Thank you in advance for your help! 2010 Ford Ranger 2WD (2.3L) Previous owner was in moderate front end collision on driver's side (per carfax). When I purchased the vehicle (in 2021 at 30k miles) it had a slight shake in the steering wheel, especially between 60-75mph. I ignored this for...

I wanted a truck camper for my 2wd 09 ranger. Few campers are available for small trucks, and those that exist are extremely expensive. I decided to create my own using full size truck caps. The full budget of the project was $150. I drew the design, photoshopped the design, then acquired the...

Hello! I will be doing a junkyard run soon, and one of the main things on my list are thicker swaybars. I have plans for autocross so I need to eliminate a lot of body roll. My truck originally had no rear bar, but I pulled a rear swaybar off a B3000 and it fit without issues. The B3000 rear bar...

MY 1996 XLT shakes excessively on bumpy gravel roads when hitting bumps and holes. It almost feels as if my sedan is a smoother ride. Could my shocks be completely blown ? The worst shaking seems to be from the back and those shocks do seem to be the original ones from 1996. The front shocks...

Hey there, I'm about to replace my front and rear shocks, coil springs and leafs springs. I was just wondering what else I should replace while I'm down there. Bushings(which ones)? Nuts? U bolts?

Hello, please help? The radius arm snapped driving through DC one day. I ordered a new radius arm, through rockauto. It does not fit. From the sticker on the Axle, it identifies as a Dana28 Has this happened to anyone else? Can anyone recommend a radius arm that would fit? Photos attached

My 2004 2wd Edge no longer sits up level (or close to level) like a 4x4 as it should. I started to notice this after the engine was replaced a few years ago. It has gradually sagged lower. Looking at it from the side, it looks higher in the back and lower in the front. It used to sit level. I...

Hello, I am currently restoring my Bronco II '88. I'm trying to take the front axle and diff apart due to the fact that 4wd doesn't work and movement of steering causes strange noises. When I tried to take it apart I couldn't get past the removal of the spindle, it seems to be stuck. Do you have...

Hey guys, I've got a 98 4x4 with ~160k and it's having some major front-end issues. Over every bump it squeaks like a mofo, the front wheels are considerably cambered, and when braking there is a knocking noise and it feels like the wheels are wobbling. I'm gonna blame it on the 32x11.50r15s and...

My 2002 ranger xlt 2wd is making creaking noises from under the wheel well when I turn the wheel, go over bumps, or shake / bounce the vehicle with my hands. When i say "when i turn the wheel" i dont mean its a power stearing issue, its a creaking noise like theres a suspension part going bad...

I just posted about upgrading the engine in my 2wd 1992 Ranger, 2.3l to make it faster. (here's the thread) But along with making it faster, I want to make the truck a little stiffer to handle corners better, and with less body roll. I've looked into a 4 link rear coilover conversion kit, and...

Hi everyone, so I’ve had my ranger for almost four years. I’ve done a decent chunk of work and add ons. I recently upgraded my rear spring packs to the 43-871HD’s and now am installing my bilstein 5100 series shocks (though they’re meant for a RWD 4in lifted, I did the research and found the...

Howdy ya'll! I have driving Rangers my whole life but have never really worked on beefing them up, just repair and maintenance. Can Some one here help with a little guidance in making my new (to me) 4x4 better off road? The first thing on my list is replacing the rear leaf springs, my bushing...

I'm about to buy a 2001 ranger supercab 4x4 auto it needs a rear frame replacement I've done one before And thought it was pretty easy. I can get one on craigslist cheap but it's from a 2009 regular cab manual. Will it fit? The guy from Craigslist says it will anyone know for sure?

I got an old beater Bronco II. Paid 150 dollars for it and drove it home. Got it running good (High Idle when purchased, Vacuum Leak). This thing was used as a toy and has probably been jumped 2 or 3 times, The leafs are weak and starting to bow negatively at the shackles and mounts. I pulled...

I'm a new member her and would like some help with wheel backspacing and offset. Before you say there's an article on backspacing for this, I know. I'm about to buy a 96 2WD XL Ranger after my next paycheck for $300. Sure there's problems, but I couldn't care. It needs tank straps, leaf spring...
