Default Dual Axle...

I have brought new life to a 1996 Ford Bronco EB (Eddie Bauer) by using a lot of parts from a broken down 1997 F-150 that I could salvaged

I have been experimenting with a concept I have been trying to bring to reality, zero point turn or more realistically "Dual Axle" turning. But I have hit a problem, What would I need to cause the rear wheels to turn either in the opposite direction or the same direction as the front axle?

so i would like some advice from my fellow Fords on how I can make my "Trail Monster" possible

Thank you

Google "rear steer".

Basically you will need a hydraulic system to control the rear steer as well as an axle that can steer.
Get ready to spend some money.

BTW, dual axle is something totally different. A semi truck has a dual rear axle (2 axles on the rear of the truck).

Basically you would need a complete custom rear differential and a hydraulic system to control it..

How does that work with the front axle having a off set gear housing and your drive shaft being in the center.

Could also look into a older Denali rear axle that had rear steer.
