    1986 ttb problem

    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

    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.

    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.

    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?
