i first lifted mine... i cant remember what it was though

[StevenAg03]

you say you have 6" springs but do you have the 6" drop brackets for the radius arms and TTB frame mounts?

Since I am the self proclaimed TTB master ASE Tech I got a few questions for yeah.

Do you have the the right drop down brackets for the TTB arms? These are the brackets under the engine. The radius arms drop downs only really adjust the camber of the axle. That would not cause your problem to happen.
Also the TTB does some really weird crap sometime.

[william_ace]

the lift he has is tates old lift, jordans old bronco.

I almost got killed by a radius arm drop bracket helping Will tear that parts bronco apart. It seriously almost knocked me out. **** TTB.

[william_ace]

hahaha yeah that was a pretty big bump on your head.

[colman]

it is sitting at my house right now, if someone has spare time and can come over to villa maria and texas they can see for themselves i'm not sure how much a pic will do but i can get one in the morning once it is light if yall want

[Shaggy]

the brackets are all right... it is my old kit

[muddyjack]

Thanks for that thread Robert, I didn't know there was a build up on here. The suspension is the same way that Jordan left it. The thing just needed a new engine(351), matching computer, and about 7 lbs of deer corn released from the exhaust. This front end stuff is the only thing that is holding me back from being set. Is it the radius arms or does it need lower radius arm mounts or something? Can anybody (who knows anything) advise me or meet me at Colman's to figure this out. Jordan, are there any tricks? Don't worry, I'm not mad at you, you can answer my calls. :gigem:

ok I was wondering about those. The front is lacking shocks which probably doesn't help. I have some bilsteins waiting for it(thanx Will) but the coils hit the front dual shock. Is the lift not compatible with dual shocks?

[Shaggy]

it is compatible... dont know why they hit

[Sharpe]

How the hell did corn get in the exhaust?

jordan was trying to pop it

[agjohn02]

ah, i got it. he ran some e85 through it.

[william_ace]

field mice put it there, crazy huh. jack i'll come look at it tomorrow, im no expert but i may be able to help.

TTB sucks anyway. Thats why i got rid of mine

[william_ace]

jack we'll pull that ttb out and put a solid axle in its place

[muddyjack]

O sounds good! U buyin? :flipoff2:

[william_ace]

sure, why the hell not

[uglyota]

yep, cut it out, add a front crossmember and SAS. Don't let Seth scare you, it's not supposed to take 2 years :flipoff2:

[Seth]

SAS it - eric is right.

[muddyjack]

I will when I get the money for it. I need to make the ttb work for now. I am going to try taking it to a good alignment shop. The shock on the driver side still will not go on. Anybody want to weld my exhaust for a case of beer? :gigem:

[AggieTJ2007]

you got the welder?

[william_ace]

i dont think he does

[muddyjack]

Nope I don't, that is part of the problem. Jordan said he would do it but his welder is down for a while :confused:

[Shaggy]

i will be in town i can do it thursday... you can even drink the beer yourself if you will help me put my balljoints in and clear out the shop a little

i can give you hand if you need one in the afternoon

[muddyjack]

That would be great, but it depends on when my race bullet(muffler) comes in. I'm willing to help anyway though. give me a call when want to do it, 210-872-8816 thanx

[Shaggy]

i wont have interweb access when i am in town... so you will need to call me if you want help

I never drove it on tha street much. If u are planing on it u might want 2 replace the bushing in the contol arms and maybe but some anti-sway bars back on it(it has none on the front or back).

also make sure all the spring retaining stuff is tight.

all u need for the shocks is the rear ones, the front ones just limit u.

Yea I'm going to do a little cruising with it. I'll try and replace the bushings soon. Everyone on fsb.com says to take the swaybars off anyways, I guess they don't much for these broncos. As for the shocks I bought all the bilstein's off of Will's rolled bronco. The dual shock setup makes the truck handle a lot better and I am getting a good alignment on friday. It will be pretty drivable then, because it is bearable now. I need to get the ****in tires balanced also. :(
