Finally fixed park pawl and am back to the steering issue. I have.been working on my lifted wrangler and have learned a bit about steering geometry. This ranger has what seems to be a 4" lift and 33's. As mentioned it pulls to the right and wheel has to be held at all times. While driving I...

Update: Took truck to local trans shop and it's Fixed!!! Turns out the parking pawl pin was bent and binding pawl. Shop said someone probably slammed it into park while rolling. New pin installed and total repair cost $220.00

Thanks for the suggestion.

My 94 Ranger 4.0, AT, 4x4 shifts fine and goes through all gears park thru 1 at column. Only problem is it rolls in park. First thing I checked because my gear indicatort's not working was the torx screws on steering column which is a common problem.(Google it...there are plenty of write ups)...

Anyone? Hoping to get this ordered by tomorrow. Thanks

Pretty sure my pawl or actuator rod is broke. I finally have it scheduled to fix at local shop. Guy said he rarely sees them broken and it's usually a pin on centering rod or broken rod as I learned on this forum a while back. In order to be ready for my appointment in 10 days I'd like to order...

I have a 94 ranger 4x4. It had manual hubs and I don't know if they were original. Since getting the truck I replaced the locking mechanism with warn locking hubs. Anyway, I'm going to replace the bearings on both sides. I need the large socket with teeth to remove the spindle lock nut. Does...

I just noticed the pivot bracket inner sleeve is 1/4" thick. I did weld for a living years ago and this bracket is no home brew. Some company made it but I doubt I'll ever know who. The tight fit and perfect edges/ bends following the factory bracket would have to be computer controlled.

Yesterday I thought the driver's side axle beam pivot(on passenger side) was a factory bracket with just a frt and back tab shoved up on the inside. I took a closer look today and it's a very well made inner sleeve...top to bottom frt and back. It also has a tubular support from front to back...

I think the passenger side bracket looks pretty normal but I agree about driver's side bracket. Looks like it was a 3" drop bracket and someone rigged another 2" section at bottom for a total 5" as previous owner stated. I'll get a better look at stamp and extension tomorrow and post what I find.

I decided to do a search on axle pivot drop brackets and found quite a few that look like mine. Makers were skyjacker, rough country, dick cepek and a few others. I see in my pics that driver's side bracket has a stamp. I'll check tomorrow. Probably says polaris

Oh...I thought the springs have it the lift and drop down items were to enable proper movement and angles of stuff. As mentioned though I'm a newb. I added some more pics of plates and extenders...they look factory but I don't kno

Have a 94 ranger 4x4, AT, 4.0, 5" susp. Lift. Was looking at videos on replacing radius arm bushings. Looked tough especially if riveted. Took a look at mine and just bolts and what looks to be a radius drop bracket. Looks like it will make replacing bushing fairly easy???Here are some pics do...
