What to Know About 1984 Ford Bronco Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Ford Bronco, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Bronco. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Bronco maintenance. Just follow your 1984 Ford Bronco maintenance schedule!

Ford knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Bronco running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1984 Ford Bronco problems.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Ford Bronco

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1984 Ford Bronco and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Bronco's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1984 Ford Bronco be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Ford Bronco battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Ford Bronco won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1984 Ford Bronco engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1984 Bronco. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1984 Ford Bronco? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Ford Bronco steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, perform Ford Bronco suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Ford Bronco's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Ford Bronco maintenance, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Ford Bronco cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Ford Bronco? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 1984 Ford Bronco maintenance and repairs.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Ford Bronco? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When does my Ford Bronco need high mileage oil? Do you have more than 75,000 miles on your Ford Bronco? If so, request to switch to high mileage oil at your next oil change. This type of oil is specially formulated to keep aging engine parts in the best possible condition.
  •  Why are my Ford dashboard lights on? It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Ford Bronco, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light
