My wife and I purchased a 1990 bronco ii and have been experiencing excessive vibration through out the chassis. Having spent considerable time and money, we have come to find out that the drive shaft on this vehicle was a defective design by ford and that when attempting to purchase a new one, the only response we can get is "discontinued item" and verbally "due to design flaw. We're concerned that this could lead to further problems and the possibility of handling failure. There are no service bulletins or recalls on this item to the best of our knowledge.
