The diff also struck… 1993 Ford Bronco - The core support isn't badly damaged, so I'll just straighten it before installing another fender. 1993 Ford Bronco - It took a few hours with some big pry bars & wood blocks, but the core support straightened out pretty well. 1993 Ford Bronco - It took a few hours with some big pry bars & wood blocks, but it came out pretty good. 1993 Ford Bronco - I finally found a useable axle beam from a '93 F150, but its pivot bushing was in worse shape than the Bronco's, so I installed a new one.… 1993 Ford Bronco - I had to strip the pickup axle anyway to swap on the Bronco (4WABS) knuckle.
