front end

I have search the forum, and came accross Jims post: https://www.therangerstation.com/forums/index.php?threads/ford-ranger-generations-1983-present.182361/#post-1677841 My question is regarding the front end bumper. Are all the 98-2011 direct bolt on fit?

Hello to the helpful members of TRS, I have a 1998 Ranger Extended Cab 4x4 3.0L 5-speed, torsion bar front end, 155K miles, and it is now way past due for lower balljoints, and upper control arms/balljoints. I recently moved from Ohio to Texas, and having gone from a house to an apartment, I...

I have a stock 98 XLT 2WD ranger and i have decided that i want to convert it to a pre-runner. i just recently got a job at a fab shop and i was considering building new control arms for the front end. i have also thought about just buying something like a total chaos kit for it and not worrying...

Hi there guys. I tried searching for an existing forum with this issue, but had no luck. So, here it goes... My Bronco 2 is clicking loudly in the front end mostly when I'm accelerating, not in 4wd, hubs unlocked.. It starts when in 1st gear and I can hear it through the first 3 gears. It only...

Hey all, Well I'm building up a 302 for a street truck and the front end on my truck is just lacking that aggressive look I want. I've read up on swapping the front end out for a 01-03 edge and I'm looking for any ideas you have for a better front end I can put on before I swap the new engine...

Ok, so I am doing a solid axle swap on my '00 ranger. I am to the point where I need to order front coil springs. The 98+ rangers didnt come with coil springs I need to know what the front end of the 98+ 4x4 4.0L weighs in order to get springs made. My truck cant move so I cant get it to a...

Hey, I've been reading posts and asking around for a while now about why there is sometimes a very noticeable vibration in the front end of my truck. It seemed like everyone I mentioned it to had a different solution. As it turns out, it was the hub assembly that I replaced that fixed the...

Justin here, bought an '89 Ranger 2.3, 2WD a while back. Been busy doing some fixing on it. Does a basic Ranger just drive this funky or is there something else? Front end kinda hops over to the side on bumps. I've put new tires, shocks (Bilsteins), wheel bearings, track arm bushings, I beam...

First off I'd like to say hello to everyone on this forum. I recently inherited a 1999 XLT 4x4 and I must say I love her! Well, I love her all except for the front end (headlights and grill). Being a '99, the headlight pattern leaves me with much to be desired. I do really like the new...
