Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum. But here we go. I just acquired the 1981 Ford Bronco in the picture, and it has been in the family the last 25 years. And it has ALWAYS had steering issues. But driving it home from tn to oh yesterday, which is normally a 5 hour and a half trip, turned into a 9 hour trip. If is wasn't jumping into the right hand lane, it was jumping into the left hand lane. As of right now I do not feel its safe to drive unless its speeds lower than 35 MPH. I was reading a little bit about the tie rod flip, was thinking more of using a heim joint, but just wondering if anything else can be done, or if anyone else has had these problems. I jacked up one wheel, and I get an inch and a half to two inch play just by having all the tie rods cork screwed twisting up. I hate the wishbone design. I will modify or replace one way or another. Was thinking of something like putting in a 2000 F-150 rack and pinion or just switching to a 78-80 front axle as a last resort. Any questions or information or comments please send them to me. All help is greatly appreciated.
p.s It has 33in tires. And a 6 inch hecket thorn lift.
