Hi,

I'm in desperate need of 2WD knuckles/spindles. One of my knuckles is bent and spindles seen a better days as they have marks of angle grinder surgery :) Anyway, from the online research I see new ones are unobtanium and to make things worse I'm located in Poland, which eliminates junkyard run because Rangers here are pretty exotic cars. How do you think - what options do I have to sort it out ?
Best Regards,
Jeremy.
 
Youll probably have to find a set on ebay in the states and have them imported.

You can try www.car-part.com its a search engine for junkyard parts. Maybe youll find a yard willing to send them that far.
 
If you know someone that lives over here, they could buy some for you from www.car-part.com and then they could send them to you. A lot of yards on car-part will ship to somewhere in the states.

Thanks, I wish I got the notification about your reply earlier - now I ordered them through ebay paying twice as much :(
Now, I stared to think that my passenger side i-beam is from the different vehicle - maybe F150 or similar. It's almost an inch longer and does not have a hole ford the camber adjustment pinch bolt as on the drivers side. Can you guys verify that from the images below ?

The 2 axles are different lengths. There is an article somewhere that explains why. I will try to find it and update my post.
Edit; couldn't find it. To other members that may know; I was looking for an article that had a diagram with a top down view showing the orientation of the axles and radius arms pivot points.

I dont think an F150 beam would even fit a ranger.

OK, but how about pinch bolts ? Shouldn't it be there on passenger side too ?

Sure, that was just a wild guess from my side
 
Yes , it should have pinch bolts . Just went out and looked at my parts truck .
