Thank you very much for producing a very limited number of spindles for the 95 -97 ranger 4wd w/abs.....Bought a junkyard spindle a couple months ago with intentions to do the job as soon as money and time would allow. Tear it all apart and find out the junkyard sold me a non abs spindle. Nearest abs equipped spindle was atleast a week away shipped.
Ford no longer carries this spindle, nor does any parts store... Only available through a salvage yard, and is rare and hard to come by unfortunately. Luckily with some some grinding wheels and a tap and die set I now have the "proper" spindle for this abs equipped truck I own.
All in all with all new bearings, u joints, seals abs sensor, and hub.......plussss some rigging the entire driverside front end of my truck is rebuilt. The shitty thing is I bought all new rotors pads, and wheel bearings and get down to a leaking caliper on the opposite side of the truck the issue started with. Sometimes life is a bitch and that is the story that comes with an 18 year old truck.
Sorry, had to rant........Shitty last few days driving the wives 02 beetle to work........
