There are no screws showing on the stereo or around it. Thanks for your help!

Q: How to increase gas mileage of a Ford Bronco?
I was thinking of getting a Ford Bronco seeing as my last car was just totaled. I love everything about the Bronco. I think they're awesome, and so does anybody I ask about them. They say they're reliable, and that they last a long time. The thing is, I know it gets horrible gas mileage. What mods can I do to make mileage better? I know exhaust systems increase mpg, and so do headers, especially because the Bronco's have very restrictive headers. What else can I do to increase the mileage? And is bad mileage as bad as people say it is?

A: your best bet is HyperMiling, coast as much as possible..

Q: How to tighten the steering on an 85 Ford Bronco?
I have an 85 ford bronco and i was wondering if there was a way to tighten the steering. Ive noticed that it has a lot of play and it gets really annoying.

A: There's a big bolt on the steering box that can be tightened. You need to loosen the locknut and turn the center bolt or screw a little bit at a time. Make sure there's grease in the box and don't over tighten it or the box will wear out very quickly. You may want to read that section of a service manual if you don't own one.

Q: How much should i offer for a classic ford bronco?
I am buying my first car and i really like my friends ford bronco(not bronco 2). and my parents know som1 who owns one that might be interested in selling it. and he said make him a offer so how much should i first offer(remember its a classic). and wats the average MPG on a classic bronco

A: The value of an old Bronco (if you're calling it a "classic" I'm assuming it's a '66-'77) can vary a lot depending on condition, mileage and options: $6,000-$17,000. Gas mileage is going to vary just as much depending on the engine and how it's been treated, but don't expect much. If you really love and want it and can afford it I'm sure it would be worth it to get it, but I would never by a classic to use as a daily driver, especially as a first car. It would be a shame to put a lot of mileage and wear and tear and abuse on any classic vehicle.
