Frequently Asked Questions

What steering column options are available for the early Ford Bronco?

Early Bronco steering column options include OEM-style replacement columns, tilt columns from Flaming River and other manufacturers. Tom's Offroad carries both stock-replacement and upgraded columns for the 1966–1977 Bronco. A tilt column is one of the most popular comfort upgrades as it allows better adjustment to suit different driver heights.

How do I replace the steering column on an early Ford Bronco?

Replacing an early Bronco steering column involves disconnecting the turn signal wiring, removing the steering wheel, unbolting the column from the dash support bracket, and disconnecting the lower coupling from the steering box input shaft. Installation is the reverse process. Take photos of all wiring connections before disassembly to simplify reassembly.

Can I install a tilt steering column in an early Ford Bronco?

Yes, tilt column conversions are one of the most popular early Bronco upgrades. Companies like Flaming River make direct-fit tilt columns for the early Bronco that use the factory mounting locations and include a wiring harness adapter for the ignition and turn signals. The tilt function adds meaningful comfort for taller or shorter drivers who find the stock column position awkward.

What other steering columns are compatible with an early Ford Bronco?

Beyond direct-fit reproductions and purpose-built aftermarket columns, some builders adapt steering columns from other Ford vehicles using modification kits. The column must be matched in length and lower coupling configuration to work with the early Bronco's steering box input shaft. Ididit and Flaming River are the most common aftermarket column brands for this application.

Why is my early Bronco steering column loose?

A loose early Bronco steering column is typically caused by worn column support bushings, loose mounting bracket hardware, or a worn lower coupling between the column and steering box. Inspect the column support clamp at the dash, the upper and lower column bushings, and the rag joint or U-joint at the steering box. Replacing worn bushings and tightening all hardware usually resolves excessive column movement.
