Bronco II rocking badly on freeway

Post by Colin »

As I drive my 86 Bronco II on the freeway it starts rocking from side to side so badly at certain places on the freeway that I have to slow down or it will roll on me. I am sure there is a sway bar on it but maybe what I think is a sway bar is not. Any suggestions??? Maybe sway bars have nothing to do with such rocking......I don't know. Just a dummy. Would really appreciate any help with this 'cause my wife simply hates driving anywhere in it with me. She is scared stiff.

worn springs in the front, leaf springs in the back, shocks/struts. Sway bar may need new bushings.

If you can't check that stuff out yourself, take it to a shop.

My b2 calmed down DRASTICALLY after I put new tires on it. Felt like a boat before.
