What I have:
1992 Ford ranger stock 4 cylinder
Rear diff: 3.73 ratio, 7.5”, 2WD
It has bad pinion bearings and I either need to put in new bearings or put a new axle in. I could do either but am looking for a cheap easy solution (not that a bearing swap is terribly difficult, it just sounds like an axle swap is easier). If I need to I’ll swap out the bearings however I am planning to call around junk yards and see what they have in full axles.
Ideally I’d like to match the year but It is getting a little scarce. I know the later models are common, however I don’t know how easy it is to swap out for a newer axle. I have found plenty of things on swapping out to things like 8.8”s but not a lot on switching to a like a 1995 axle. I know they are similar but it sounds like there are some minor differences. How difficult would this be and what complications would arise from making a swap to a 1993-97 axle? Thanks!
