1990 Bronco II steering knuckle

[Guisinger]

Does anyone know if there are any compatible steering knuckles I can use to replace my old ones. I have a 1990 Bronco II 4x4 with a Dana 35. My current steering knuckles are pretty rusty and I want swap them out

Knuckles should be the same for any D-35, which means 1990 Bronco II, 1991-1994 Explorer, and 1990-1997 Ranger with a 4.0, although the 3.0 got a hybrid axle which had D-35 beams and knuckles, but the inner axle shafts are necked down to D-28 splines in the diff because there is D-28 guts in there. Not sure what year they stopped that, if they did.

Perfect, thanks this is helpful

You should know that 95-97 Ranger had different brakes and steering stops. They do work, just have to get everything and you lose the steering stops. (Could be dangerous I guess if you turn the wheel too far while rolling? I haven't had a problem.)

Interesting. I don’t think steering stops are too much of a problem, I’ve actually been thinking of welding a small plate on my axle beams for a stop.

I haven't had steering stops since I put the D35 in. *Checks notes. August 11th 2014
