Have a 78 Bronco with seized shocks. Will have to get Richard under it to see what else he can find. Man the front is stiff won’t move at all. My back is out, we got T-boned Saturday an they let me out of the hospital yesterday. Looks like 5he trac bar is frozen too. Richard will figure it out.

I hope ppl R not damaged. Equip is another thing.
I think 'froze shock pistons' simply means they R at one or the other (extension/collapse) and have weight on them so as to not flex.

'richard will figure it out'. Do Not start wrenchin on it till insur adjuster has looked at the vehicle. By law must do so w/in just several days after accident, not several wks.

Holy smokes! I hope everyone is ok!
Could be just one stuck shock holding the whole thing up. I've had that before!
Good luck with it!
Cheers

Mike, you might want to check the front shocks---they are different lengths
