1987 Ford Bronco Maintenance

Take care of your Ford Bronco and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Bronco. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Bronco, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1987 Ford Bronco!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Ford, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Bronco running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1987 Ford Bronco problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1987 Ford Bronco for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Bronco’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1987 Ford Bronco. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Bronco may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Ford Bronco battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Bronco stranded. Your Ford Bronco could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1987 Ford Bronco running newer, longer. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 1987 Bronco, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1987 Ford Bronco.

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.

If you fall behind on routine Ford Bronco maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally!
