Might be picking up a '97 4x2 Ranger for a daily driver tomorrow, they somehow bent the drivers side I beam I'm guessing from yanking it out of a ditch from the looks of it.
Haven't paid much attention to I beam trucks over the years but I know '97's sometimes got some different things than other years brake wise (4 wheel ABS I think?). Are there going to be any surprises when I go junkyarding looking for a beam year wise? Should be simple compared to working on TTB's so that part doesn't worry me... just didn't know if ball joints and spindles changed over the years where it matters.
Didn't see any better areas to put this question... not offroad, not brake related and not technically steering so general axle area it was . Heck, I even looked in the tech area to see if there was anything...
Thanks for any tips.
