LOL
You -reeeeally- want to know? LOL
Anyone else hear the BS spewing and feel it being flung by the tail yet? LOL

BTW, I've never really driven my '91 Bronco other than when using Vise-Grips
to steer it into place to tow it or to park it where I was going to put it up on
blocks. Because the sorry-#& tilt steering setup was broken. Took about two
months to get a title and didn't want to invest any money in it until I "owned"
it so that was lost time but "had" it since April of '09.
